Main caption: Morgan Jarrett, executive chef for Patina Group at the Empire State Building, is all smiles as camera crews from Bon Appetit capture a day in the life of the culinary operations at the world-famous building in New York City.
Camera crews from the food and lifestyle brand Bon Appetit recently spent a day at the Empire State Building in New York City to capture content for “On The Line” – a behind-the-scenes documentary-style YouTube series that follows chefs and culinary teams over the course of a day.
The star of the show on this day was Morgan Jarrett, executive chef for Patina Group at the Empire State Building. Within the 102-story building, Patina Group operates STATE Grill and Bar – a full-service restaurant on the ground level – and manages in-office catering and events. Catered events at the iconic building have included everything from movie and television premieres to candlelit dinners on the 102nd-floor observatory, which towers 1,250 feet above street level.
