The big catch with a creative business is that the more successful you get, the more your creative endeavour can feel like a chore instead of a passion. But what if there was one thing you could do to ensure the passion stays? Ben Shewry is head chef and owner of multi-award winning Melbourne restaurant, Attica. Attica has been featured several times in the The World's 50 Best Restaurants and has been named the Best Restaurant in Australia. He is also the author of bestseller Uses for Obsession, a memoir about Ben’s experiences in hospitality. With all of this success and all these projects, Ben has definitely found more demands on his time, and yet he still manages to keep that joy and passion with his creative work. Ben shares:

Gregory Gourdet Chef and Founder - Kann and SousòlAuthor, Everyone's Table: Global Recipes for Modern Health - 2022 James Beard Foundation Award Winner2023 James Beard Foundation Award Winner for Best New Restaurant2024 James Beard Foundation Award Winner for Best Chef: Northwest and Pacific RegionCulinary Director Printemps - New York Gregory Gourdet is a three-time James Beard Foundation Award-winning chef, best-selling author, and television personality. He is best known for his award-winning cuisine, bevy of TV appearances, and trendsetting role in the culinary boom of Portland, Oregon.A native of Queens, NY, Gregory attended the Culinary Institute of America, becoming the school's first student to land an internship with celebrity chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten. For nearly seven years, Gregory honed his culinary skills at three of Jean-Georges' trailblazing restaurants, climbing the kitchen ranks to become one of his chef de cuisines. Gregory ran the kitchen at Portland's Departure Restaurant + Lounge for 10 years, leaving in 2019 to focus on opening Kann. An avid traveler and lifelong student of food and culture, Gregory has made a name for himself by infusing methods and ingredients from all over the world, balanced together with his Haitian heritage, and creating signature flavors adored for their seasonality, boldness, complexity, and spice. He was named “Chef of the Year” by both Eater Portland and the Oregon Department of Agriculture, and is a two-time Bravo Top Chef finalist.In 2021, Gregory released his first cookbook, Everyone's Table: Global Recipes for Modern Health, the ultimate guide to cooking globally-inspired dishes free of gluten, dairy, soy, legumes, and grains. The book is a national bestseller and a 2022 James Beard Award winner for Best General Cookbook. August 2022 brought about the opening of Kann, a live-fire dinner house that showcases traditional Haitian flavors alongside dishes inspired by the cuisines of the African and Caribbean diaspora. Kann was quickly recognized by Eater, The New York Times, and Robb Report as a “Best New Restaurant”; Esquire named Kann the #1 “Best New Restaurant in America.” Portland Monthly and The Oregonian also named it restaurant of the year. Kann was named the James Beard Foundation Awards 2023 “Best New Restaurant.”In September of 2022, Gregory opened Sousòl, Kann's subterranean sibling cocktail bar. Sousòl draws inspiration from the greater Pan-Caribbean for its food and drink menu. It also features a full zero-proof menu for an inclusive experience for drinkers and non-drinkers alike. In 2023, Sousòl was named one of Esquire's “Best Bars in America.”In 2024, Gregory's culinary career was recognized by the James Beard Foundation Awards, which named him “Best Chef: Northwest and Pacific.” The same year, Kann was featured on the inaugural “25 Best Restaurants in Portland, OR Right Now” list by The New York Times and was featured on La Liste's 2025 list of the world's best restaurants. In his role as Culinary Director of Printemps New York, opening March 2025, Gourdet will oversee five concepts, ranging from fine dining to a casual cafe—each a celebration of artistry, unparalleled quality, innovation, culture, and creativity.Gregory sees food as nourishment and is committed to moving the restaurant industry forward sustainably and equitably. He is a member of the US State Department's American Culinary Corp. He is also an ambassador for the Marine Stewardship Council.He spends his spare time trail-running in the woods for hours.Gregory is a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community and openly gay. He is a member of Alcoholics Anonymous and Ben's Friends, a national recovery group for the restaurant industry.

This is an audio file of an amazing video we posted this week. If you want to watch it, head over to my YouTube Channel. What happens when you finally get out of your own way?  In the Season 2 premiere of Heroes of Hospitality, Matt Plapp and David Scott Peters travel to Columbus, Ohio, to meet Avery, a third-generation restaurant owner who transformed a struggling $500K pizzeria into a $5 million powerhouse using restaurant systems, scalable leadership, and smart storytelling. Avery is a standout example of independent restaurant success. After walking away from a promising tech career at Apple, he took over his family's business and quickly realized that hustle alone wasn't enough. Stuck in the kitchen, doing everything himself, he was heading toward burnout just like his father. What changed? He let go. Avery documented every role, empowered his team, and implemented accountability systems. He built a brand rooted in storytelling and a restaurant culture where standards are known and lived every day. Today, he's not stuck behind the oven. He greets guests, leads with vision, mentors other operators, and runs a thriving $5M business that still honors family, legacy, and community. If you're a restaurant operator searching for a real-world restaurant turnaround story, this is your roadmap. - Do you need some help driving sales to your restaurant?   I'm the CEO of America's Best Restaurants. We help restaurant owners get the attention they deserve and find more frequent customers!

Si vous aimez mon univers, sachez que je propose des réflexions personnelles sur les sujets abordés ici (à savoir l'amour, la nourriture, la sexualité…) dans une newsletter qui s'intitule La vie gourmande. Aujourd'hui, j'ai le plaisir de recevoir Bruno Verjus.Bruno est le chef du restaurant Table, qui a été classé 3ème meilleur restaurant du monde au classement The World's 50 Best Restaurants 2024 et auréolé de deux étoiles (et une étoile verte) par le guide Michelin.Dans cet épisode, Bruno raconte l'enjeu qu'il y a eu pour lui à s'échapper de Roanne où il est né, ainsi que le rôle que les livres ont tenu tout au long de sa vie, notamment pour le faire voyager dans le temps et l'espace.Cet autodidacte au parcours hors norme explique aussi comment est née son envie de nourrir et la cuisine qu'il entend servir : une cuisine du vivant, qui prend soin, suscite le désir et exalte les émotions.Mais avec Bruno, nous avons également discuté de son regard sur les classements et distinctions gastronomiques, de techniques de cuisson qui permettent de tromper le cerveau et de la manière dont il aborde les requêtes plus ou moins fantaisistes de ses clients.Distribué par Audiomeans.
