CAFE Talks Episode 17

Every chef has the dream of entrepreneurship, yet only a few are willing and able to take the leap. Regardless – the dream remains alive throughout a chef’s career. Those who are able to bring their dream to fruition understand that there will be sacrifices, but those who succeed know that compromising what they believe in is not an option. Join us for a lively and candid interview with Chef Tim Hardiman – chef/owner of The Tailor and the Cook award-winning restaurant in Utica, New York. Learn about Hardiman’s four important “stakes in the ground”: Know your Source, Sense of Place, Quality First and Always, and Create a Story Behind Every Plate. Relish the chef’s passion, commitment to constant learning, and ability to find work/life balance.

That simple dish that your grandmother made – a dish likely passed down from her grandmother is more than just a memory. That dish reflects an understanding of source, tradition, culture, family, good times and challenging ones, economics and place. As important as it is for young cooks to understand how to cook, it is equally important to know the history of why to cook a certain way – what brought that dish to this place, at this time. Join us for an interesting conversation with Jeff Roberts of Cow Creek Creative Ventures. Jeff is an author, food historian, and an advocate for farmers, cheese makers, and food artisans of all types. Listen in as we share thoughts about the importance of history to the art and science of cooking.
