Some Long Island chefs met with President Donald Trump to focus on their hard-hit industry.

Its leadership includes famous North Fork chefs like "Top Chef" star Tom Colicchio, former presidential chef Sam Kass, as well as celebrated Travel Channel chef Andrew Zimmern, who has a house in East Hampton.
