Find food from Westchester chefs at LaGuardia Airport and Yankee Stadium
It's baseball and travel season and this year, you can find two local Westchester chefs at two very different venues: Dale Talde of Tarrytown's Goosefeather at LaGuardia with his new venture, Talde Noodle Bar, and Christian Petroni, a longtime Westchester restaurateur with a studio in Port Chester whose garlic bread is at Yankee Stadium.
Terminal B, Level Four, LaGuardia Airport
Talde, whose known for his seasonal modern Cantonese fare at Tarrytown's Goosefeather, opened Talde Noodle Bar, a full-service eatery in early January. On the menu: an assortment of dim sum like wings, dumplings, bao, and egg rolls. Customers will also find noodles and rice, like ramen, lo mein, and fried rice as well as breakfast. "We keep it simple with egg based dishes with an Asian spin so Egg Foo Young Omelet, a Breakfast Bao, and Breakfast Fried Rice with spicy maple syrup," he said.

Talde said he had a lot of fun coming up with the breakfast and cocktail list, the latter of which are inspired by the classics. "I love the Yuzu Margarita, Post Paloma — and, of course — the Bloody Mary," he said.
Talde said he was honored and grateful to be part of the renovations within Terminal B. After all, "LaGuardia is an institution in New York City," he said.
Yankee Stadium Sections 125 and 310
Petroni, a Food Network regular who won both "Chopped" (2010) and "Food Network Star" (2018), and often appears in Guy Fieri’s "Tournament of Champions," is now, for the second year running, showcasing his ooey gooey cheesy garlic bread at Sections 125 and 310. Loaded with garlic butter and a mixture of mozzarella, pecorino, and parmesan, the bread is inspired by the Bronx red sauce joints he grew up in and features his eight-hour marinara sauce. Versions come in regular and pepperoni and features his favorite sesame semolina loaf, which comes from a Bronx bakery.

Petroni, who's bread also sells on Goldbelly, said he's beyond excited to be back at Yankee Stadium for a second year. "I grew up 10 minutes away from the stadium so to be here with my garlic bread is an honor," he said. "There's nothing that makes happier than sharing the food of my childhood."
Petroni also recently opened a restaurant in Nashville called Ella’s by Christian Petroni with a coastal Italian concept, an open kitchen and a white oak communal chef's counter so if you're traveling through LaGuardia headed south, you have a chance to taste his food in "Music City."
