A Journey Inside the Minds of the World's Greatest Chefs

In the last few years, chefs have become rock stars. They have become brands. Their names attached to a project can mean the difference between a restaurant’s success and its demise. Their cookbooks are devoured. They even have their own TV shows.

But what makes a chef become a chef? What in their life experience makes them break away from a typical career path in order to slave in a kitchen and find within it their place of inspiration?

In Chef’s Story, airing each Wednesday on Heritage Radio Network, Dorothy Cann Hamilton—founder and CEO of the International Culinary Center—interviews some of the world’s most famous chefs and asks them to examine who they are, why they are who they are, and what drives them every day to create, inspire, and even entertain.

In these revealing interviews, chefs such as Dan Barber and Jean-Georges Vongerichten, talk frankly not only about their successes, but about the trials, the tribulations, and the failures that brought them to where they are today.

The whole Chef's Story series promises to be one of the most remarkable insights into the chef’s mind. Don’t miss it.
