Description
For three years, at Maude restaurant in Beverly HIlls, Justin Hilbert (who was elevated to Executive Chef by Chef-Owner Curtis Stone in April 2016) changed the menu monthly to celebrate a single ingredient. These days, the restaurant revamps itself quarterly to focus on a different wine region. What kind of chef does it take to pull off this periodic feat, and what toll does the commitment demand of the chef? Find out in this remarkably open conversation with Justin, who also recounts his first days in the pro kitchen, his time in New York restaurants such as WD-50 and Gwynnett Street, and his other creative interests.

Episode 4: Amanda Freitag: Most listeners probably know Amanda Freitag solely as a television personality from her work on Chopped and other shows. But long before her first at-bat on the air (battling Bobby Flay on Iron Chef), Amanda was a veteran New York City chef. We explore that part of her life for the full hour, from her teenage gigs in New Jersey catering halls to the Culinary Institute of America to jobs in the kitchens of such legends as Jean-Georges Vongerichten and Diane Forley, and eventually to becoming a chef in her own right at Cesca, The Harrison, and other New York City restaurants. An honest, funny, insightful hour full of great stories and perspective. by Andrew Talks to Chefs
