Bradley Jay Filled In On NightSide with Dan Rea

Those home-delivered meals are certainly a lifesaver in a pinch, but if you’re someone who relies on them regularly, due to a heavy work schedule or lack of cooking skills, they can quickly become mundane. We talked about simple cooking at home with Marc Sheehan, the executive chef and co-owner of Northern Spy restaurant in Canton, MA.
