"In this new series we take designers out of the studio and into some of our favorite food places around New York and get to know them better. Our first destination? Brooklyn&amp;#x27;s Smorgasburg food market with Michelle Ochs and Carly Cushnie of the brand Cushnie et Ochs. Glamour: Do you guys like to cook? Michelle: I love to cook. I just moved in with my boyfriend so I try to cook as much as I can. I am currently trying to perfect my steak recipe. Carly: Yes, I like to cook and experiment a lot so there&amp;#x27;s no one favorite meal I love to make, but I would probably say one I really enjoy is a whole roasted fish. Glamour: What&amp;#x27;s your favorite healthy meal? Michelle: Breakfast in general. I like a yogurt and fruit to start my day. Carly: It&amp;amp;#8217;s not a meal exactly but I just bought a Nutribullet and it has changed my life. It&amp;amp;#8217;s the best thing in my kitchen. I make a green smoothie every morning for breakfast. Glamour: What type of comfort food do you love? Michelle: Mash potatoes just warm my soul. Carly: A good curry, preferably from Tamarind in NY. Glamour: Name your go-to snack. Michelle: Cheese of any kind. Carly: Cashew nut butter on an oat cake. Glamour: What&amp;#x27;s one of your favorite New York City restaurants? Michelle: The Modern. I love to do a nice tasting menu while there. Carly: Recette. It&amp;amp;#8217;s a tiny little gem in the West Village and the food is always fantastic. What was your favorite meal as a kid? Michelle: Schupfnudeln, which is German gnocchi. My grandmother on my father&amp;amp;#8217;s side made them for us when we stayed with her. Carly: Ackee and salt fish (Jamaican dish). No one can make it better than my mum. Glamour: Name one of your favorite bars in New York. Michelle: Raoul&amp;#x27;s. They have a consistently great dirty martini. Carly: Acme lounge. It&amp;#x27;s always a good time in there. Glamour: What was your favorite dish out of all of our stops at Smorgasburg? Michelle: The Filipino stand that made lumpia, that pork spring roll with a sweet chili sauce on top. I need to get that family recipe from my grandmother. Carly: Probably the lobster roll. It&amp;amp;#8217;s the ultimate summery dish. Glamour: Your clothes often feature slits or cutouts. Do you have any diet tricks for making sure you look good in them? Michelle: Avoid anything with too much salt so you don&amp;#x27;t bloat. Carly: If I need to lose a few pounds I will have a salad for lunch and swap out dinner for a green smoothie. Glamour: Before we head about, tell me about how you guys came to create Cushnie et Ochs. Michelle &amp;amp; Carly: We met while studying at Parsons and then upon graduation decided to collaborate on line as we felt there was a need for clothes that were modern, sexy, and timeless, but done in a very minimal sleek way. This season we are very excited to be collaborating with Pamela Love on jewelry for the show. It&amp;amp;#8217;s going to be a great complement to the collection.
