Description
Not many chefs can boast a degree in Russian language and literature, but that was just one of the many accomplishments Tanya Holland achieved before gravitating to chefdom and gaining acclaim at her beloved Brown Sugar Kitchen in Oakland. While in Brooklyn for Star Chefs, Tanya found an hour to relate her journey from academia to the culinary arts; how her parents’ inclusive worldview helped shaped her own trajectory; her abiding interest in politics and diplomacy; and the ups and downs of running (and relocating) a restaurant. Fun fact: Tanya is also our third guest of the fall who appeared on Top Chef Season 15.

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
