Chefs are today’s rockstars. In Chefs, Drugs and Rock & Roll, the prolific and award winning chef writer, Andrew Friedman, chronicles the compelling story of the first generation of American chefs set in the 1970’s and 1980’s before “fame and fortune” was on their horizons. He interviewed more than 210 people over the span of five years to capture this retrospective and revolution of American chefs who were finding their own voices while breaking free from the French toques and redefining the stature of cooking for a living. Some of these culinary legends include Alice Waters, Jeremiah Tower and Jonathan Waxman.
Recently, he joined Chef Jaime Laurita and me in the Viking and La Cornue showroom in the Merchandise Mart for a Kitchen Chat. Friedman shares fascinating insights into the past, present and the future of chefs in America. He also discusses the role and impact of social media in the restaurants.
Here are just a few of the many restaurants in NYC where Andrew Friedman likes to frequently dine:
