On this week's podcast, Pat Cobe, senior menu editor of Restaurant Business, and Bret Thorn, senior food & beverage editor of Nation's Restaurant News and Restaurant Hospitality, discussed the time they spent on and near the water in New York City. Pat took a ferry down the East River to Wall Street to check out Jean-Georges Vongerichten's Tin Building, a much-ballyhooed food hall that neither co-host had had a chance to visit yet. Pat enjoyed a savory buckwheat crêpe, and observed that she also had the option to have a South Indian crêpe-like item called a dosa, a fact that dovetailed nicely with a feature that Bret had just written on chicken curry, one of the fastest-growing types of chicken dishes on menus these days. Bret has taken to watching the birds flying over Sheepshead Bay, where he lives now, and he strolled along the bay to Rocca, a Turkish-accented restaurant with a bayside view, where he had a light meal of various mezze dips such as labneh, hummus, babaghanoush and Turkish bread. Pat, too, had sampled a Turkish food she'd never had before, a tiny dumpling called manti, which she had with labneh at a Turkish place called A la Turka. In other food samplings, Bret was sent Buffalo Wild Wings' chicken wings with its new Bacon Buffalo sauce as well as its Triple Bacon Cheeseburger. The guest this week is William Dissen, chef and owner of The Market Place in Asheville, North Carolina, as well as three-unit Billy D's Fried Chicken. Dissen recently returned from a culinary ambassador mission to Malaysia, where he cooked for stateless children near the city of Kota Kinabalu. He also recently published his first cookbook, “Thoughtful Cooking: Recipes Rooted in the New South.” Dissen said the book reflects his own ethos of using wholesome, local food, and he advocates for people to cook that way at home, too. The restaurateur doesn't just help Malaysian kids. He's also involved in education programs for young people at home in North Carolina, and he discussed that mission and also shared strategies for keeping his restaurant's staff engaged, motivated and excited to provide great hospitality.

On this week's podcast, Pat Cobe, senior menu editor of Restaurant Business, and Bret Thorn, senior food & beverage editor of Nation's Restaurant News and Restaurant Hospitality, discussed pumpkin spice season, which is upon us in August just as it is every year, despite annual complaints that it arrives too early. But as Pat observed, operators know when their customers want to start buying those autumnal items, and that time is now.  It's also “Restaurant Week,” in New York City, which now lasts for a month, and Pat made it to a long-standing Jean-Georges Vongerichten restaurant, Perry Street, where son Cedric Vongerichten helms the kitchen. For dinner, she had great pea soup, fried chicken with sweet corn sauce and molten chocolate cake, paired well with sparkling wine, Grüner Veltliner and a berry-flavored spritz-like dessert cocktail. All in, it was $60 for dinner and another $40 for the pairings. That's a good value in New York City, but Pat also took a trip to the Berkshires in Massachusetts, a popular summertime getaway for New Yorkers and Bostonians, and was surprised and delighted to find that entree prices there were considerably lower than at other seasonal resorts in the Hamptons and Cape Cod. Bret stayed local, but enjoyed a good $12 cocktail at his favorite bar, Logan's Run in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Park Slope, and reported in Restaurant Hospitality's New on the Menu column about a cocktail that was a cross between a spritz and an Espresso Martini. The podcast guest this week was Paco Moran, who won season 52 of the TV competition show “Chopped” and is also the executive chef of Loreto, a Mexican seafood restaurant in Los Angeles. Moran's a native Angelino whose parents are from El Salvador, and he started working in restaurants at age 17, when he had a child on the way and needed to make money. He worked hard in professional kitchens at a time when those environments could be quite harsh, and Moran has taken a different approach in managing his own restaurant. He said the cruelty of the past isn't necessary and he wants his restaurants to be fun to work in. That's especially true since his son, now aged 16, is working for him too. That has taught him and his crew patience, both to their benefit and to that of the young cooks who are joining his team. Although he is now an executive chef, Moran loves to get back on the line and cook.

Preston Clark, the son of the James Beard award-winning and one of the most influential and renowned African America chefs in the culinary arts, the late Patrick Clark, is an accomplished chef and rising star in his own right. His father was the opening chef of Keith McNally's Odeon Restaurant, and later helmed McNally's Café Luxembourg and Tavern on the Green. So it did not come as any surprise that Preston would follow in his footsteps.Brooklyn-born and the eldest of five children, Preston's upbringing was very food-centric. His parents met in culinary school and his mom, Lynette, involved the children preparing the weeknight family dinners while his dad was working in the restaurant. Sundays were special family affairs with church followed by Sunday dinners where everyone was involved in the cooking. Around the age of 10, Preston began accompanying his father to work. Through his father, who learned from his father who was a chef before him, cooking with passion and work ethic was a way of life. Sadly, when Preston was 16 years old, his father passed away.Not to be derailed from his culinary journey, Preston graduated from the Culinary Institute of America in 2002 before working for some of the top chefs in the country including Jean Georges Vongerichten, Charlie Trotter, Marcus Samuelsson, and Michael Lomonaco. In 2011, he opened El Paseo with Sammy Hagar and Tyler Florence, that landed on the San Francisco Chronicle's "Top Ten New Restaurants 2011", "Top 100" in San Francisco lists and Preston being honored as a "Rising Star Chef", along with being a semifinalist for the James Beard Rising Star Award.A few years after returning to New York City, with accomplishments earned, Preston landed the Executive Chef position with Mercer Street Hospitality's Lure Fishbar, a neighborhood institution in the heart of Soho, where he continues to hone his craft today as well as being responsible for the other two locations in Miami, and the recently opened Chicago location. He is known for his emphasis on bold flavors, beautiful presentation and fresh ingredients.In this episode, Preston and host Brad Johnson discuss his parent's influence and particularly his father's culinary influence, family values and life growing up, his passion for making and sharing delicious food with people, his love of music, and thoughts about keys to success. His pedigreed culinary background opened the door to opportunity, but his ability to persevere, be disciplined, and accomplish are evident in his journey where performance is judged on a daily basis.

Amanda Freitag is a judge on Chopped, has battled Bobby Flay on Iron Chef America, and she competed for the title of America’s Next Iron Chef. When she was growing up in New Jersey, Amanda’s passion for food was fostered by everyone from her grandparents to her high school home economics teacher. They encouraged her to pursue a cooking career and to enroll at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, N.Y. After she graduated from culinary school, Amanda’s first position in a New York City kitchen was as rotissier and garde manger at Vong under the guidance of Jean-Georges Vongerichten. It was there that she was introduced to marrying French technique with Southeast Asian ingredients and flavors. In 1994, Amanda began working with Chef Diane Forley at Verbena, where she rose quickly through the ranks to become the restaurant’s chef de cuisine. Forley taught Amanda the importance of using local, organic ingredients and introduced her to the Union Square Greenmarket. During her time at Verbena, Amanda realized how much she had yet to learn about the culinary world, and in 1999 she traveled extensively through France and Italy to explore the bountiful markets and progressive restaurant scenes. While in Paris, she spent two weeks working under Chef Alain Passard at his venerable Arpège restaurant. While her time there was short, the lessons she learned were life-changing. At Arpège, Passard insisted on the freshest ingredients, so there was nothing left in the walk-in refrigerators at the end of service besides butter. This eye-opening experience helped Amanda to further develop her deep appreciation of superlative ingredients and the flavors of the Mediterranean region. Upon returning to New York, Amanda worked at some of the city’s most popular restaurants, including Cesca, where she cooked alongside Tom Valenti as his chef de cuisine and earned two stars from The New York Times. Following Cesca, Amanda accepted the position of executive chef at Gusto in the West Village, where her food was met with critical acclaim. In January 2008, Amanda took over as the executive chef at The Harrison in Tribeca. Over the three years that she helmed the kitchen, The Harrison received numerous accolades from local and national media, including a two-star review from The New York Times. Amanda’s first cookbook, The Chef Next Door: A Pro Chef’s Recipes for Fun, Fearless Home Cooking, was released in September 2015. When she is not in the kitchen, Amanda enjoys traveling the world and collecting restaurant menus to add to her ever-growing collection.

Farmer Lee Jones from The Chef's Garden says "We are going to create a whole entire generation of gardeners because once they garden as a child and they learn how fun that is, they understand that the carrot comes from the soil and when they can go with mom and dad and harvest that and bring it in and cook it, and then eat it and realize how good it is and they have a connection with where the food's coming from and how it's grown and how much work it takes to grow it. We've got a generation of gardeners!" What we covered in this episode Farmer Lee Jones says that, with the COVID-19 pandemic, they are even more focusing on health and food safety at the farm. The current situation affected them in a grand way. Over the last 37 years,  hundred percent of their revenue has come from working directly with chefs throughout the United States and internationally.   Farmer Lee Jones explains that the farm is in an ideal location. It is situated 2.9 miles inland from Lake Erie and Lake Erie is the shallowest of all the great lakes and it's also the warmest, and the soil is all old Lake bottom.  In the early eighties, after a very devastating hailstorm that wiped out all the crops, his parents lost the farm. They started back in farmer's market. Farmer lee jones was around 20 years old at that time. They met a local Chef who educated them about growing vegetables without chemicals and told them that they would be enough Chefs in America that would support them to grow vegetables with great flavor. The second Chef was Jean Louis Paladin. He helped them to build their network with Chefs like Daniel Boulud, Thomas Keller,  Alain Ducasse, and Jean-Georges Vongerichten. Farmer Lee Jones says that what they have heard from chefs over the last 37 years is that flavor is the most important. Flavor, flavor, flavor. And that's really what they have based every decision on was the flavor, the integrity of the product, and how it's grown.   With the pandemic, The Chef's Garden pivoted their business to online orders and deliveries.  You can order a box of vegetables, herbs, and blossoms to be delivered at your doorsteps at https://www.chefs-garden.com/products/home-delivery Healthy soil = healthy plants = healthy food for people.  Link to the podcast episode on Apple Podcast   Submitted questions from podcast listeners What is the best type of farming? It is our personal belief, says Farmer Lee Jones from The Chef's Garden,  that God designed a system far superior to anything we can fake out chemically or synthetically. The way that we're farming [in the US] chemically and commercially today is much like our Western culture of medicine. Once we get sick, then a doctor prescribes medicine to treat the symptom. The method of farming that we're trying to do today is more like the Eastern culture. The Eastern culture is, get the body in balance to defend against the disease in the first place. So we have a sane healthy soil, healthy vegetables, and healthy people. We do the soil analysis based on the deficiencies that we find within the soil. Then we plant crop specific. This is what's really cool based on the deficiency we plant cover crops. Different types of plants will accept different types of energy from the sun, buckwheat, Clover, vetch, barley. We even have a 17 variety cover crop mix that we use to give us a, it would be like, like us taking a multivitamin, the plants except different types of energy from the sun, so based on the deficiency in the soil, you plant crops specific. You let that land sit fallow and let the plants in and if you can visualize the leaves of that plant as antenna or receptacles, they accept the energy through the leaves into the stems, then down to the roots and then into the soil. Then the next year when we plant the turnip or the beat or the carrot or the radish or the zucchini or whatever it happens to be, it picks that back up and when we eat it, it builds our immune system.

In this episode, we're bringing you a new set of mini-interviews on the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. First, we're hearing from Cleveland chef Brett Sawyer on how his restaurants (The Plum and Good Company) have been impacted by COVID-19.

Finally, gym owner Alex Osuna tells us about how his independent gym is keeping its members engaged and its staff employed through the era of social distancing.

One of Philadelphia's most anticipated restaurant openings is at the city's Four Seasons Hotel in the new Comcast Tower.  KYW Newsradio's Hadas Kuznits rode up to the 60th floor to meet with Michelin starred chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten where they discuss JG Sky High Lounge and Jean-Georges Philadelphia; it's a project five years in the making.  

Welcome to the Martini Minute, this is what's new in the world of luxury: Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten will reportedly open a 54-seat, residents-only restaurant on the second floor of 220 Central Park in September. The Michelin-starred chef currently helms 36 restaurants across the US and far-reaching destinations—including Paris, Tokyo, and London. But his most famously known for his eponymous eatery on Columbus Circle, which is a mere five-minute walk from the new site.

Jon Gray, the CEO of the Bronx-based food collective Ghetto Gastro, describes himself as a “dishwasher.” It’s a cheeky description, but there is a kind of truth to it. After all, his cohort at the firm includes chefs of very high caliber: Malcolm Livingston II (formerly of René Redzepi’s Noma in Copenhagen and, before that, Wylie Dufresne’s WD-50 in New York), Pierre Serrao (formerly of Cracco in Milan), and Lester Walker (formerly of Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s Spice Market in New York). Though Gray himself does cook, his role at Ghetto Gastro is not necessarily in the kitchen, at least certainly not primarily. The high-flying but still refreshingly down-to-earth smooth-talker is, instead, its marketing mastermind, linking the group up with the worlds of art, architecture, design, and fashion—worlds he’s deeply immersed himself in for more than a decade. Since its founding in 2012, Ghetto Gastro has grown into a cultural force, literally and figuratively cooking up projects that verge on performance art for clients including Apple, Bank of America, Cartier, and Instagram. In this episode of Time Sensitive, the 33-year-old Gray shares the story of how, in the face of a jail sentence at age 20, he turned his life around—and how, after a stint in fashion, he found a calling in combining food with art and design.

Mission + Market Executive Chef Ian Winslade talks about his culinary inspiration, how he made his way to Atlanta and what's in store for the Mission + Market Spring Menu! Web: www.missionandmarket.com About Chef: Chef Ian Winslade has forged his culinary path at some of the most critically acclaimed restaurants in the country, and has been a mainstay in Atlanta's dining scene for over two decades. Winslade, who came to the United States from Great Britain at age 22, began his career at New York's Le Bernardin, widely recognized as one of the world's finest restaurants. Winslade worked his way from the bakery to the kitchen as a sous chef under Eric Ripert, until he was recruited out west by a former Le Bernardin chef to open Opus, a French seafood concept, in Santa Monica. While Winslade says the first fifteen years of his training and career were almost entirely French, it was during his time in California when he began to immerse himself in multicultural cuisine and experiment with the abundance of fresh regional produce on offer at local farmers markets. “I always try to bring flavor and depth to everything I do,” he says. Winslade made his way to the South in 1994 to work for restaurateur Tom Catherall, as Atlanta was evolving its culinary scene and preparing for the global spotlight of the 1996 Olympics. From there, Winslade worked in the kitchens of some of Atlanta's most recognized institutions, including Bluepointe, Spice Market and Market by Jean-Georges Vongerichten, and most recently Murphy's, the Virginia-Highland bistro where he served as executive chef for six years and Paces & Vine. With Mission + Market, Winslade is excited to bridge the classical training of his early career with the global influences and produce-driven culinary approach he experienced in his time on the west coast.

From there, Winslade worked in the kitchens of some of Atlanta's most recognized institutions, including Bluepointe, Spice Market and Market by Jean-Georges Vongerichten, and most recently Murphy's, the Virginia-Highland bistro where he served as executive chef for six years and Paces & Vine. With Mission + Market, Winslade is excited to bridge the classical training of his early career with the global influences and produce-driven culinary approach he experienced in his time on the west coast.

After studying architecture at UC-Berkeley, Pichet Ong eventually made it to New York and worked as a chef with Jean-Georges Vongerichten from 1998 to 2004, cooking at the restaurant 66 (shout out to Sex and the City) and Spice Market, located in the then up-and-coming meatpacking district. Soon Ong established himself as one of the city’s most innovative pastry minds, weaving the flavors of Southeast Asia into classic French desserts. He also low-key popularized the salt-and-caramel flavor pairing that is now ubiquitous. We discuss it all in this lively conversation.Also on the show, Anna talks Austrian food with Markus Glocker, executive chef at Augustine and chef-owner of Bâtard. They talk about intricate Viennese pastries and messy, comforting spaetzle.

Steve talks with Justin Bazdarich, the owner/founder of Speedy Romeo, with two locations in New York City. Justin is originally from Kansas, but his father was from St. Louis, so all of those visits to Imo’s over the years led to an appreciation of Provel cheese. Even though he has worked for chefs like Jean-Georges Vongerichten, opening several of his restaurants all over the world, he always loved pizza. When he opened his own place about seven years ago, he committed to making an artisan pie, which meant at least two days of fermentation, making all of his mozzarella in-house, grinding his sausage and pickling his chilies. His wood-burning oven creates Instagram-worthy corniciones with textbook leopard-spotting, but he hasn’t forgotten his Midwestern roots. One of his best-loved pies is a “St. Louie” with Provel, Italian sausage, pepperoni and pickled chilies.

A former model and corporate executive, driven to introspection after a natural disaster, resolves to move from her native Thailand to New York City and become a chef. That’s the improbable, and improbably successful, journey of Chef Hong Thaimee, who now presides over a number of Thai restaurants in New York City, with dreams of conquering the world “one pad Thai at a time.” Hong shares her story with Andrew, painting us a verbal picture of her Chiang Mai childhood, first days in New York City, education at Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s Spice Market restaurant, and adventures as an entrepreneur in a strange land.

A double-feature episode—Chefs Naomi Pomeroy and Pano Karatassos both have relatively new non-restaurant ventures in their lives. Naomi, based in Portland, Oregon, has opened—of all things—a flower shop. Why did this chef who already has a successful restaurant (Beast), bar (Expatriate), and cookbook (Taste & Technique) take on such a seemingly out-of-left-field enterprise? To find out, Andrew sat down with her at the shop, Colibri, for a free-flowing and wide-ranging conversation. Pano, based in Atlanta, Georgia, and known for his Greek seafood restaurant Kyma, just saw his first cookbook, Modern Greek Cooking, published. Andrew and Pano discuss his career (he came up cooking for Eric Ripert, Thomas Keller, and Jean-Georges Vongerichten) and the process of writing and producing one’s first cookbook. Two complementary interviews about how the chef’s mind and talents can be adapted to extra-kitchen pursuits.

Loring Place chef-owner Dan Kluger first became known to New York CIty restaurant-goers as the chef of ABC Kitchen, where he announced himself with a dynamic, vegetable-forward style that's among the best of its class anywhere in the United States. But this modest chef's backstory is deep, and punctuated by time with industry legends: He learned alongside Floyd Cardoz, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, and Tom Colicchio. A fellow resident of Westchester County, Dan swung by Andrew's house on the way into Manhattan one recent morning for a chat about his life and career, and some thoughts on the value and challenges of keeping it simple.

Most listeners probably know Amanda Freitag solely as a television personality from her work on Chopped and other shows. But long before her first at-bat on the air (battling Bobby Flay on Iron Chef), Amanda was a veteran New York City chef. We explore that part of her life for the full hour, from her teenage gigs in New Jersey catering halls to the Culinary Institute of America to jobs in the kitchens of such legends as Jean-Georges Vongerichten and Diane Forley, and eventually to becoming a chef in her own right at Cesca, The Harrison, and other New York City restaurants. An honest, funny, insightful hour full of great stories and perspective. Andrew Talks to Chefs is powered by Simplecast

Episode #68 - In the world of reality TV and in many real world kitchens, hot-tempered chefs attempt to extract the best from their subordinates through a combination of attitude and intimidation. Despite best intentions over the years, I’ve had my share of this type of leadership and I have to say its time has passed. Restaurants first and foremost are about the customer experience and the culture of hospitality should not be limited to the front of house. Enter Chef de Cuisine Rachel Wiener of the J & G Grill at the St. Regis, Deer Valley http://www.stregisdeervalley.com/jg-grill-park-city. Both the St. Regis and Jean-Georges Vongerichten are world-renowned names, but those who don’t ski may not be aware that Deer Valley, Utah attracts the pampered mega-wealthy and needless to say an uncompromising clientele with sophisticated palates. Not a simple crowd to please. The fact that Chef Rachel humbly leads by example, running her kitchen through respect and encouragement is a testament to her fresh approach of collaboration and mutual respect with the guest experience paramount. Listen as the Chef tells of her early desire to cook, family influences and path through numerous positions in varied kitchens to lead at the St. Regis. Its a refreshing story that I hope inspires other operators, chefs and restaurant people in all positions. In my opinion, this is the true definition of hospitality and the only way to run a kitchen and a restaurant. Thanks for listening.

On today's episode of THE FOOD SEEN, Vivian Howard returns to her roots, literally and figuratively. Raised in Deep Run, NC, amongst tobacco plants and hog farms, it was a move to NYC, prompted by a job in advertising, that lead her to the cooking. Kitchen tutelage from the likes of Wylie Dufrense and Jean Georges Vongerichten, she took this newfound knowledge back south to open her progressive eatery, Chef & The Farmer, to a town hit by recession in need of real, good food. Howard focused on developing a menu based in rural abundance surrounding her (e.g. blueberries, peanuts, sweet corn, okra, collards, watermelon, peaches, pecans, sweet potatoes). Devoted to her area of Eastern North Carolina, Howard began filming a documentary of the farmers behind this produce, which became the Peabody and Daytime Emmy award winning "A Chef's Life" on PBS. In her bible of a cookbook Deep Run Roots, hear the stories behind Blueberry BBQ Chicken and Pecan-Chewy Pie!

Mike Colameco kicks off _ Food Talk _ this week on the line with Florence Fabricant, legendary food critic for The New York Times, chatting about her book “City Harvest: 100 Recipes from Great New York Restaurants.” The new book features an exclusive collection of 100 delicious new recipes benefiting City Harvest, the renowned food-rescue organization that feeds over 1.4 million hungry New Yorkers every year, from star chefs including Dominique Ansel, Tom Colicchio, Daniel Humm, Anita Lo, François Payard, Marcus Samuelsson, Ivy Stark, and Jean-Georges Vongerichten.  Florence highlights her insightful notes on using leftover ingredients and second helpings, making this an ideal cookbook to return to again and again.  After the break, Mike welcomes Master Sommelier Pascaline Lepeltier and Chef Andy Bennet of Rouge Tomate, prepping for an official reopening, and discussing the importance of their healthy menu and, of course, the vast variety of wines offered.  Perhaps one of the few restaurants employing a full time nutritionist, Andy shares a great overview of his cooking philosophy, plus the group discusses the recent news surrounding Danny Meyer eliminating tipping at his restaurants. “We’re trying to produce something that is delicious and a byproduct of that is it’s healthy for you.” [32:00] –Chef Andy Bennett on Food Talk  

Anthony Rose is the genius chef behind Toronto restaurants Rose and Sons, Big Crow, and Fat Pasha. He studied at the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco before working under several New York City food titans, including Jean-Georges Vongerichten.

He also talked about getting drunk with Anthony Bourdain, and bringing Cook It Raw to Canada.

This week on Snacky Tunes, Greg and Darin welcome Amanda Freitag, one of New York’s most celebrated chefs, and the band Kal Marks, who came all the way from Boston to play some rock. Amanda is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, and a well known TV personality and chef for battling Bobby Flay on Iron Chef America on the Food Network. Getting her start under the guidance of Jean-Georges Vongerichten at Vong New York, she eventually teamed up with legendary restaurateur Godfrey Polistina (Carmine’s, Ouest, Virgil’s BBQ) to start the popular upper west side restaurant Cesca Enoteca & Trattoria. Most recently, Amanda was the executive chef at Gusto in the West Village, where she received both critical and popular acclaim. Lastly, Freitag found a new opportunity at The Harrsion in Tribeca. Since Freitag’s arrival, The Harrison has received numerous accolades from local and national media, including a two-star review from The New York Times, as well as features in Time Out New York, New York Magazine and Forbes Life. Boston’s Kal Marks (originally the solo project of Carl Shane and now a trio) are set to release their first full length album as this lineup, and first recorded in a real studio, Life Is Murder, on September 17 via Exploding In Sound/Sophomore Lounge/Midnight Werewolf. They come from a scene of other young raging rock bands (like Pile and Speedy Ortiz), and like those bands, Kal Marks get loud. But they’re also part of a long lineage of indie rock bands with weird-voiced singers that spans from bands like Modest Mouse or Wolf Parade to more recent things like Alt-J. Ever wondered what Titus Andronicus might have sounded like if Patrick Stickles was more into Isaac Brock and less into Conor Oberst? Kal Marks could be your answer. “When I got to The Harrison, I got a call asking if I wanted to be on Iron Chef. I had a great experience that led to Chopped.” [24:30] — Amanda Freitag on Snacky Tunes

Wylie Dufresne was born in 1970 in Providence, Rhode Island before moving to New York in 1977. In 1992 he completed a B.A. in philosophy at Colby College, Maine. After college, Wylie enrolled at the French Culinary Institute in New York and was then employed at Jo Jo’s from 1994 to 1997. He was then hired to work on the opening of Restaurant Jean Georges, eventually becoming the sous chef. In 1998 Dufresne was hired as chef de cuisine at Vongerichten’s Prime in The Bellagio, Las Vegas. In 1999 he left Prime to become the first chef at 71 Clinton Fresh Food, a 30-seat restaurant on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. Dufresne opened (named for the chef’s initials and the street address) in April of 2003, on Clinton Street on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. His partners in the venture are Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten and restaurateur Phil Suarez. He is the winner of the 2013 James Beard Foundation Best Chef NYC award, American Chef and restauranteur who has redefined the culinary landscape with his careful attention to technique and thoughtful imagination. His restaurant pushed American avant garde cuisine to the next level by combining a voracious curiosity with a careful attention to scientifically sound techniques and creative innovation. Wylie has worked in restaurants since the age of 11 and feels drawn to the team mentality and physicality of working in a professional kitchen. He compares the experience to playing professional team sports, which was always a personal aspiration. After spending years working with Jean-Goerges and perfecting classic French techniques, Wylie set out to find his own style and opened to world wide acclaim. The dishes at pushed diners’ perceptions of what food should look and taste like, and challenged cooks to always push for perfection by consistently asking the question, “why”? Wylie has always hoped that diners, cooks, and chefs walk away from saying the experience made them think. After dominating the NYC restaurant scene, his newest restaurant Alder has continued in the tradition of sound technique framed by an insightful and witty creativity. On this episode of Evolutionaries on HeritageRadioNetwork.org, listen as Wylie tells how he went from the world of the classical French masters to one of the most respected and imitated chefs in the world. This program has been sponsored by The International Culinary Center. “Asking “why” to make better food, understanding what an egg is made of, why green vegetables turn brown, what’s happening to the chicken, what does cooking an egg actually mean?” [11:25] “I wanted to create a place where some of the answers can be on hand…we have helped come up with some answers” [12:17] “Making a personal memory into something commercial is difficult…my grandmother might smell different than your grandma.” [15:29] “Talk about what your doing, not where you are shopping.” [17:54] “Whoever dies knowing the most, wins.” [21:33] — Wylie Dufresne on Evolutionaries
