“To be a chef is greatly rewarding; hearing someone say they love what you have created is what drives us all as chefs. For me, the drive goes much deeper than that. It is about the importance of where our food is sourced, the quality and care with which it is grown, and the understanding that all good food comes from the hands and hard work of the people who produce it. A great chef should always know an exceptional farmer.”
