Today on our episode #372 of All in the Industry®, Shari Bayer's guest is Eli Kulp, chef and partner of High Street Hospitality Group, and host of The CHEF Radio Podcast and co-host of Delicious City Philly Podcast. Eli’s accolades include Food & Wine’s Best New Chef 2014, James Beard Finalist 2016, Bon Appetit’s No. 2 Best New Restaurant in America, and Craig LaBan’s Chef of the Year 2013. A graduate from the Culinary Institute of America in 2005, Eli worked for notable NYC restaurants, including Casa Lever, Del Posto, & Torrisi Italian Specialties. He was then drawn in to Philadelphia’s Fork by award-winning restaurateur Ellen Yin, and began overseeing the kitchens at Fork, a.kitchen and a.bar, and High Street Market, as well as expansion to NYC, when his path greatly changed in 2015 as he was involved in a tragic incident while commuting between Philadelphia and NYC — an Amtrak accident where he endured a spinal cord injury. Despite his ability to no longer cook, he has stayed involved in the kitchen in various ways with his award-winning restaurant group, and is thriving with his podcasts and more. Today's show also features Shari's PR tip to live every day as if it's your last; Industry News on the Michelin Guide Ceremony 2023 - New York, Chicago, and Washington DC; and Robb Report's first annual ranking of The 50 Most Powerful People in American Fine Dining; and Shari's Solo Dining experience at HaSalon in The Venetian Resort in Las Vegas.
