Podcasts about executive sous chef

Welcome back to the Rock ‘n Roll Ghost Podcast. On this week's episode, the Ghost welcomes Michelin-starred chef Christian Hunter (Chicago's Atelier).Hunter, who has also been a James Beard finalist, joined me back in September of last year to discuss the future of Atelier (currently crowd-funding for a larger space with more foot traffic). Hunter has essentially left Atelier in the hands of Bradyn Kawcak, who was Executive Sous Chef before handed the reins as Executive Chef, but is still credited on the restaurant's website as "Founder Emritus."During the interview, Hunter describes his humble beginnings, his time in Kentucky, coming to Chicago to open Atelier, how and why he walks around Chicago so much and discusses La Verne's, a project intended to be more casual than Atelier that, sadly, is on hold for the time being.Links:AtelierChristian HunterAtelier crowd-funding (via SBMX)

Vicky Gurovich has recently been promoted to Executive Sous Chef at the Belmond Mount Nelson Hotel in Cape Town. It's been a long time coming. She was head of pastry there under Chef Rudi Liebenberg and now runs the kitchen under the steady hand of Executive Chef Luke Barry. Together they've driven innovation in the iconic 'Nellie' Hight Team Tea and have launched a Saturday Braai experience for guests, as well as an extension of the Planet Bar serving a Mediterranean-inspired menu driven by local produce. We chatted about the revered hotel's commitment to working with sustainable local supplier and the importance of this 125-year-old institution's footprint on the culinary landscape of cape Town. Small wonder the 'Pink Lady' was recently named the best hotel in Africa and currently sits at number 28 on the World's Best Hotels list. It was so good to sit and natter with Vicky.Send us a text On Instagram @a_table_inthecorner Cover image sketched by Courtney Cara Lawson All profile portraits by Russel Wasserfall unless otherwise credited Title music: 'In Time' by Olexy via Pixabay

Bristol Brewing celebrates 30 years of brewing beer in Colorado Springs this year, and has created a destination for high quality craft beer and food inside the old Ivywild Elementary building. Visit https://www.bristolbrewing.com to find out what's on tap! In this episode of tap&table, co-hosts Ryan and Matthew had to pull out the collared shirts as they sit down with three of The Broadmoor's talented chefs: Randi Powell, Rocio Palmer and Tia Allen. These incredibly talented women are raising the bar at each of their establishments inside the Springs' five-star hotel at the mouth of Cheyenne Canon. About the Chefs: Randi Powell is now Chef de Cuisine at Ristorante del Lago, known for authentic Italian dining. Most recently, Powell was The Broadmoor's Wilderness Chef, overseeing culinary operations at Cloud Camp, the Ranch at Emerald Valley, and Fly Fishing Camp. She was raised in Connecticut and attended Colorado College before starting her culinary career in The Broadmoor's Culinary Apprenticeship Program, where her first kitchen was (fittingly) Del Lago. Rocio Neyra Palmer is Chef de Cuisine at Summit, an American Brassiere. Palmer was raised in Peru, where she fell in love with the culinary arts by sharing a kitchen with her grandmother. She formally studied cooking in culinary school but also pursued a degree in farming and agronomy, which has deeply informed her devotion to seasonality and whole-animal, zero waste cooking. She joined The Broadmoor in 2008 as an International Culinary Extern and has held a litany of positions at the resort, most recently as sous chef at Ristorante del Lago. Chef Tia Allen is the Executive Sous Chef of Restaurants at The Broadmoor. Chef Tia has been a valued member of the Culinary Brigade at The Broadmoor since October 2014. Chef Tia originally joined from the Sea Island Resort in Georgia where she spent 6 years honing her skills in various outlets. Throughout her 9 years with us, Chef Tia has ventured into a variety of culinary operations including assisting in the opening of Ristorante Del Lago as a Jr. Sous Chef. While in Ristorante Del Lago, she was instrumental in assisting with the Grand Opening of Natural Epicurean and the continued success of Play within its inaugural year. Chef Tia then joined Summit as a Jr. Sous Chef and operated the outlet as the Interim Chef de Cuisine. In 2018, Chef Tia seized the opportunity to join the Banquets team by accepting the position of Sous Chef of Garde Manger. In 2020, Chef Tia became the Ristorante Del Lago Sous Chef and later excelled as the Ristorante Del Lago Interim Chef de Cuisine. Chef Tia was later promoted to Chef of Garde Manger Banquets in 2021, where she has been instrumental in the success of the Banquets Team. Chef Tia has been a prime example of dedication and hard work throughout her time with The Broadmoor. Subscribe, or die! Just kidding, but please subscribe?

Dafne started her career by following the American Dream, seeking to fulfill her parents' hope for a better life in the land of opportunity. En route to becoming an OBGYN, Dafne attended SFSU where she was a biology major and quickly realized this was not her dream, but the dream of her parents. From early in her childhood, Dafne's creativity was what brought her the most joy. As she realized medicine was not her true passion, she made a bold transition and decided to follow her heart to the creative arts. Committed to forging her own destiny, Dafne enrolled in The Art Institute of California - San Francisco where she graduated with an Associates degree of Science in the Culinary Arts. During her education, Dafne started apprenticing under a Certified Master Chef, learning the art of cooking at the highest level for four years. Moving back to Los Angeles in 2015, Dafne began cooking as a private chef for Aubrey ‘Drake' Graham, a high profile assignment that catapulted her to a Sous Chef level. Following her time as a personal chef, Dafne was soon hired by a fine dining Vietnamese restaurant, allowing her to hone new skills, honor different traditions and discover a new level of respect for the sometime tedious process of cooking. For most of her culinary career, Dafne's primary love has been found in Italian cuisine. Her specialty, and most requested dish is born from the craft she's perfected through more than ten thousand hours of meticulous work: Handmade Corn and Truffle Ravioli. Reminding her of her Latin American roots, Dafne fell in love with the culinary traditions of Italy as she proclaims, both cultures' cuisines are  “dominated by grandmas”. Following her passion for pasta, Dafne worked under many talented Italian Chefs, who all imparted their own expertise and artistry, ultimately inspiring Dafne to lean on her creativity in the kitchen. In 2019 Dafne became the Executive Sous Chef at Spring Place, a private membership club in the heart of Beverly Hills. After helping to organize and build the restaurant from the ground up, Chef Dafne (and the rest of the culinary world) was rocked by the arrival of the pandemic. Though not discouraged for long, Chef Dafne was able to shift and once again, re-entered the private chef world. While working as a private Chef Dafne was able to indulge in new found creativity, playing around with the culinary arts on her social media - creating captivating stories of her pasta making endeavors. It was through this that she began to gain some notoriety, and towards the end of 2021, Dafne was invited to partake in the world renowned cooking show, Hell's Kitchen.

Chef Deseree (Dez)'s culinary journey started after working in the finance sector in New York City in the early 2000s, before deciding to pursue a lifelong passion for cooking that had been simmering on the back burner for years. She came by it honestly – her culinary desire was instilled in her at an early age while growing up in a multigenerational family of talented home cooks in Taiwan and eating at night markets and street stands with friends. She went back to her roots, enrolled at the French Culinary Institute and from there embarked on a decade-long career that saw her hone her skills and climb the culinary ladder at some top New York City restaurants, including La Grenouille, Oceana and Locanda Verde. She moved to Vancouver, Canada in 2016 and stepped into the role of Executive Sous Chef at CinCin Ristorante + Bar, before joining the team at Old Bird as its opening chef in 2020 and then moving on to the role as executive chef and sales director at Fresh Ideas Start Here (FISH) during the pandemic. Chef Dez most recently competed on season 10 of Top Chef Canada and finished as runner-up. She is now the Head Chef at Blank Canvas Catering with the Joseph Richard Group. Join us as we chat about growing up internationally, international schools, family, following your passions, dreaming big, age being just a number, cooking, food, guilty pleasures, culture, people, competition, and of course, Top Chef Canada Season 10!

Rachel Miller first fell in love with cooking while working at a small restaurant on the coast of Virginia, where she's from. It was there that she discovered the sensory impact of terroir, since the restaurant sourced ingredients from nearby farms and local fishermen. She also discovered a love for butchering and charcuterie, which quickly propelled her to move to Boston to pursue an entry level butchering job at Lionetti's in the South End. Over the next 12 years, Rachel studied and cooked every day working her way up in some of the best kitchens in Boston, most notably as Chef de Cuisine at Clio, Ken Oringer's flagship restaurant. Prior to Clio, she was named one of Zagat's 30 Under 30: Boston's Hottest Up and Comers, as Executive Sous Chef at Bondir. Once Rachel ran out of opportunities operating other chef's kitchens she decided to move forward and open her own restaurant. For over 2.5 years she worked as a private chef and booked Nightshade Pop Up dinners in and around Boston and the North Shore, learning and growing into her own style. In October of 2019 she opened her first baby, Nightshade Noodle Bar in downtown Lynn, MA where she lives and can be found cooking on the line every night. Follow Rachel for a glimpse from behind the scenes of the Nightshade Noodle Bar kitchen and her next project, Sin City Superette, next door.

In this special San Diego Design Week episode, Tara Monsod, executive chef of ANIMAE, joins me to continue our exploration of inspiration and the senses with the sense of taste. Tara shares how she leads with taste to design beautiful dishes and describes just how intensive the process can be to bring an idea to the plate. She also walks us through her journey to becoming a chef, describing how her culture has greatly influenced her both personally and professionally. Tara's desire to collaborate and share inspires others to step out of their comfort zone and try something new. Guest Bio In her first executive chef role, Tara Monsod brings over a decade of kitchen experience, a lifetime of passion, and a culinary perspective shaped by her upbringing as a Filipino-American to Puffer Malarkey Collective's ANIMAE. Her culinary journey has placed her in some of San Diego's most prominent restaurants, including Richard Blais' Juniper & Ivy, Brian Malarkey's Herringbone and Burlap, and Nancy Silverton's Mozza. Studying under Nate Appleman as Executive Sous Chef at ANIMAE, she continued to hone her fine-dining craft while also experimenting with pushing forward the Filipino flavors she's always known. Now working alongside Celebrated Chef Brian Malarkey as Executive Chef, Tara's interpretation of ANIMAE gives diners a chance to experiment with new dishes, like the Tuna Kinilaw, the Caviar Shrimp Toast, and the Kare Kare Short Ribs with bagoong peanut oil. Mirroring Malarkey's emphasis on hospitality and generosity, Tara can be seen walking the dining room on any given night, greeting guests, engaging and educating them on a particular spice or cooking technique. Sharing her cuisine motivates and moves her, and her hope is to become a culinary ambassador and mentor to the legions of Asian American and Pacific Islander cooks who are looking to break into the restaurant industry.

Take It Personal Chef Service is the culmination of my experience over the last two decades as a professional chef, combined with my desire to serve food in the way that I remember my fondest memories of meals - around the dinner tables with friends and family.Growing up on the rivers and lakes in rural western Kentucky, I first developed a connection with food through a lifestyle of hunting, fishing, farming, and most importantly- sharing food with family and friends.After attending culinary school, I worked my way up through several kitchens, and established my career early on working as Executive Sous Chef for one of the nation's largest microbreweries in Louisville, KY. I eventually moved to Nashville, TN where I became Executive/ Corporate Chef of multiple restaurant & pub venues, catering private meals for music, sports, and film industry clientele.In the Spring of 2017, I moved with my wife and 3 children to Florida's Emerald Coast to permanently live in our favorite vacation paradise. I have always had a strong affinity for the coastal cuisine of this area, and have continued to love creating new and innovative concepts with the area's best ingredients.People always ask me what my favorite food to cook is... The answer is whatever is freshest, whatever is most natural, and whatever brings people we love together. Learn more about Josh here!Learn more about Path to Podcast Success here!

Hi there — happy Tuesday! We’ve got a great conversation for you today with author Adrienne Cheatham on her first cookbook, Sunday Best. Check out the episode and more—featured recipes!—below. But first, a few announcements:Our Summer Cookbook Club is in full swing and we’re baking our way through Jessie Sheehan’s Snackable Bakes. Next Tuesday, we’ll come together on Zoom with Jessie to make a cherry clafoutis (if you’d like) and to discuss cookbooks, sweets, and more. Reserve your seat now! Do you love Salt + Spine? We’d love if you shared this email with a friend who might want to #TalkCookbooks with us, too:And now, here’s Adrienne:Episode 135: Adrienne CheathamThis week, we’re joined by Adrienne Cheatham to discuss her debut cookbook, Sunday Best: Cooking Up the Weekend Spirit Every Day: A Cookbook (with Sarah Zorn).Adrienne is a Chicago native who grew up spending a lot of time in the restaurants that her mother managed. She was drawn to the kitchen and, before long, it became a safe place for her to thrive.After college, Adrienne dove into the back of the house, working in kitchens and enrolling at the Institute of Culinary Education. From there, she landed at Le Bernardin under Chef Eric Ripert, where she spent eight years and worked up from a commis to the Executive Sous Chef of the 3-Michelin star restaurant. She went on to work as the Chef de Cuisine of the Marcus Samuelsson Group, where she helped open new concepts and served as executive chef of the flagship Red Rooster.And of course, through it all were cookbooks. As Adrienne tells us, she worked with both Eric Ripert and Marcus Samuelsson on their books before she landed a deal of her own. And that debut book, Sunday Best, builds on the longstanding family tradition of gathering for a Sunday meal. The roots of the name actually run back to the days of segregation, when enslaved Black people would wear their “Sunday best” in order to “demand respect from those who didn’t accept them as equal.”Today, Adrienne — who also came in second place on season 15 of “Top Chef” — also hosts virtual Sunday Best conversations on her Instagram, an extension of the Sunday Best pop-up dinners she planned pre-pandemic. And now her first cookbook, she brings the “weekend spirit” to everyday cooking with 100 recipes ranging from grilled skirt steak with mustard-green chimichurri to green tomato chili to yuzu banana pudding. Bonus Content This WeekPAID SUBSCRIBERS (you can become one!) this week will get two featured recipes excerpted from Sunday Best: Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Bacon and Grilled Green Tomato Salad with Buttermilk Vinaigrette and Pepitas.Salt + Spine is supported by listeners like you.

Chef Livinton “Levy” Bedminster was born on the beautiful island of Dominica and raised in St. Thomas, USVI. With over 20 years of experience in the culinary field, Chef Levy began cooking at age 13, and earned the title of Executive Chef by the time he was 15.

Chef Jose Salazar was born in Colombia South America and was raised in Queens NY. Chef Salazar got his start in restaurants as a bartender and waiter at some of New York’s hottest establishments- among them, Donatella Arpia’s Bellini restaurant. Although the front of the house is where he started, it was the kitchen that really caught his eye. This prompted him to enroll in the culinary program at the New York Restaurant School. Upon graduating in 2001 he landed an internship with famed Chef Jean George Vongerichten at his namesake restaurant; Jean George. After completing the internship, he went on to work with some of New York’s most celebrated chefs and restaurateurs, including Geoffrey Zacharian of Town, Josh De’ Chellis of Sumile, and Eric and Bruce Bromberg of Blue Ribbon. However, it was Jose’s four years working with Chef Thomas Keller that made the most palpable impression on his cooking philosophies. In 2003 Jose was hired as chef de partie to be a part of the opening staff of the highly acclaimed Per-Se restaurant. Then in 2006, he was instrumental in the opening of another of Chef Keller’s projects; Bouchon Bakery, where he became the Executive Sous-Chef. In 2008, Chef Salazar took his knowledge and experience to Cincinnati Ohio, where he was tapped to be the Executive Chef of The historical Cincinnatian Hotel and Palace restaurant. It’s there that Jose was able to hone his style of cooking, incorporating the ingredients and techniques of the Americas, Europe, and Japan. Since his arrival to the Queen City, Jose has received many favorable reviews, including 5 stars (the highest rating) from Polly Campbell of The Cincinnati Enquirer. He’s also garnered national attention- In 2011 Food and Wine magazine awarded him the title of people’s choice “Best New Chef”. In December of 2013 Chef Salazar and his wife Ann opened Salazar, their much-anticipated restaurant in the Over the Rhine neighborhood of Cincinnati. Immediately after opening it was clear that Salazar was going to be an instant hit. Their modern bistro is packed nightly with diners eating foods such as duck rillettes, fried oyster sliders, rib-eye steaks, and veal tongue al’a plancha. This little forty-five seater, while just around three years old is recognized as one of the best in the city by the dining public and critics alike. In August of 2015, Jose and Ann opened Mita’s, a 135 seat restaurant located in the heart of downtown Cincinnati. This restaurant features the food and drinks of Spain and Latin America with a formal but laid back design. In just a year and a half Mita’s has already set it’s self apart with wonderful food, service, and ambiance. It has received praise from countless publications, both locally and nationally. Chef Salazar and Mita’s have received nominations for “Best Chef”, Great Lakes from the prestigious James Beard Foundation in 2016 and 2017. Chef Salazar is currently in the process of opening up a new eatery this summer (2019) called Goose and Elder.

Filipino-American chef Erik Idos recounts his path into the culinary world, beginning with his rebellious childhood in L.A. and how he decided to pursue culinary school in San Francisco.

He started as the line cook, eventually working his way up to Executive Sous Chef at Nobu 57 San Diego, and finally to Executive Head Chef at Nobu Intercontinental Hong-Kong. Even after a decade into his successful career, Erik took a leap further by opening his very own restaurant chain Chino in Hong-Kong, and eventually in Manila.

Lamar Farhat, Executive Sous Chef at Leila, a modern Lebanese restaurant in Capital Park, Detroit talks to Jewell Dziendziel about the vegetarian dishes. Leila was named Restaurant of the Year for 2020 by the Detroit Free Press. Leila, which opened in late 2019, is described as modern Lebanese cuisine and is the third restaurant from the Eid Family. Lamar and I talk about the concept of Leila, what they are doing differently that sets them apart, and what Modern Lebanese cuisine means to him.  Family is very important in Lebanese culture and Sunday meals are a tradition. Leila is exactly that. Each meal is designed as if you were inside Leila’s kitchen, eating with the family. From the influence of each menu item, to how the dishes are prepared, Leila sets the bar high for not only being a new upscale Detroit restaurant, but a superior Lebanese restaurant.  Leila isn’t cutting any corners. They ditch the food processor and make their baba ghanouj by hand, make fresh yogurt in house, and bake pita in the restaurant’s bread oven to order, “pillows of love” as Lamar describes it. Lamar dishes about the coolest thing he’s done as a chef, sharing champagne with Jermaine Jackson, and let’s not forget his foodie pet peeve!  Leila is located at 1249 Griswold St, Detroit, MI 48226, Capital Park, Detroit, MI.

After almost 20 years of pursuing his dream in the kitchen, Chef John C. Smith opened his own restaurant, EJ'S Urban Eatery, in August of 2017 in Kansas City's historic West Bottoms. The restaurant is a modern version of the traditional Southern comfort food concept known as a Meat and Three. A Chicago native, Smith, was instantly exposed to one of America's greatest food cities, which led him to develop a love of all things food at an early age. He developed his appreciation and experience with southern cooking from his grandmothers, whom he visited every summer and during the holidays, in Mississippi. John chose to follow his passion for food professionally by enrolling at the Cooking & Hospitality Institute of Chicago in 1998. During that time, he worked at Chicago's celebrated Park Avenue Café, under award winning Chef David Burke. Soon after, John wanted exposure to new foods and cooking techniques so he moved to Paris to expand his knowledge and grow as a chef. There, he worked in several restaurants including the Michelin Three Star Restaurant, Taillevent. He returned to the United States after a year to work for Food & Wine Magazine's “Best New Chef,” Ted Cizma at Grace Restaurant, and at the famed Pump Room, under Chef Michael Gaspard, in Chicago. His career quickly took him throughout some of the country's top food cities from Chicago to New York to Des Moines and finally to KC. During his time in New York City, John had the opportunity work under award-winning Chef Tom Colicchio at Craft Restaurant. John fell in love with Craft because the restaurant focused on how to prepare and present a dish perfectly every time. Today, John continues to teach his cooks that “it doesn't matter if you have the finest ingredients if you do not have the right technique.” He also had the opportunity to work as the Sous Chef for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, helping to oversee all six restaurants within the museum. In 2005, he relocated to Des Moines, IA and worked at the award-winning Splash Seafood Restaurant. He later joined 810 Chop House, as Executive Sous Chef, which led to him opening the 801 Chophouse in downtown Kansas City, MO in 2008. In September 2012, John was asked to open The Jacobson as the Executive Chef in the growing Crossroads District in Kansas City, Mo. The restaurant's very public opening gained noteworthy attention surrounding his southern influenced American cuisine and generated national media coverage and substantial buzz from foodies. ​ Soon after, he rejoined the 801 Restaurant family as the Executive Chef of Pig and Finch Gastropub in Leawood, Kan. where he continued to use his talent of blending the influences of his childhood and mentors to create exceptional cuisine in a pub-like atmosphere. With his first chef-owned venture, Smith takes the lead on a national restaurant concept that brings Southern comfort food to the Midwest in the form of a modern styled Meat and Three. EJ's Urban Eatery is the first of its kind showcasing Smith's talents and giving customers the choice of several weekly seasonal features of a protein and three sides. The new restaurant, at 1414 West 9th Street, Kansas City, Mo. 64101, takes its place in a remodeled 100-year-old brick building in the old stockyard and warehouse district of Kansas City's West Bottoms – a section of KC experiencing immense growth and development. @EjsUrbanEatery #Eatlocal #KC #Meat+3 #SlackerMorningShow101theFox #TMobile

Chef Abram Bissell became Executive Chef of The Modern in 2014. Most recently, Abram opened The NoMad as Chef de Cuisine in 2012, directly following his role as Executive Sous Chef at Eleven Madison Park, during which time the restaurant earned three Michelin Stars, four New York Times stars, and membership in the Relais & Chateau association. Earlier in his career, Abram worked in the kitchens of Post Ranch Inn's Sierra Mar Restaurant in Big Sur, and L'Espalier in Boston. Abram attended the New England Culinary Institute in Montpelier, Vermont. He was born into a half Jewish, half Italian family and raised in a fishing community in the Florida Keys, and that is deeply reflected in his cooking. The first dish he learned to make was conch fritters, and that still finds its way onto his menu in present day (but with lobster), and there are elements on various dishes that show his love of Jewish delis.

The first of a periodic series that will explore the foodservice industry and those who are making unique efforts to create more sustainable interactions between the field and the table. Guests Michael Allemeier - Winery Chef, Mission Hill Family Estate (Westbank, BC): Located in the fertile Okanagan Valley, Michael Allemeier has taken food service to a new level. On the other hand, it can be said that Allemeier has returned the operation of a restaurant back to the way they have more traditionally functioned. Before joining Mission Hill in 2003, Michael saw his time spent at Bishop's Restaurant in Vancouver, Wildflower Restaurant in Whistler, and Teatro in Calgary. He is most visually recognized as having been one of the hosts of the Food Network's "Cook Like a Chef" - an internationally syndicated television program. Andrea Carlson - Chef de Cuisine, Raincity Grill (Vancouver, BC): In 1998 Carlson joined Vancouver's C Restaurant where she stayed for two years as Executive Sous Chef before embarking on a jaunt across Eastern Europe and Turkey. Upon returning Andrea created a bakery on Savoury Island and later spent a season at Sooke Harbour House in 2002. In May 2003, Andrea returned to C and assumed the position of Pastry Chef and is now back at Raincity Grill as Chef de Cuisine. Carlson maintains a commitment to all things seasonal; evident in her recent launch of the 100-mile Tasting Menu - inspired by James MacKinnon and Alisa Smith's 100-Mile Diet. "100-miles" refers to the limit at which ingredients can be sourced: creating a truly local and seasonal menu.
