Episode 50 - Chef Ashley Christensen Aug 31, 2017

Show notes

Episode 50 - Ashley Christensen of http://ac-restaurants.com We celebrate our 50th episode in style. Chef Ashley Christensen sits in studio to chat about her life, her family, and why she does what she does...beyond food. We get a little inspirational and tamper it down with some good ol' tales of the business. Ashley is truly the definition of a Raleigh chef and our bellies couldn't be happier. It's clear to hear that being a chef is only the first layer of the onion that is Chef Christensen. We are proud and humbled to have a legend in the industry speak to these two yankees from out of town. North Carolina is better for having Ashley Christensen living with our limits. http://ac-restaurants.com

Episode 45 - Sono Sushi with Chef Hyun-Woo Kim & James Yang With Án in their past, both Chef Hyun-Woo Kim and General Manager James Yang take control of Sono in the midst of transition. The sushi menu has been thoughtfully curated and the saké menu is on point. Án was a focal point for business travelers to the triangle area and closed after a 10 year run. In the dark of night, the doors closed and the staff was left to pick up the pieces and figure out the next move. The lifeblood of Án, the chef and General Manager, transitioned to to Sono. Sono has been a hub for Downtown Raleigh and caters to a worldly palate. This is a new inception of the project has recently been welcomed by it's local inhabitants. Listen to Max, Matt, James and Kim get into Saké and the pairing potential with such a diverse cuisine as sushi. We taste quite a few saké bottles over a conversation fueled by cuisine and flavors.
