Chef Tadashi Ono: Serving The Essence of Japanese Cuisine For Three Decades

Our guest is Tadashi Ono who is the executive chef at Teruko https://hotelchelsea.com/dining-and-bar/teruko at The Hotel Chelsea in New York. 

Tadashi's career has been built through deliberate decisions along with his flexible, lighthearted approach to life. 

When he arrived in Los Angeles in 1982, he started his culinary training and eventually proved his talent as the executive chef at the legendary French restaurant La Caravelle in New York, where he earned a 3-star review from The New York Times twice.  Over time, he realized that Japanese cuisine was what he wanted to cook and shifted his focus.  He earned a great reputation at the popular Japanese restaurants, including Matsuri at the Maritime Hotel in Manhattan.  

In this episode, we will discuss Tadashi’s unique career development, why he enjoys cooking Japanese more than French (which he also loves), the Japanese dishes he wants you to know beyond sushi and ramen, the creative yet traditional menu he serves at Teruko and much, much more!!!
