Andrew Talks to Chefs Episode 88: Patrick O'Connell, Lincoln Carson
An intersection of the classic and contemporary defines today's episode: First up: Last week, Andrew made a pilgrimage to the legendary, three-Michelin-star Inn at Little Washington where the singular visionary Patrick O'Connell has been lording over his dream restaurant, inn, and other properties since 1978. While there, the two sat down for a revelatory conversation that has had Andrew's head spinning in all the best ways ever since. Then, we turn our attention to Los Angeles, and Lincoln Carson's new Arts District restaurant Bon Temps, which just debuted. Lincoln and Andrew have known each other since 1993, but hadn't seen each other for a quarter-century, so not only cover Lincoln's life and career (until recently, mostly focused on pastry) but also to shared memories of industry friends and restaurants from over the years.
