In this episode of the Greece Chats Podcast with Tony Kariotis, Chef Christos Bisiotis shares his remarkable journey from Greece to the United States. From his first job at Christos Steakhouse to cooking for President Obama at the White House, Christos reflects on the experiences that shaped his career and the philosophy that guides his cooking. He opens up about his time at Eataly, the importance of management in the kitchen, the impact of the pandemic on his plans, and how he built new ventures such as Terpsi Hospitality and Bellita Pasta in Miami. Throughout the conversation, Christos emphasizes the role of family, simplicity, and Greek culture in his life and his food.

The episode wraps up with a fun rapid fire session where Christos shares his favorite places to visit in Greece, his go-to traditional dishes, thoughts on Greek coffee culture, and even his signature dish.

Stay tuned until the end as I ask Christos our signature sign off question: what does being Greek mean to you?

This week on the Greece Chats Podcast I’m joined once again by Nikitas Tsoukales as we dive into the Coldplay controversy and the global reaction it sparked. We talk about the disappearing act of Greeks in America during peak vacation season. Paros was named Best Island in Europe by Travel and Leisure, sparking a debate between Tony and Nikitas. A heatwave hits Greece, Michael Jordan hosts the Board of Greatness event with NBA stars, and the Hellinikon Tower reaches its halfway mark. Kansas City Chiefs star George Karlaftis signs a major contract extension, and we discuss whether Greece is becoming culturally homogenous compared to the 90s and 2000s. And we’re still waiting on Kyriakos Mitsotakis to confirm if you’ve been to Samos.
