Dominique Crenn, chef-owner of San Franciscos's Atelier Crenn, was the first woman in America to win three Michelin stars—and no wonder, when its menu includes elegant, ethereal dishes like razor clams with carrot foam and velvety black squid ink. But on today's episode, which originally aired in 2023, José and Dominique talk about more personal subjects, including Dominique's search for her birth mother and the real reasons she came to America.

After growing up in a hospital family it seemed only natural that Joshua Mason (Quoi Dining, Ciel wines) would venture into the kitchen for a career in food. After cutting his teeth in some well-known venues the likes of Atelier Crenn, Mason saw an opportunity to bring a finer dining establishment to the Hills District of Sydney. Now a few years later he has the only hatter restaurant in the district and some big plans ahead too. https://quoidining.com/ Follow Deep In The Weeds on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/deepintheweedspodcast/?hl=en Follow Huck https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/ Follow Rob Locke (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/ LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS https://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork Deep in the Weeds is a food podcast hosted by Anthony Huckstep in conversation with chefs, food producers and members of the hospitality industry.

“At some point when you want to pursue your passion, nothing should stop you from doing what you love.” - Rami Zakkak This Real Talk is a compelling reminder of the power of following your passion, the integral role of a supportive community in your life, and how challenges can be harnessed for creative, out-of-the-box approaches to your circumstances. The incredible Rami Zakkak joins me on this episode and inspires me with his wisdom! Rami is a 20-year-old Palestinian-American chef, and winner of the InterContinental San Francisco Luce Culinary Clash of 2023. Raised in the Bay Area and deeply connected to his Arabic heritage, Rami shares his culinary journey, plans for the future, and lessons any passion-pursuer can resonate with. Here are the key moments from this episode: Rami's background and inspiration: Rami's love for cooking was largely influenced by his father, who brought home different foods for him to try. Being exposed to a wide variety of flavors early in life, Rami developed a strong passion for culinary arts and hospitality. The decision to pursue culinary arts: Rami faced the challenge of deciding whether to pursue a general education (GE) degree or commit to culinary school. In a fortunate twist of fate, a culinary school reached out to him, offering both GE and culinary education. This experience led him to commit wholeheartedly to his passion for cooking and hospitality. Lifestyle changes and stress management: As a chef, Rami has adapted to late nights and busy weekends, with the ironic contrast of cooking upscale food for others while resorting to fast food for himself late at night. He mitigates stress and nerves by focusing on his passion and love for his craft, which helps him bypass barriers and feel authentically comfortable in the kitchen. Choice of internship and career planning: Rami is in the process of securing an internship and has selected three potential restaurants - Atelier Crenn, State Bird Provisions, and Mourad. His long-term goal is to work under various chefs, travel, and eventually own his own restaurant. Impact of community and faith: Being part of a supportive community and having a strong faith as a Greek Orthodox Christian has been instrumental in Rami's journey. He has experienced the benefits of a community that cares about his well-being and keeps him on his path. His faith has kept him grounded and encouraged his compassionate approach towards others. Humility and ambition in the kitchen: Rami values humility greatly. Despite his successes, he aspires to be a "chef of the people," engaging with them directly rather than distancing himself in the kitchen. He emphasizes not forgetting one's roots despite achieving success. Innovation and fusion in Arabic cuisine: Rami aims to illuminate the richness and diversity of Arabic cuisine beyond staple dishes like hummus, falafel, and shawarma. He experiments with techniques from other cuisines, such as Chinese, and fuses them with his Arabic background to create unique culinary experiences. Handling confusion and challenges: Rami acknowledges the confusion he experienced in choosing a specific path within the culinary industry. However, he also recognizes that this confusion can nurture creativity, driving him to explore new ideas and ventures. Passion and persistence: A key message that Rami imparts is the importance of following your passion wholeheartedly. He advises you to listen to others, but ultimately make decisions based on your interests and passions. His own journey is a testament to this advice, with his hard work and focus earning him credibility and success in the form of the Luce Culinary Clash 2023 victory. Whether you're an aspiring chef, or someone passionate about pursuing your heart's calling, you will find tremendous value from this Real Talk! With so much love & gratitude, Grace

Pressure is inescapable. Especially in the kitchen. It breaks down our beans, keeps our spritzes spritzy, and extracts our espresso. Pressure can also break down our spirits, and kitchens have a reputation for being exceptionally stressful scenes. This week we're investigating pressure in a variety of contexts, from ubiquitous appliances to non-indigenous species. Further Reading:Thanks to Armen Hammer for the cold open music.

Gozu is a modern American restaurant in San Francisco with the unique approach of including some type of premium Japanese wagyu beef in every single dish. That could include the meat itself, the fat that is made into a form of garum — the ancient Roman version of fish sauce — and everything in between. Most customers order the restaurant’s tasting menu and one of four pairings: Wine, sake, whiskey, or tea. The person in charge of those pairings, and all other alcohol served at the restaurant and its adjoining whiskey room, is beverage director Jordan Abraham. Abraham, who was beverage director of Atelier Crenn, also in San Francisco, between 2018 and 2020, joined Gozu in March of 2021, when it reopened. Gozu actually closed before the pandemic started due to a fire on New Year’s Eve of 2019, and when it reopened Jordan set to work with his pairings, the most popular of which is whiskey. Abraham recently discussed his approach to selecting the whiskeys for each course, as well as the complexities of properly brewing a great cup of tea.

Dominique Crenn is the co-owner and chef of the three-Michelin-starred restaurant Atelier Crenn in San Francisco, where artistry is at the forefront, cuisine is a craft, and the community is an inspiration. “Atelier” can be defined as a workshop or studio, a concept that drives Chef Crenn's modern vision for fine French cuisine. Her highly distinctive French heritage and imaginative gastronomic lair behind the stove at Atelier Crenn is a clear reflection of her unique life story. Growing up in Brittany, France, Dominique Crenn developed a keen interest in cuisine from her parents, who celebrated fine dining. While Crenn credits her mother for her early introduction to the culinary arts, she also attributes her culinary passion to her politician father and his best friend, a well-respected French food critic, who exposed her from a young age to many of the region's best restaurants. It was in San Francisco where Crenn began her formal training as a chef, when in 1988, she moved from France and began working under the tutelage of San Francisco luminaries Jeremiah Tower and Mark Franz for over two years at the celebrated restaurant, Stars. Crenn then went on to make history as the first female executive chef in Jakarta, Indonesia, where she headed the kitchen at the Intercontinental Hotel. After having spent about a decade away from San Francisco, she returned there in 2008 to head the kitchen at Luce, in San Francisco's Intercontinental Hotel. It was there that Crenn earned her first Michelin star in 2009 and again in 2010. Driven by her passion to create a deeply personal project, Crenn opened Atelier Crenn, a place to express her heritage as well as an ode to “poetic culinaria,” in January 2011. Atelier Crenn achieved its first Michelin Star within a year, in October of 2011. In the following year, Crenn made history again when Atelier Crenn received its second Michelin Star, becoming the first female chef in the US to receive this honor. In November 2018, Crenn beat her own record and became the first female chef in the US to receive three Michelin Stars. In the summer of 2015, Crenn opened her second restaurant in San Francisco: Petit Crenn, a place where she presented the core of her culinary upbringing and inspiration in a more casual setting. Petit Crenn is an ode to the home cooking of Brittany, inspired by the dinner parties held by Crenn's mother and grandmother, where she first became mesmerized by the art of cuisine and dining. Later that year, she published her debut cookbook: Atelier Crenn: Metamorphosis of Taste. In March 2018, Chef Crenn opened Bar Crenn, a wine bar situated right next to Atelier Crenn. Bar Crenn pays homage to the Parisian salons of the early twentieth century, luxurious locations in the French capital that sought to inspire political, social, and cultural conversations around fine wine and classic French food. Bar Crenn received one Michelin star in November 2018, adding yet more luster to Chef Crenn's luminous career. Crenn and her teams at Atelier Crenn and Petit Crenn were featured on Netflix's second season of the popular Netflix series "Chef's Table." Crenn was nominated in 2016 and 2017 by the James Beard Foundation for Best Chefs in America and received recognition from World's 50 Best Restaurants. In 2017, Atelier Crenn debuted at no. 83 on the organization's list of the world's best restaurants, in 2018 Crenn was honored with the award for Best Chef: West by The James Beard Foundation, and in 2019 Atelier Crenn was named to the World's 50 Best Restaurants at no. 35. In 2021, Atelier Crenn ranked no. 48 on the list and Chef Crenn was honored with the World's 50 Best Icon Award. Crenn continues to be an outspoken and active member of the international culinary community, promoting innovation, sustainability, and equality through her collaborations with organizations such as the Basque Culinary Center and Pan American Development Foundation, as well as her frequent participation in various panels and summits. After years in the culinary world, Crenn has long since evolved from the little girl who sat and dined, entranced by the intricacies and beauty of fine cuisine, although it is still the memories of her childhood that continue to define and extend into her artistic culinary style. On this episode of What's Burning, Dominique Creen's chat with Host Mitchell Davis includes conversation around building a team that has answers you don't, poetics of food and the expansive responsibilities of a chef.

Today’s Iconic Woman is Dominique Crenn, a 3-star michelin rated chef. There are only 137 restaurants in the world that have 3 Michelin Stars, and only 15 in the USA - and Dominique Crenn’s flagship, Atelier Crenn, is the only one in America where the chef is a woman. In 2011, she opened her own restaurant, Atelier Crenn, in San Francisco. The Michelin Guide awarded the restaurant a two-star rating - making Crenn the first ever female chef to receive two stars in the United States. Dominique went on to open Petit Crenn in 2015 and announced that she would be opening a third restaurant, a wine bar featuring small plates, shortly thereafter. She was awarded the Best Female Chef in 2016 by World’s 50 Best Restaurant Awards, and in 2018, she opened her third restaurant Bar Crenn, which was awarded one Michelin star in its first year. She was then awarded her third Michelin Star for Atelier Crenn, meaning that she currently holds four total Michelin stars across her three restaurants. This year, amidst the coronavirus pandemic, Dominique has faced the crisis that many restauranteurs all around the world have faced… how to pivot their business when guests are unable to dine in. Between lockdowns and general safety concerns, Dominique announced a swift shift on March 15. She closed all of her restaurant dining rooms and orchestrated a massive switch to meal kits, takeout, and delivery across all her concepts. She and her team also began to feed healthcare workers on the front line. Dominique says her core mission is “engaging with humanity,” and the coronavirus crisis has actually expanded this mission. She says quote “What I know is that America is an amazing country, and for me America is people coming together to help each other.”

Dominique Crenn is a human-being, first and always. And, even though she has created a life that is speckled with achievements - from becoming the first (and only) woman to earn three Michelin Stars for her first restaurant, Atelier Crenn, to being named the Best Chef in the World by the James Beard Foundation - she has continued to stay guided by her curiosity instead. From a young age, Dominique bent the rules for good; growing up as an adopted child in France, she was given the freedom to tap into her creativity. And, that creativity drove her seemingly risky decisions: move across the world to San Francisco, convince a world-renowned chef to work with you (without any formal culinary training might we add), and open an 18-course restaurant with poetry instead of menus. But, through it all Dominique hasn't let the rules or awards or growth sway her away from her personal mission: help people reconnect to their roots, become more conscious of their choices, and treat our planet (and each other) with kindness. This chat is for anyone who feels like they have a burning passion within them to change the world - and is ready to bend the rules a little bit to do so. Some stuff we also cover: How Dominique's childhood in Brittany, France impacted her view of the world - and connection to local food, nature + farmers Dominique's definition of creativity, and how she uses her memories to inspire creativity in others Exactly where Dominique looks for creative inspiration (and hint: it's not at the farmer's market) How Dominique hires people for her team - and it has nothing to do with what's listed on their resume The thought process behind incorporating poetry into each of the 18 courses at her 3 Michelin Star restaurant, Atelier Crenn Dominique's vision for a sustainable future that requires every single human to make conscious choices Resources you might want to check out: Dominique's Instagram: @dominiquecrenn Dominique's Book: Rebel Chef: In Search of What Matters Atelier Crenn's Website: Atelier Crenn As always, this podcast is sponsored by: Daydreamers.

Bay Area residents review farm to table communal dining in Richmond, a hidden Thai gem in El Cerrito, and upscale Chinese in San Francisco.
"That love, that passion, that authenticity you have within yourself always connects with others." Those are wise words from Dominique Crenn, chef/owner of San Francisco's Atelier Crenn and author of a new book, Rebel Chef: In Search of What Matters. Known as one of the greatest chefs in the world, Crenn's gift is connecting with all humanity through her poetic cooking. It is her philosophy, not technique that brought her to the top. And it's a philosophy that's necessary at this moment of discord, mistrust, and also profound change and opportunity. Listen in to learn what inspired Crenn's pursuit of freedom over and above all else.Want to stay up to date on the latest Speaking Broadly episodes?

SPEAKERS Dominique Crenn Chef and Owner, Atelier Crenn; Author, Rebel Chef: In Search of What Matters Maddie Oatman Food Writer and Editor, Mother Jones Magazine; Host, Mother Jones’ "Bite" podcast In response to the Coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak, this program took place and was recorded live via video conference, for an online audience only, and was live-streamed from The Commonwealth Club of California in San Francisco on June 18th, 2020. This program contains EXPLICIT language.
After an illustrious career and with no formal training, Dominique Crenn was awarded three Michelin Stars in 2018 for her successful restaurant Atelier Crenn. She is the first female chef in the United States to receive this honor, and she credits her unconventional life to her success. At only 20 years old, Dominique Crenn left her home in France for the United States with only one goal—to fulfill her lifelong dream of becoming a chef. She knew that she was too different for the male-dominated culinary scene she left behind, so she set her sights on San Francisco and chose the legendary Jeremiah Tower as her first mentor. She spent the next 30 years not only disrupting food norms, but also vocally challenging sexism, climate change and systemic injustice. Join Crenn at INFORUM, where she will discuss her new and highly anticipated memoir, Rebel Chef: In Search of What Matters, and hear firsthand about her journey in becoming one of the most important chefs of a generation.

If you’ve seen her on the Netflix series Chef’s Table, you know Chef Dominique Crenn is filled with equal parts talent, love, and creative whimsy. Dominique is the chef-proprietor of Atelier Crenn, the San Francisco restaurant she opened nearly a decade ago. And last year Dominique became the first female chef in America to earn three Michelin stars, the highest honor in the food world, all with an eye toward connecting with her guests and ensuring all feel welcome in her space. Raised in the Brittany region of France, Dominique moved to California in her twenties, looking for a sense of purpose, and talked her way into the glitzy kitchen run by acclaimed chef Jeremiah Tower—except Dominique had never cooked in a professional kitchen before. Today she and Jen talk about the ways leaders can help their teams thrive, how women can become advocates for each other, and why it’s so important to care for the earth as much as it cares for us.

Diego Galicia and Rico Torres are successfully drawing the line in the sand between Mexican gastronomy and Tex-Mex cuisine. Every 45 days they change up the menu at the award-winning San Antonio restaurant Mixtli in an effort to educate and entertain diners. Andrew Friedman interviews the duo. Diego Galicia was born in Toluca, Mexico in 1984. He studied psychology at The University of Texas at San Antonio a few years before graduating from The Culinary Institute of America. While a student at the CIA, he was employed at Restaurant Lüke, owned by Chef John Besh, and a local french bakery where he did Sunday brunch. Weekday mornings, he would do service at Patty Lou's at the Olmos Pharmacy. Diego has had the opportunity of working back in his native Mexico at Azul Condesa, owned by renowned Chef Ricardo Munoz, and stints at Michelin starred restaurants Atelier Crenn in San Francisco and Moto in Chicago. Mixtli is a very personal and intimate project that reflects Diego's love and passion for his native country. Rico Torres was born in El Paso, Texas. Early on, he was immersed in the heritage of Zacatecas and greater Mexico, both in travel and through daily life. In 2013, Torres opened Mixtli with Chef Diego Galicia and has continued to dedicate himself to his craft. Each time a new menu concept is developed for Mixtli, Torres researches for hours at the University of Texas at San Antonio’s library, where he has a special partnership and is able to review historic Mexican cookbooks and recipes for inspiration.
