#38. Few stories are as compelling as that of Chef Joey Sergentakis . After a decade abroad, Joey has returned to the U.S., bringing with him a wealth of international experience from some of the most prestigious kitchens around the globe.As the corporate executive chef for CE LA VI, he led restaurants in Hong Kong, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Kuala Lumpur, Shanghai, Taipei, Tokyo, and Dubai. Before this venture, Joey honed his skills with the SWIRE Group and under the tutelage of Chef Gray Kunz in Hong Kong, leaving an indelible mark on the dining scene. His time with Philippe Rochat in Switzerland and at Restaurant Daniel with Chef Daniel Boulud in New York only further solidified his exceptional pedigree.Now, back in his home state of New Jersey, Joey is making waves with his new ventures, Boschetto and Allendale Social, where he's taking a fresh turn towards casual Italian cuisine—a stark contrast to his previous focus on Southeast Asian flavors.In a recent conversation, we delved into reminiscences about the past, the profound influence of Chef Gray, and the exciting direction of Joey's culinary artistry. It's a testament to the dynamic and ever-evolving nature of the culinary world, and a reminder of how shared experiences, even from afar, can shape a chef's unique path.Where to find Joey Sergentakis: LinkedInFacebookInstagramWhere to find host Josh Sharkey:InstagramLinkedIn*Special Shoutout to Warung Rie Rie mentioned by Josh Sharkey in this episode.In this episode, we cover:(02:41) Background on Joey Sergentakis(08:59) Joey's experience moving out of the U.S.(09:40) Joey's inspiration for being a chef(15:45) Differences and similarities between kitchens in the U.S. and kitchens across the world(17:33) Cafe Gray Deluxe(21:45) Mr. and Mrs. Fox(24:07) Joey's experience in Singapore and CE LA VI(38:24) Boschetto and Allendale Social(49:59) Working with Gray Kunz and Joey and Josh's biggest takeaways

In this episode of The Messy Intersection, I chat with Dani Lebovitz, a pediatric dietitian, early childhood education advocate and mom of three who loves the show Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood just as much as I do.  Why a show about feeding our kids and feeding ourselves is dedicating an entire episode to a children's television show? As Dani and I will discuss, children learn through stories. And because there are so few shows that do an excellent job of helping kids learn about food in a positive way, we thought that discussing the show deserved an entire episode! In this episode, we'll how these episodes of Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood can help your child develop a positive relationship with food.

Tune in and get to know the endearing French-born pastry mastermind on an insightful episode of Chef’s Story. This program was sponsored by Hearst Ranch. “Our business in pastry is almost like a florist. If you have two weddings at the same weekend, what can you do? You’ll sleep 2-3 hours a night. During holiday’s, you’ll be in the basement baking!” [08:00] “I think people used to understand that you have to pay your dues before you make it. The problem now is maybe the TV, it’s changed the philosophy of people. They dream of being the Next Iron Chef but they forget that you need to pay your dues to get there. TV gives you the wrong image of things. What we do doesn’t come easy. Most people spend 10 hours a day in the kitchen to be where they are right now.” [25:00] “A bakery is convivial. A pastry shop is something much more refined – where you find creations that you wouldn’t find at a bakery.” [35:00] –chef Francois Payard on Chef’s Story
