...difference at Stone Barns is that the chickens - and the turkeys, and the pigs, and the lambs, and the calves - eat the farm's grass rather than fattier, less healthy grain feed purchased from a supplier. The grass is carefully maintained by rotating the animals on it - veal calves eat the tastiest grass and drop their manure on the remainder. Chickens then come in and clean the calf manure by foraging in it; they also eat some of the less desirable grass. Chickens leave their own manure, which helps the grass rejuvenate. Unlike animals raised in feedlots and pens, Stone...

The centerpiece, however, is the expanded kitchen and open-air dining space that brought home the fruits with a Michelin star last year.

...time the nearby kitchen door swings open. But for John Elkann, the 30-year-old vice chairman of both Fiat and IFIL, the Agnelli family's €6 billion holding company, this is the perfect place for a power lunch. After ordering his favorite Vittoria dish - a lightly fried veal cutlet with fresh tomatoes - Elkann leans in to better explain his choice. "You know why I really like this place?" he says, lowering his voice and widening his eyes. "Because it's fast." Those are the words of a young man on the move. It's been nine years since...
