Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Yesterday we brought you video of Michael’s Genuine Food & Drink’s Michael Schwartz on the Today show, and now we bring you an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the shoot.
Chef Schwartz prepared two dishes: caramelized onion dip with fresh-cut potato chips and his homemade ricotta crostini with apricot-thyme jam. Unfortunately, Schwartz wasn’t given enough time to complete the second dish, even with host Natalie Morales’s attempts at stretching the clock. Fret not, fans, you can consult your trusty Michael’s Genuine Food cookbook (or Today’s website) for detailed recipes of the day’s dishes.
Good TV is all about planning. Don’t forget to water the flowers.

Schwartz and food stylist Bianca Henry, deep in concentration, prep the thick-cut potato chips.
And… action! Looks like Schwartz found his shirt just in time.
The magic of TV — if only it were that easy.
