Description
Bruce Marder is the first chef named in Andrew's brand new book Chefs, Drugs, and Rock & Roll. But he's far from a household name, despite the fact that his long-departed West Beach Cafe is legendary, and that he currently co-owns and operates a handful of successful LA-area restaurants, including Capo and the forthcoming Red Rooster. When Andrew's recent flight home from LA got canceled, he suddenly found himself crashing at the home of Bruce and his wife Shelly, and the two sat down for an interview on a sunny Saturday afternoon in the couple's home kitchen. They discuss Bruce's still-burning passion for cooking, his next restaurant, and how he feels about his place in American chef history.

Episode 9: Victoria Blamey: Victoria Blamey is a good sport. The chef of Chumley’s, the reinvigorated former speakeasy in New York City’s West Village, agreed to meet Andrew for a shift drink and interview after dinner service at the restaurant. The two got to it around midnight and talked up a storm over cocktails, while Victoria’s crew gradually wrapped up their evening all around them. The two discussed the restaurant’s already-famous burger and why Victoria won’t customize it (a philosophical disagreement she and Andrew had been arguing for months off-radio); what it was like to be a young, female chef from Chile coming up in Michelin-starred kitchens in the UK and Australia; and her stints working for chefs like Paul Liebrandt (Corton), Matt Lightner (Atera), and Justin Smillie (Il Buco Alimentari e Vineria and Upland). Victoria also shares the origins and inspirations for her distinct visual style and her thoughts about cooking as an expression of self. A personal conversation be by Andrew Talks to Chefs
