Lauren Ziemski has created a creative culinary life that has been able to exist and evolve in the pandemic. You'll hear how she is working solo as a private chef from LA to NY, and in service with chefs BOH and at popups. In fact this weekend she's doing a 4 course dinner service at her hotel and restaurant The Firefly with Nick Tran (of Gramercy). There is still room to join the online cooking class!
...and wait there is more! She shares how she is also a TV host and judge on Food Network shows.
We are trying to bring on some people with strong experience but not necessarily grounded at one restaurant. Lala has accomplished that and more. Follow her food, TV and life adventures on IG @ohheylala
34: HERITAGE KITCHEN IS BRINGING EVERYONE TO THE TABLE
Chef Rey Eunegio has opened a restaurant during the pandemic. He's had a following here for years, and there is widespread support for adding a new cuisine to Baltimore, and actually in the US. Philippino food is one of the lesser known cuisines, and as Chef Rey shares in this episode, it's less about the wild and new cuisine, it's much more about coming together around the table.
Special thanks goes out to Julie, his wife who supported Chef as he stepped into Baltimore's food scene, and found a lovely community to accept him.
If there is one takeaway that comes clear here, is that Chef Rey has been determined to bring something new to the table, and carefully executed a menu that would be well received by people that do know, and still are learning, about this lesser known cuisine.
NOTE: there is mention of video recording, but alas, we are sticking with audio podcast for the time being.
