It's the honesty of the cuisine, the integrity of the cuisine, and the soulfulness of the product and the extraction of flavor. So, those are the catchphrases that I try to live by,” Scott Conant on The Restaurant Guys Podcast 2005BioWhile at the Culinary Institute of America, Scott interned at the restaurant San Domenico in NYC.In September 2002, Scott opened L'Impero in NYC.

ETHAN STOWELL We're diving into the story of Ethan Stowell—a name that's become synonymous with the culinary world in Seattle. He comes from a family of artists, specifically ballet dancers. He's not just a chef; he's an innovator who's left an indelible mark on his community. Ethan started with a vision back in 2003 when he opened Union, his first restaurant in downtown Seattle, praised for its simplicity and its elegance right out of the gate. From there, Ethan Stowell Restaurants, or ESR, grew into something truly remarkable. We're talking about Tavolàta, with its pasta-inspired focus, and How to Cook a Wolf, which brings this delicate, almost artful approach to dining, among others. Oh, and there's Ballard Pizza Company—it's like, the perfect neighborhood pizza spot. He makes high-quality food feel accessible and welcoming. What's even more impressive is how ESR has expanded, now covering over a dozen concepts and over twenty locations, including in Idaho and New York City—and it doesn't stop there. Ethan's team has partnered with iconic brands like the Seattle Mariners. And even with all that growth, there's this real effort to stay anchored in the community. Back in 2008, he was named one of *Food Wine*'s Best New Chefs, and in 2020, he was a semifinalist for a James Beard Award in the Outstanding Restaurateur category. Those aren't just titles—they're windows into the kind of impact he's had, both regionally and nationally. It's stories like Ethan's that remind us how passion, vision, and a commitment to community can truly shape industries and, honestly, create experiences people cherish.

What do we make of Poltergeist and Button Mash closing? Was The LA Times out of line in writing about chef-driven optimism during the tough times restaurants are facing? And why does it matter that yet another LA chef has earned a place on Food & Wine's vaunted list of Best New Chefs? Father Sal's with us to discuss all of the above plus, why Taste waited until now to post one of the best think pieces on The Bear, why Netflix is giving David Chang's Dinner Time Live a season 2, and whether pickles belong on pizza.

Today on our episode #393 of All in the Industry®, Shari Bayer has a special show in honor of Naomi Pomeroy, an award-winning chef and restaurateur, who tragically passed away on Saturday, July 13, 2024, in a tubing accident in Oregon at age 49. As a tribute, we are sharing Shari's recorded interview with Naomi from June 3, 2022, focusing on her chef advice for Shari's book, Chefwise: Life Lessons from Leading Chefs Around the World (Phaidon, Spring 2023), which Naomi is a contributor to. The New York Times stated that Naomi was a "chef who made Portland a dining destination," and described her as "a self-taught chef with an irreverent streak whose high standards and generosity of spirit made her the culinary matriarch of Portland, Ore." As a Portland-based chef, Naomi's ventures have included Family Supper, Clark Lewis, Gotham Tavern, and Ripe Cooperative. Her time as chef and owner of Portland's beloved gastronomic shrine Beast from 2007 to 2020 made her one of the region's most successful chefs and earned her the 2014 James Beard Award for Best Chef Pacific Northwest. Naomi was selected as one of America's Best New Chefs by Food Wine in 2009, and also appeared on multiple cooking competition shows, including as a contestant on Top Chef Masters and Iron Chef, and as a judge on Top Chef Knife Fight and Bobby's Triple Threat. She published her first book in 2016 entitled Taste and Technique, Recipes to Elevate Your Home Cooking, with Jamie Feldmar. In addition, during the pandemic, Naomi became involved in the Independent Restaurant Coalition (IRC). Shari is grateful for Naomi's friendship and contribution to Chefwise, and to be able to share their conversation today, where they discussed many topics in her book, including leadership, business, team, work-life balance, and fundamentals. Our sincerest condolences to Naomi's family, friends and team. Naomi, you will be greatly missed. #RIP Today's show also features Shari's PR tip to say yes, inspired by Naomi; and Solo Dining experience from 2016 at Beast in Portland, Oregon. **Check out Shari's book, Chefwise: Life Lessons from Leading Chefs Around the World (Phaidon) #chefwisebook Photo Courtesy of Dina Avila.Listen at Heritage Radio Network; subscribe/rate/review our show at iTunes, Stitcher or Spotify.

In 1999, when Food & Wine named Rocco DiSpirito as one of its Best New Chefs he was only in his early 30s, but he'd already been in the industry for a couple decades. At 10 years old, Rocco started working at a local pizzeria – a natural fit for a kid whose Italian American family grew most of their own food and started talking about lunch before breakfast was over. His innovative cuisine at Union Pacific made him a darling of both industry peers and jaded New York diners, but it was his cookbooks and stints in front of the camera that made him a household name. In this episode of Tinfoil Swans, DiSpirito opens up about the pressures of being a public figure, what's changed in the restaurant world since he started, the dream restaurant he'd like to own, and what he'd tell that younger version of himself.

From the About the Author section of Alex Stupak's "Tacos: Recipes and Provocations: A Cookbook." "Alex Stupak earned recognition as one of the world's most innovative pastry chefs while leading teams at progressive cuisine icons Clio, Alinea, and wd-50. But innovation only counts, he figured, if you push yourself out of your comfort zone, and so he left that world to cook Mexican food, a cuisine that captured his head and his heart. His restaurant Empellón Cocina earned him a James Beard nomination for Best New Restaurant in the country, and Food & Wine magazine named him a Best New Chef in 2013." Alex is also a metalhead. In this episode we speak with Alex about the parallels between food and music, and the similarities between creating both of these art forms. Alex tells us about his journey going from one of the world's most celebrated pastry chefs, to opening his first Mexican restaurant. We discuss the challenges of being a restaurateur, and the importance of pushing boundaries and pushing yourself. Of course we read some listener emails, do a couple of segments, and mention Gwar, yet again. -------------------- Hosts: Jason Walton and Nick Wusz. "I Hate Music" theme by Marius Sjoli.

Here are a few highlights from our conversation with Angel Barreto, one of the most creative and celebrated chefs in the Mid-Atlantic region and beyond: Staying true to the traditional values of a dish while adding your own voice How working within constraints can bring out innovation and creativity How his family history as sharecroppers influenced his passion for food Why being the first person of color to have a #1 restaurant in DC is both remarkable and disheartening Navigating the tension of appreciation and appropriation Why the best chefs know the history of the food they cook, even when it makes us uncomfortable The one scene from TV show The Bear that may have hit too close to home… Angel Barreto is the executive chef and partner of Anju, a contemporary Korean restaurant in D.C. that received three stars from the Washington Post.

On episode 28, Dr. Amy Sapola and Farmer Lee Jones talks with long time friend of the farm, Chef Bradley Kilgore. Chef Bradley Kilgore was born and raised in Kansas City. After relocating several times to work and train in Denver, Italy and Chicago, Chef Kilgore worked at world renowned restaurant Alinea In Chicago before leaving to open L2o under Chef Laurent Gras. Later, both restaurants garnered the honor of 3 Michelin Stars. He has now planted his feet in the beautiful city of Miami. In the summer of 2015, Chef Kilgore opened Alter in the art focused Wynwood district of Miami. There, he offered Progressive American Cuisine, garnering National and International recognition for his work. At Alter he highlighted indigenous Floridian ingredients and up to 15 course tasting menu and wine pairings. The wine program was named Top 100 in America by Wine Enthusiast several years in a row. Alter received 4 stars from the Miami Herald within a few months of opening, making Chef Kilgore the only Chef in the history of the Miami Herald to receive 4 Stars two times. Alter was also named restaurant of the year by Eater, and Chef Kilgore was named Chef of the Year by the same publication in both 2014 and 2015. Shortly after, and on a meteoric rise, his cuisine was rapidly gaining national attention. From this, Bradley was named Best New Chef in America by Food & Wine Magazine in 2016. later that year Alter was named semifinalist for the prestigious James Beard awards in the category "Best New Restaurant", and Chef Kilgore in the category "Rising Star chef of the year" twice in 2016 and 2017. At Alter, he became well known for his hyper creative presentations and genius flavor combinations. The 15 course tasting menu and wine pairings were unlike any the region had ever seen. In 2018, The James Beard foundation named him a finalist as "Best Chef South". Alter was Internationally recognized twice as a "Diners Discovery" by the prestigious voters of San Pellegrino's "The World's 50 Best". For five years he was the Culinary Director for the Adrienne Arsht Center and had a signature restaurant, Brava, by Brad Kilgore. Chef Kilgore and his team oversaw all Culinary production in the world class performance hall and the fine dining restaurant.

When we think about “authentic” food experiences – what are we really explicitly looking for? Oftentimes the idea of authenticity can be exoticized to represent a particular type of ethnic cuisine at a specific time – or someone's version of it. But in a diasporic world, there are ways to create a menu and recipes that reflect both local and seasonal food availability in a way that continues to weave food stories from the past into present life. My guest this week is someone who is exceptionally good at blending the past and present into her dining experiences, Chef Ji Hye Kim. She is the chef and managing partner of MISS KIM in Ann Arbor, MI. Ji Hye is inspired by her ancestors and their stories told through ancient Korean cookbooks, as well as her farmer neighbors in Michigan. Miss Kim's food is simple and good, with the menu dictated by seasonality and locality following Korean culinary traditions. Ji Hye grew up in Seoul, Korea and immigrated to the States at the age of 13. After graduating from the University of Michigan and a successful career in hospital administration, Ji Hye switched to the hospitality industry in 2008. Having trained at various Zingerman's businesses and Rome Sustainable Food Project, she ran an Asian street food cart before opening a brick and mortar location in 2016. As well as providing convivial service and delicious food, Miss Kim has been committed to doing away with tipped credit and paying a fair wage to all staff since opening. Ji Hye is a semifinalist for the James Beard Award Best Chef Great Lakes in 2020. In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and as independent restaurants across the country are at risk, she was admitted to and participated in the James Beard Chef Boot Camp for Policy Change and Food Lab Detroit's Fellowship for Change in Food and Labor. Recently Ji Hye was chosen as one of Best New Chefs 2021 by Food & Wine. She believes that service is an honorable profession and envisions a more delectable, sustainable, and equitable future for the industry. She's on the show today to talk about her experiences entering the culinary world at a “later” age (it's really not that late), and how she's making space in her restaurants for new ways to think about food, community, and seasonality.

In 1999, when Food & Wine named Rocco DiSpirito as one of its Best New Chefs he was only in his early 30s, but he'd already been in the industry for a couple decades. At 10 years old, Rocco started working at a local pizzeria – a natural fit for a kid whose Italian American family grew most of their own food and started talking about lunch before breakfast was over. His innovative cuisine at Union Pacific made him a darling of both industry peers and jaded New York diners, but it was his cookbooks and stints in front of the camera that made him a household name. In this episode of Tinfoil Swans, DiSpirito opens up about the pressures of being a public figure, what's changed in the restaurant world since he started, the dream restaurant he'd like to own, and what he'd tell that younger version of himself.

In our sixth episode, Food & Wine's executive features editor Kat Kinsman sits down with the multifaceted David Chang. In 2006, Food & Wine named him as one its Best New Chefs, but no one could have predicted the impact that his restaurants, books, consumer products, TV shows, podcasts, magazine, and more would have on food culture — least of all Chang, who didn't expect to live past 35. Ten years past that self-predicted end, the chef who was once as well-known for his volatile temper as his groundbreaking food is finding himself more comfortable in his own skin, but it's a work in progress. Chang opened up about anger, aging, letting go of being cool, being kinder to himself, and an unexpected apology he'd like to make.

“How can we rethink what the standards are for immersion? We don't hide things. The kitchen's open. We take people through the downstairs into the cellar. It's basically your home. It's that heritage of place, capturing this time and being able to share that.” We're in great company with Matt Lightner, a world-renowned and awarded chef with a passion for bringing people closer to nature through his innovative farming, immersive dining, and sensorial hospitality experiences. His latest venture as Chef and Partner of the recently restored and newly opened Tributary Hotel and its adjoining restaurant ōkta, blends all of this together in the perfect presentation of what makes the Pacific Northwest so rich as a region - a place Matt lovingly calls home and invites guests to too. In this episode, Matt shares how his passion for hospitality goes beyond people and place - to create immersive experiences that evoke all of the senses and celebrate the change in seasons. Top Takeaways [2:00] From a young age, out of necessity, Matt Lightner found a passion for cooking with his hands and a love for watching people gather together over a meal. [3:30] Inspired by El Bulli during his time in Spain and the trend in immersive dining in Europe, Matt returned to Portland, set on creating futuristic and progressive experiences around food. [4:10] It didn't take long for Matt's unique approach to cooking to catch the attention of the hospitality industry as he won Food & Wine's Best New Chef and was nominated for James Beard Rising Star Chef while at Castagna, before moving to New York and quickly collecting two coveted Michelin stars for his restaurant Atera. [5:40] With a longing to return to the Willamette Valley to put the Pacific Northwest, its rich agricultural landscape and wine culture on the world map, Matt is doing exactly that. [16:45] How a restored historical building in the heart of downtown with its craftsmanship attention to detail, is juxtaposed in an intentional manner, to the design of its adjoining restaurant where the attention to detail is on the food itself. [19:00] Paying “Tribute” to the terroir, the waterways and the weather, Matt explains the meaning behind both Tributary Hotel and its restaurant ōkta. [25:40] “Bed and breakfast” is an experience unto itself at the Tributary Hotel with woodfired baked goods, farm fresh eggs, larder crafted vinegars and oils, all presented in a way that evokes grazing. [31:00] The story of a ceramist shows the power of building and growing as a local community of growers, vintners, artists, makers and purveyors. [33:20] The seasons inspire the menu. Hear why this summer's menu is titled “The Kindle.” Notable Mentions elBulli, Girona, Spain Atera, New York City, New York Portland's Restaurant Scene Castagna Gregory Gourdet at kann Vince Nguyen at berlu Visit For Yourself Tributary Hotel Website @tributaryhotel ōkta Website @oktaoregon Stay In Good Company Website

You know how some childhood foods become taste touchstones that live in a memory? Well, for brothers Nick and Peter Dale of Athens, GA, that taste was Ecuadorian chocolate. When they went to visit their mom's family there on vacations and holidays, there was just something special about that chocolate, something they could never quite taste outside of the country. And for a future chef like Peter Dale, that was the fuel for a creative journey. See in 2012, Peter was named The People's Best New Chef of the Southeast by Food & Wine Magazine, as well as a Rising Star Chef. He helped Hugh Acheson, who he worked with at Five & Ten, open Empire State South in Atlanta, and since then, Peter has become an Athens chef powerhouse, with The National, Seabear Oyster Bar, and Maepole. In the middle of all that restaurant work, in 2014, he and his brother Nick created Condor Chocolates, which imports Ecuadorian chocolate, then produces and sells bean-to-bar chocolate bars, truffles, sipping chocolate, gelato and a variety of confections. It's their homage to the birthplace of their mother, a testament to the sense of adventure that brought their Dad to her, and a celebration of that taste of Ecuador, home of some of the finest cacao in the world.

"When I do anything, I like to break all the bricks. What was here before Lincoln Center was old San Juan Hill, a very affluent or a very popular Afro-Caribbean, Afro Latino area. It just spoke to me. It was like, I'm supposed to be here. I'm supposed to revive the stories of the people and give a voice to the inaudible and that's what the restaurant does. It tells a story of New York, but not the New York that I guess the affluent think of. For me, it's the story of immigrants, it's Puerto Rican it's Dominican, it's Jamaican, it's Nigerian, Senegalese, like all these things for me made New York special." Kwame Onwuachi As a 40-year veteran of the restaurant industry, it gives me so much pleasure to see the mainstream recognition and opportunities for success afforded to the talented generation of people of color pursuing careers in hospitality. This group of entrepreneurs and chefs is making a name for themselves illuminating the way forward for the next generation. My guest, Kwame Onwuachi, has racked up a pretty impressive list of accolades including one of Food and Wine's Best New Chefs, Esquire Magazine's 2019 Chef of the Year, and The San Francisco Chronicle said that Kwame was the most important chef in America. That's a big title and quite an accolade. He is also the creator of the Family Reunion, an annual multi-day event that takes place in Middleburg, Virginia and celebrates diversity in the hospitality community. In September, 2021, Kwame hosted the esteemed James Beard Awards having previously won the Rising Star Chef of the Year award in 2019. He is also the author of a memoir, Notes from a Young Black Chef, that is being adapted into a feature film. Raised in New York City, Nigeria, and Louisiana, Kwame most recently opened Tatiana restaurant at Lincoln Center in New York City. Join me, your host, Brad Johnson, and Kwame as we learn more about this young talent on Corner Table Talk. * * * Instagram: Corner Table Talk and Post and Beam Hospitality LinkedIn: Brad Johnson E.Mail: brad@postandbeamhospitality.com For more information on host Brad Johnson or to join our mailing list, please visit: https://postandbeamhospitality.com/ Theme Music: Bryce Vine Corner Table™ is a trademark of Post & Beam Hospitality LLCSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
