What does it take to build a two Michelin star restaurant in just six months?

In this episode, Gabriel Ornelas sits down with Chef Brian Limoges, Executive Chef of Enclos in Sonoma County—one of the most exciting new restaurants in American fine dining.

But this conversation goes beyond the stars. Brian reflects on his journey through some of the world's most demanding kitchens and the personal shift that redefined how he leads today—moving from intensity and pressure to patience, intention, and mentorship.

They discuss the deeper story behind Enclos, the importance of storytelling in cuisine, and how a restaurant can truly reflect the land it comes from. From Sonoma's terroir to team culture, this episode explores what it means to build something meaningful, not just successful.

A conversation about growth, perspective, and the evolution of leadership in hospitality.
