As a little girl my grandparents daily would say "They were running down to Chanatry's Market" Growing up around the Utica region this market was a staple to many to finding great ingredients and a woman who posted the most amazing "Utica Greens" recipe in the local news paper. I think no matters who's friends house you went to every mom had this recipe cut out and in thier recipe box and was used often. Now all of us kids are grown and of course this recipe is in our recipe boxes. It's a part of our background and truly the original way I knew how to eat greens.
