Chef Eats: Grand Cafe's Jon Radle
We here at Hot Dish got to getting kind of curious lately: First of all, how the hell do chefs have any time to eat in the first place (It's great that they're there when we call at 10:45 a.m. or 9:15 p.m. with a question, but still)? Second, when they actually do eat, what is it they choose to throw back?
Knowing what a chef eats is like the foodie equivalent of the DVD extras on a movie you really like, all that juicy background and commentary. To launch this recurring Hot Dish mini-feature on chef eats, we got Grand Cafe's Chef Jon Radle to share with us what he ate on Tuesday, Jan. 13:
11:45 a.m.: fig and chestnut sausage (from Clancy's Meats & Fish) on grilled bread
4:15 p.m.: bread with salami, Serrano ham, bibb lettuce and aioli
11:45 p.m.: half of a large Dulono's pizza with sausage, mushrooms and garlic
Drinks:
4 beers
two shots of Sambuca
lots of water, all day
This is fairly typical for a work day, Radle says. "I guess there was a little grazing as well, tasting this and that from different dishes over the course of the night. You know, leaf of salad here, spoon tip of potato puree there, that sort of thing."
Stay tuned for more behind-the-scenes eats.
