For the unaquainted, chicory is a plant species that includes greens like radicchio, endive, and escarole, which have "incredible depth of flavor when handled correctly," says chef Travis Lett of L.A. hotspot Gjelina. "People tend to avoid them because of the bitterness and firm textures, but we love them. Substitute in young, crispy romaine or kale if chicory is hard to find." Get the recipe for his tasty chicory side dish here.
