Listen Later

This is a unique podcast episode with a true Renaissance Man of our age, an artist, chef, and scientist, Enzo Neri. Chef Enzo is an internationally acclaimed chef with experience working in and developing Michelin star restaurants all over the world. He says that "cooking has never been his ambition, but just the way he expresses himself". He has traveled to almost 60 countries in his life, and with his open character and mindset, has been able to single-handedly transform not just restaurants or his close friends and colleagues, but an entire country of the Republic of Georgia with his dynamic and magnetic energy and excitement over the last three years. He is a person that transgresses differences between people's languages, cultures, and beliefs and continues to break new ground, modernize traditional cuisines all over the world and create an unprecedented new tradition of culinary and cultural fusion. In this episode he talks about how chefs are also leaders by their profession, speaks about some of the latest new technologies in modern restaurant kitchens, the scientific rationale of the DOP labels of the protected denomination of origin and the role of history and the environment in culinary traditions. Enzo tells personal stories of his mentors, such as Marco Bistarelli, Fabio Quattrocchi, among others, including a personal gift and strong message he received from Anthony Bourdain. He speaks about the new home he has found in a small but antique country of the Republic of Georgia and its similarities with his native homeland, Italy. He remains a tremendously genuine and patriotic person who shares his philanthropy and legacy openly with people of a wide range of cultures. Enzo is a person who takes advice from the celebrated Massimo Bottura who says that "you should not look at tradition with nostalgia but instead consider it as an evolution". In true "Alloutcoach" spirit, he is an individual who continues to "stretch himself farther, and lift others higher" and he will inspire you with his refreshing insights and energy in this one hour episode!
