Andrew Talks to Chefs Scott Conant (multiple restaurants, TV's Chopped, and Martone Street pasta sauces)
[**New episodes of ATTC are now available in video! You can watch on Spotify, or YouTube. Or you can just keep on listening in all the same places you usually do.**]
This is a good one! Scott Conant and Andrew go back a long way, and boy, does it show in this friendly and expansive conversation that covers everything from Scott's newish line of pasta sauces Martone Street, to his restaurants, to his longtime role as a key cast member on TV's Chopped. They also touch on the evolution of celebrity chef culture, how restaurants change over time, and a few of the industry characters they've both enjoyed knowing over the years. We're going a little long on this episode ... stick around for all of it, and hope you have as much fun as Andrew and Scott did!
And thanks to S.Pellegrino for their longstanding support of the pod.
