On this episode of the Hot Spot series, Gabriel Ornelas sits down with Chef Charlie Mitchell, chef and co-owner of Clover Hill, a restaurant in Brooklyn, New York. Charlie is no stranger to the kitchen. Over the past 9 years, the 30-year-old Detroit native has worked sous chef and executive sous chef positions at Eleven Madison Park, Jônt in DC, Bresca in DC, the Greenwich village neighborhood classic Villanelle, and One White Street in Tribeca. An incredible resume for just under a decade in the business.      Only 8 months after Charlie began his first executive chef position at Clover Hill, he made history by becoming the first Black chef in NYC to receive MICHELIN Guide NY 2022 Young Chef Award. And just a week ago, James Beard Foundation announced Charlie as one of the semi-finalists for the 2023 James Beard Awards' Emerging Chef category.     In this episode, Charlie and I discuss his history-making Michelin award and what that means for him, his partners, and his team moving forward. He shares how he stays balanced and grounded, while also pushing forward and continuing to evolve as a chef. We cannot wait to see how Charlie continues to make an impact in NY and around the world as his platform grows.   For more info on Clover Hill: https://www.cloverhillbk.com     Follow Charlie and Clover Hill on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chuckgood/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/cloverhillbk/?hl=en     Follow On The Pass: https://bit.ly/3BpHckD     Follow our Host, Gabriel Ornelas: https://bit.ly/3hTpONC     Read Gabriel's recent LinkedIn artcile: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/playa-viva-design-culture-wellness-yes-food-gabriel-ornelas/?trackingId=Up0neKK5SgODudXglUKerQ%3D%3D     Lets work together!
