Athleisure Kitchen

On today's Athleisure Kitchen, we catch up with Chef Chris Scott who we have enjoyed seeing him compete as a cheftestant making it to the finals of BRAVO's Top Chef Season 15 as well as when he is judging on a number of shows, most recently Food Network's Bobby's Triple Threat. We talk about his TV appearances and why this is important to include with his brand. His passion for food, bringing awareness to African American cuisine and technique is seen in every dish. We caught up with him right before he dropped his cookbook Homage: Recipes and Stories from an Amish Soul Food Kitchen. In this cookbook, he shares the story of his family over 7 generations from enslaved ancestors, to his great-grandfather who migrated to Pennsylvania after the Emancipation Proclamation to where Chris grew up in Amish country. This heritage and experience led him to being a successful chef in Philadelphia and New York City. In addition to his story, he illustrates how Amish Soul Food is a blend of Southern, German and Dutch cuisines.  

We also talk about his restaurant at Butterfunk Biscuit, teaching at the Institute of Culinary Education and the importance of giving back through time and education to those that are coming up in the industry.
