In a recent installment of Eating Wrong, SFR food writer Zane Fischer spoke with the director of Las Cosas Cooking School, Johnny Vollertsen (aka Johnny Vee). In the article, Vollertsen comes off as a smooth operator who keeps his cool under pressure. Chef Chat doesn't buy it. So this week, we decided to ambush Vollertsen with a mostly new set of questions in order to find out just how even his keel really is.
This week Chef Chat pays a visit to Zia Diner where chef Peter Walsh opens up about about his affinity for Asian cuisine, his fearless attitude toward food and his devotion to children.
In last week's Chef Chat, Café Pasqual's chef Katharine Kagel mentioned Aqua Santa as one of her favorite restaurants in Santa Fe. So this week, we decided to ask Aqua Santa chef Brian Knox to open up about his penchant for roast meats, his alter ego as a rancher and his strategy for dealing with stress.
For this week's Chef Chat we visit a fixture in the Santa Fe food scene, Café Pasqual's, where chef Katharine Kagel opens up about her favorite foods, the one food she absolutely hates and how mood influences and inspires her craft.
As part of a new weekly column, SFR takes a gander at Santa Fe's culinary landscape through short interviews with those at the helm: chefs. This week, we put La Boca executive chef and owner James Campbell Caruso in the hot seat to learn what he's cooking, where he eats and even what's in his home kitchen.
