For the May/June edition of Edible Manhattan (on newsstands now), deputy editor Rachel Warton wrote a fantastic piece about Baldor, one of the city’s largest distributors of fruits, vegetables, olive oils, cheeses — basically anything that can possibly fit inside your stomach (that’s legitimately edible). From corner bodegas to high end restaurants like Eleven Madison Park and Per Se, Baldor provides the goods. I had an amazing time waking up at 4am (no sarcasm here) to meet my Baldor contacts at Eataly, and to document a behind-the-scenes look at what they do on a day to day basis. After thoroughly enjoying a quiet, early morning shoot at Eataly, we crossed the river to check out Baldor’s football stadium sized warehouse in the Hunts Point section of the Bronx. The vastness of the giant facility blew me away, and could not merely be expressed in words (or photos – but hopefully you can get an idea from the below tearsheets). Additional images to be posted shortly!
