Episode 113: Philly Chef Conference with Antonio Bachour, Chelsea Gregoire, Jason White, Greg Vernick, and Bo Bech
At a time of industry and international crisis, we hope this episode will be a welcome respite for industry and civilian listeners alike. Andrew recently made his annual pilgrimage to the Philly Chef Conference where he spoke with some of the most exciting and influential food and drink professionals working today: They are (in order of appearance): Pastry genius Antonio Bachour of Coral Gables, Florida; Esquire magazine's beverage director of the year, Chelsea Gregoire of Baltimore; fermentation pioneer Jason White; prolific Philly chef-restaurateur Greg Vernick; and Copenhagen-based New Nordic OG Bo Bech.
If that weren't enough, Esquire magazine's food and drinks editor Jeff Gordinier joins Andrew to introduce the conversations.
Enjoy these interviews individually or pass a few hours taking them in in one sitting.
And thanks to The Good Witch Coffee Bar for hosting our introductions this week.
Hang tough, industry friends.
