Is Eater's new list of the Essential 38 Restaurants perfect, or is it the most chaotic list of all time? What do we find groundbreaking about Keith Corbin and Daniel Patterson's upcoming fine dining concept? And where would we eat if we could only eat at 3 restaurants for the rest of our lives? Father Sal is with us to discuss all of the above, why you should check out a newly released Great British Baking Show companion pod, why you can maybe skip Tom Colicchio's new memoir/cookbook, and why your next tasting menu experience might be a couple courses shorter. Our interview today is with Chef Dominique Crisp, Culinary Director of The Lonely Oyster. Dom's got a fascinating story and he also happens to be part of the Oyster Master Guild. That means Dom is to oysters what sommeliers are to wine. He teaches us to appreciate the wonderful world of merroir, and what distinguishes good oysters from oysters that are, to paraphrase Dom, better than s*x. Dom also tells us how the late, iconic Naomi Pomeroy played a pivotal role in his career, and what he learned from his previous venture Saso, which he opened in Pasadena smack dab in the middle of the pandemic and ultimately decided to walk away from despite its rip-roaring success.

Tommy Habetz is one of the most significant people in the Portland food world. Having learned his craft from the likes of Mario Batali and Bobby Flay, he made his way out to Portland and found himself in the middle of an exciting time in the early days of Portland's burgeoning food scene. He worked with Naomi Pomeroy at both Ripe and Gotham Tavern along side some other chefs and restaurateurs who would go on to accomplish great things as Portland became a hotbed of culinary talent. Now, over 20 years later, Tommy owns and has built some of the city's most notable spots: Bunk Sandwiches, Bunk Bar, and Pizza Jerk. In December of 2022, he suffered a brain aneurysm, which landed him in the hospital for four months. He still hasn't returned to work at his restaurants, and isn't sure when and if he will. Tommy was gracious in agreeing to come on the podcast with us to share his memories of Naomi Pomeroy, not long after her tragic death in a rafting accident. He also talks about his big health scare, how it's changed his life and outlook as well as what he's up to and what's important to him now.

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.

On this weeks episode of Farming for Health, Dr. Amy chats with Dawn Perry. Dawn Perry is a writer and cookbook author, currently working on her first cookbook (Simon & Schuster, Spring ‘22). She is the former Food Director at Real Simple where she oversaw recipes and food content on all platforms. After stints in both the pastry and savory kitchens at Mike Tusk's Quince restaurant, Dawn made her way back east where she worked as a private chef for several years before making her way into food media. Dawn's first gig in editorial was cross-testing recipes for Martha Stewart's Cupcakes which should have won her a medal, but instead earned her a full-time position developing recipes and food styling as Associate Food Editor at the much beloved Everyday Food (RIP). She moved on to work in the test kitchen at Real Simple (her first tour) where her “The Only Cake Story You'll Ever Need” was nominated for an IACP award.

When coronavirus restrictions began to ease earlier this summer, some restaurants and bars were able to use Portland streets for outdoor dining. But as Oregonians brace for the winter, restaurants will have to adapt to the bad weather, or make do with limited indoor seating. We check in with Naomi Pomeroy, chef and owner of Beast and Expatriate, and Tom O'Leary, owner of T.C. O'Leary's. They tell us how business has been so far, and what restaurants still need to survive.
Michael Hebb is an innovative and influential cultural figure, entrepreneur and activist, described by the New York Times as an “underground restaurateur, impresario and provocateur.” He believes that the dinner table is one of the most effective (and overlooked) vehicles for changing the world. After teaching a University of Washington graduate course titled Let’s Have Dinner and Talk About Death, Michael started Death Over Dinner. This project was created as a gift, an invitation and a simple set of tools to help families and friends address the basic human fact that we are all, at some point, going to die. We suffer more when we don’t communicate our wishes, we suffer less when we know how to honor the wishes of our loved ones. -- Michael is a partner at RoundGlass and the Founder of Deathoverdinner.org, Drugsoverdinner.org, EarthtoDinner.org, WomenTeachMen.org and The Living Wake.

After many restaurants closed mid-March due to the coronavirus pandemic, a number of local restaurant owners came together to try to figure out how to access help and support each other. Portland restaurateur Naomi Pomeroy co-founded the Portland Independent Restaurant Alliance, and she’s been talking with state and local representatives to help them understand the kinds of challenges that restaurants face. Pomeroy has also joined the national Independent Restaurant Coalition, which is pushing for a $120 billion federal relief package specifically for restaurants. She joins us to talk about how she and many of her fellow independent restaurant owners are thinking about reopening.
In our continuing series of conversations about the COVID-19 pandemic effects on the food industry, we meet up with Naomi Pomeroy and Robert J. Nelson.

In a moment of profound unrest and unprecedented chaos, Americans are wondering what comes next. For citizens and businesses alike, this is a period of questioning, rethinking and rebuilding -- sentiments that have been reflected in many conversations we've had over the last ten weeks. For the very last episode of Six Feet Apart, we look at what the pandemic has done to one of our social institutions, the American restaurant, to better understand what went wrong, how it might get fixed, and what happens to everyone in the meantime. First, Alex talks to Riley, a server in Nashville who is working shifts at recently re-opened local pub. Then she speaks with to Danny Meyer, the CEO of Union Square Hospitality Group, about what re-opening might look like in the country's hardest-hit city, and the implications for the restaurant business on whole. And finally, she talks to Naomi Pomeroy, the chef and owner of the tiny, critically-acclaimed Oregon restaurant Beast, about what might happen to an independent restaurant surviving on tight margins in a moment of crisis and reinvention.

COVID-19 is impacting the US economy and has a devastating effect on Chefs and the restaurant industry. Early on, people started to cancel their dinner plans, then they favored grocery versus take-out and finally a lot of restaurants were ordered to close and many closed because of no income. I have three guests today: Naomi Pomeroy, based in Portland, Oregon, has helped define Portland as one of America’s most culinarily creative cities with her restaurant, Beast. Ian Boden, located at the foothills of the beautiful Appalachian Mountains, has contributed, with his restaurant The Shack in Staunton, Virginia, to the revival of the Southern cuisine. Gabriel Kreuther has proven, with his 2 Michelin star restaurant in Manhattan, that the market for fine dining remains at a high level. I have three top Chefs invited them on a panel discussion about COVID-19 as they represent different regions of the US and different restaurant styles. What we covered in this episode COVID-19 impact on restaurants When COVID-19 started, their restaurant reservations drop off first by 40% and finally by 70%. As they saw reservations dropping off, some restaurant made the call to switch their model and try to pivot to do take out and deliveries. Chef Ian Boden says: “First, we followed the protocols. If you enter the restaurant, wash your hands. When you leave the restaurant, put on gloves to bring stuff to people at the curbside, sanitize your car if you're doing deliveries. The reality is that we're just spinning wheels. The restaurant wasn’t paying its bills. The staff wasn’t making money. And the anxiety and stress of the whole thing we're bearing down on all of us.” Chef Gabriel Kreuther says: “The hardest thing was to make those personal phone calls to people that worked with me for twenty, fifteen, ten, eight years, that we are forced to close and temporarily have to lay them off.” COVID-19 impact beyond restaurants Chef Naomi Pomeroy: “So many restaurants are connected to so many purveyors. We all have a community network that goes way beyond even just our family. One of the biggest and most difficult things is knowing that the chain is pretty long of people that are getting affected by this.” Chef Ian Boden: “The supply chain is huge. We also deal with reps. Virginia is a wine country, and all of those local wineries are struggling now. Chef Gabriel Kreuther: “There are also so many people that are struggling to get an every day meal on the table. So in New York City, all the restaurants worked with Harvest City and other charities to handle all the food.” Thoughts on early stage of government support The three Chefs reacts to Chef David Chang's statement in the NY Times “Without government intervention, there will be no service industry in the future.” On the current (mid-March 2020) support from the government about COVID-19, the three Chefs stated that it was not even close to sufficient. Chef Naomi Pomeroy: "It's really like a small Band-Aid. There is a strong argument to be made for the fact that CIVID-19 is physical damage and that insurances should be accountable for that. Another thing that we are fighting for is tax breaks." "We're trying to educate people in Washington, educate the general public that if you want to have these unique and special restaurants around, we have to have a bailout." Chef Gabriel Kreuther: "These closings are not made by choice, they are mandated. And I believe that when the government comes and mandates you to close, they have to have a plan to make you survive." The three top Chefs agree: "It's about leadership from the top down. And, if we don't have leadership on the federal level, the local level is useless.Then at the same time if it's not coming from the top, top-down, then maybe it needs to come from our representatives in Congress and our Senators."

If there’s one thing Naomi Pomeroy has noticed in her years of cooking and running restaurants, it’s that people don’t seem to have time to eat anymore. Whether it’s the traffic in Portland, Oregon, where she is a restaurateur, or whether we’ve all just subconsciously sped up over time, it’s getting harder and harder to convince people to settle in for a leisurely several-hour-long dinner.This hasn’t stopped her from serving a six-course tasting menu at Beast, the restaurant she’s owned for more than 10 years, or from serving leisurely drinks and snacks (like her famous take on James Beard’s raw-onion sandwich) at Expatriate, the restaurant across the street.But slowing down and enjoying things is important to her, whether it’s the meals she eats with her kitchen staff or the time she spends on floral design at her new plant shop, Colibri. On this episode, we talked about what’s changed in Portland since she opened her first restaurant, what’s changing in restaurant work culture, and what cooking and flowers have in common.Also on the episode, Matt talks to chef Daniel Holzman as part of their ongoing series, 100 Questions for My Friend the Chef. This week, they’re talking about the virtues of homemade hummus.This episode is sponsored by Joule by ChefSteps.
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.

What is American food? To answer this question—and dispel the myth that our nation is a culinary wasteland—food author and editor Gabrielle Langholtz presents us with America: The Cookbook, a comprehensive compilation (and celebration) of our country’s myriad traditions and regional favorite dishes. Langholtz is joined in by Seattle-based chef and author Renee Erickson and Portland, Oregon food legend Naomi Pomeroy. Together they open a conversation about America’s heritage of melting-pot fusion cooking techniques inspired by immigration and diversity, which has emerged into the rich innovative culture we know today. Through her thoroughly researched compendium of 800 home-cooking recipes, complete with state-by-state menus and essays from 100 of our foremost chefs and food experts, Langholtz invites us to explore the history of American cuisine. Gabrielle Langholtz is the author of America: The Cookbook, former editor of Edible Manhattan and Edible Brooklyn, and previous head of special projects at New York City Greenmarket. Renee Erickson is a James Beard Award winner and co-partner of The Walrus and the Carpenter, The Whale Wins, Barnacle, Bar Melusine, Bateau, and General Porpoise, and author of the author of A Boat, a Whale & a Walrus. Naomi Pomeroy, a native Oregonian, cooks produce-forward food at Beast in Portland, Oregon. She won the James Beard Foundation Best Chef: Northwest award and is author of Taste and Technique, winner of an International Association of Culinary Professionals award. Presented by Town Hall Seattle as part of the Arts & Culture series. Recorded live at The Summit by Town Hall Seattle Friday, October 13, 2017
Naomi Pomeroy’s Portland restaurant Beast turns 10 this year, and over the past decade, the self-made chef has mellowed. Ten years of running the restaurant, which, so far, has stuck to a six-course menu and set seating times, has taught the Pomeroy to yell less, adapt more, and consistently prioritize fun in the kitchen. “The key to my success has always been empowering the people around me,” she says. Another likely contributor: fan-favorite appearances on two TV shows. After getting her start in food with her own catering company at 22, she’s done all this without ever having worked for “one of those old man chefs.” Pomeroy stopped by the Eater Upsell to chat with Upsell hosts Helen and Greg about her rules for the kitchen, drawing menu inspiration from the sky, and being “robbed” of an Iron Chef win. We'd LOVE to hear from you. Email us with your questions, comments, suggestions at Upsell@eater.com. and check us out on twitter!

Today is a very special food-and-drink-only episode of Snacky Tunes. Darin and Greg Bresnitz are joined in the studio by Naomi Pomeroy of Beast in Portland, Oregon. Tune in to hear about Beast’s history in the Alberta Arts District, Portland’s affinity for farm-to-table cooking, and its fixed menu in a sea of vegetarians and vegans. Naomi discusses what two tribute dishes she would make for the people who taught her how to cook- her mother and grandmother. Also in the studio is Lesley Townsend, founder and organizer of the Manhattan Cocktail Classic. Tune in to hear about this year’s event and all of the surprising collaborations with technology, theater, and music. This program has been sponsored by Hearst Ranch. “Portland is a really natural place for farm-to-table food because the farms are really close to the city” “This is a fixed menu, and there’s going to be meat.” — Naomi Pomeroy on Snacky Tunes “The whole point of setting up the festival in this way is to have as many different entities become a part of it, and host their own events.” — Lesley Townsend on Snacky Tunes
