hef Brendan Collins, whose much-
lauded Los Angeles restaurant, Birch,
opened last year, saunters through the
Hollywood Farmers Market (HFM).
He chats up one of the vendors, pinches off
greens and chews their wares. With a nod
of his head and a smile, he purchases veg-
etables before walking to the next stall. His
eyes are wide, scanning the tables, in search
of the best produce for his diners.
