Episode Details
Back to Episodes179 | Chef Chris Zabita from Society Cafe in New York on Farmers Markets, Creative Cooking, Picky Guests, Experimenting with Food + more!
Description
My boyfriend and I spoke in person with executive chef Chris Zabita at his NYC market to table restaurant Society Cafe a couple weeks ago. We talked about everything from picky eaters to cooking for yourself as a chef to the competitive nature of the restaurant industry. Since moving to New York I’ve been recording most of my interviews in-person and I’m loving it because it allows way more intimacy than Skype can, hopefully you can feel that and it's a welcome change to the show. I’ve also been exploring the plethora of restaurants in the city Cafe Society being one of them. This interview was a blast to record and I hope you enjoy eavesdropping on this candid conversation. Chef Chris gave us a look into what it is like to be a chef, how he feels about popular foodie trends, how he feels about picky eaters modifying his dishes, and much more.
