Christopher Nicolson has been the resident winemaker at Brooklyn’s Red Hook Winery since 2008 but you might not guess he’s also a successful salmon fisherman.  Born and raised in Montana, Christopher’s family has been fishing salmon in Alaska’s Bristol Bay for more than 200 years. When the salmon farming industry blew up in the late 1990s and devastated prices for wild salmon, Christopher and his cousin launched the Iliamna Fish Co. to help sell their family’s yearly bounty directly to chefs like Dan Barber, as well as to home cooks.  Tune in to hear more about this fascinating guest as well as his ventures in wine on this brand new episode of Feast Yr Ears!

This week on _ Feast Yr Ears _, Harry is in studio with Chef Tom Jones, Pastry Lead Instructor at the International Culinary Center.  Before becoming a pastry chef, Tom served in the military for 14 years—by his estimation, an “oddly suitable background for working in the culinary world.” After trading in his camouflage for chef whites, Chef Tom landed premium positions at New York’s Lutéce, Daniel, and ultimately, pastry chef at the exclusive Sony Club.
