Catalonia has the most Michelin stars in all of Spain - with a whopping 70 in all. The last three stars were added just this week, at a gala held in Barcelona to announce the restaurants that would be included in the 2024 Michelin Guide to Spain. One of them is a Barcelona joint, Disfrutar, that was given its third star – the highest achievement in the guide's ranking. In this episode, we'll talk about Catalonia's world-renowned cuisine and visit a restaurant in Igualada, Somiatruites, that has a Green Michelin star for its focus on sustainability. The Catalan phrase of the week is: "Descobrir la sopa d'all," which translates literally to "Discover garlic soup," and is used when someone claims to do something new but is actually recycling an old idea. Presented by Lucía Benavides with Lorcan Doherty.

A Brooklyn Childhood and a Lifelong Culinary PassionFrom humble beginnings in Brooklyn, helping his ailing mother in the kitchen, Franklin Becker's culinary journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. In my recent conversation with him, Becker recounted how these early experiences ignited his passion for cooking, which later became his medium for celebrating family, friends, and cherished moments.Navigating the Waters from Chef to EntrepreneurOver three decades, Chef Becker has left an indelible mark on New York City's culinary landscape. His stints at iconic restaurants such as Catch and Capitale have garnered him accolades and recognition, including being named a Star Chef Rising Star. He was also a contestant on Bravo's "Top Chef Masters." Transitioning from a chef to an entrepreneur wasn't devoid of challenges, from construction hurdles to managing restaurant operations. Yet, with establishments like The Little Beet and The Manhattanville Market Food Hall under his belt, it's evident that Becker has navigated these waters with aplomb.Point Seven: Celebrating the Earth's Aquatic BountyThe most recent venture from Becker and Stephen Loffredo's Hospitality Department is Point Seven. Situated in the iconic MetLife Building, this seafood-centric restaurant stands as a testament to Becker's commitment to sustainability and authentic cooking. Inspired by global coastal cuisines, the menu at Point Seven showcases diverse seafood preparations, marrying techniques with flavors from different countries. From indulgent luxuries like Live Scallop Ceviche to innovative dining experiences like "Sushi Unrolled," Point Seven promises a gastronomic journey like no other.An Ocean of Inspiration: Behind the Point Seven MenuBecker shared with me the philosophy behind his dishes at Point Seven. The name itself, representing the 70% of the earth covered in water, emphasizes the restaurant's theme of celebrating aquatic bounty. The dishes range from a Caribbean fish stew with Dominican flavors (but employing French techniques) to an interactive dining experience where diners can create their own sushi hand rolls. In true Becker style, the menu at Point Seven evolves based on the availability of seasonal products.The Importance of Teamwork and Mentorship in Culinary ArtsThroughout our conversation, Becker continually emphasized the significance of collaboration, mentorship, and teamwork. From key members of his team, like Kevin Garcia and Dan Drohan, to his collaborations with industry stalwarts like Stephen Loffredo, it's evident that Becker values the power of collective effort. He believes that mentorship plays a pivotal role in the culinary world, and he takes immense pride in having mentored several chefs who've achieved notable success.Giving Back: A Culinary Maestro with a HeartBeyond the kitchen, Becker is passionate about giving back to the community. Inspired by his son's journey with autism, he created the charity "Autism Speaks to Wall Street, Celebrity Chef Gala." For Becker, being a chef transcends the boundaries of the kitchen. It's about being a mentor, a leader, and a beacon of hope for many.Having delved deep into Chef Franklin Becker's world, from his childhood inspirations to his latest culinary ventures, one thing remains clear: his passion for the culinary arts is unwavering. As a host and a culinary enthusiast myself, I am continually inspired by figures like Becker, who not only redefine the culinary landscape but also remind us of the power of passion, perseverance, and giving back.Discover more culinary stories and interviews on the Chef AF podcast.

Chef Art Smith is known across the country and around the world for his cooking, but he started out his life in the little-known, rural town of Jasper, Florida. “Seventh generation — and I'm the only family member on my father's side that actually left the state and I'm the only chef among all the police officers and people within the prison system, etc,” he said. Though he is the only chef, Smith is not the only member of his family to learn their way around a kitchen. “They could really cook and they all believed in the power of food,” he said. “You feed them, they come. You keep feeding them, they stay. You feed them a lot, you get what you want.” Smith went to school at Florida State University, though he admits he was not the best student and was flunking classes. However, he did take advantage of other opportunities at the school. “I discovered something called an internship and so it was like a free pass out of school,” he said. Smith wound up interning at the Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia. “Then Disney came a calling and that was a harder sell. It took me, I remember at least three or four auditions before I got it,” he said. Smith said the competition among his fellow interns at Disney was stiff. “I went there and there were all these culinary students. They all thought they were a little fabulous. And so the chef of the former Empress Lilly threw this baking contest,” he said. Smith said he was not a trained baker and learned by reading on his own. “I entered it, and I beat them,” he said. “So I was like, ‘I don't have to have a culinary education to beat other chefs.' So I go back to school, still not doing great and the dean says, ‘You know Art, you're a very nice guy. You're a good cook, but you're a terrible student.' He said, You know, the governor needs some help. So I want you to go over there and help him out.'” It was in the governor's mansion that Smith's career really started to flourish. He began to prepare meals, not just the governor, Bob Graham, and his wife, Adele Graham, but also for their guests — such as Mikhail Baryshnikov. “It was not the highest paying job in my life, but what it did do — once you work for a head of state, you have something called security clearance,” Smith said. This would pay dividends for the chef later in life, after he had made his way to Chicago. “A very special guest came to Chicago and they could not find a chef to cook for her,” Smith said. “Because Scotland Yard would not approve any of the chef's because they didn't have the security clearance.” This ultimately gave Smith the opportunity to cook for Princess Diana. “If I hadn't worked for the Grahams — if I hadn't worked at the Florida governor's mansion — I wouldn't have the security clearance and I wouldn't have been able to cook for her,” he said. On the latest episode of Florida Foodie, Smith shares more of how he came up in the culinary world and eventually found himself as the personal chef to Oprah Winfrey. He also talks about his restaurant at Disney Springs and some of his signature dishes. Please follow our Florida Foodie hosts on social media. You can find Candace Campos on Twitter and Facebook.

207: The Rise of Chef James Shirley: From the South Side to the Top of the Culinary World 7 2 Do you want to be successful in the culinary industry? You're told to get experience in as many kitchens as possible, but you can't seem to get your foot in the door. If you're feeling stuck and frustrated, this episode is for you. "I always reach back. I don't look down on people. If I'm looking down, I'm looking down to reach up, to reach my hand out, to pick you up, because I've seen it happen." -James Shirley. James Shirley is a world-renowned chef who has worked in some of the finest restaurants in the world. He is known for his dedication to his craft and his ability to mentor and coach other culinarians. This is Chef James Shirley's story... James Shirley had always been passionate about music, but when he found himself without a place at Gramblan state, he decided to return to Chicago and look for a job. He ended up working in the kitchen of Spiasha, a Northern Italian restaurant. There, he was taught by the executive chef, Anthony J. Montuano. Montuano saw potential in Shirley, even though he was a disaster in the kitchen, eventually making him his sous chef. Shirley went on to have a successful career as an executive chef, breaking stereotypes along the way. In this episode, you will learn the following: 1. How James Shirley went from the streets of the South Side of Chicago to the shores of Hawaii 2. The demons that James Shirley had to fight along the way 3. How James Shirley became a successful executive chef Chapter Summaries: [00:00:04] - In the past, it was easy for an owner to buy his chef a car, get him an apartment or help him with his recreational activities. Now it's more difficult. On this episode of chef life radio, adam lamb and James Shirley will talk about how James Shirley came up in the industry in Chicago and how he went from the south side to the shores of Hawaii. [00:02:28] - Adam is happy to welcome James Shirley to the show. James got into cooking because he has a strong work ethic based on his family upbringing coming from the south. Adam's mother is Betty Shirley, a world-renowned jazz singer, the famous jazz singer who lives in New Orleans. James worked for the city of Chicago. James got a lot of training and mentorship at Bias. Anthony J. Montano, who is the executive chef and part owner of Spiesho, worked for the Levies. James was the only black guy in the kitchen in a five-star restaurant with no pedigree for a long time. James is happy when he goes on LinkedIn and sees a vast array of people of color at the level of executive chefs. Adam Lam is still working as a sous chef for the city of Chicago. Adam used to cook and call himself Moonlighting. Adam worked at Gordon's and Gordon S. Claire's restaurant in Jupiter, Florida. Adam has worked in some of the finest restaurants in Windy City. Back then, you could get paid what you were worth if you had owners willing to pay that. [00:17:58] - John's family came from Jackson, Mississippi, Alabama, and New Orleans. His grandparents left the south around the time of Emmett Till's Lynching. They came north and settled in the Bronxville area of Chicago. John didn't have a working functioning relationship with his mother in his early years. John's mom is a product of the Vietnam era, and she sang in New York for a while.

The reality of the industry was not as sunny as Brandon expected though.
