Mind of a Chef

Kentucky

Ed got his start in NYC but now calls Louisville home. Ed takes us on an insider tour of town to see what goes on behind the scenes with his friend Bobby, a horse trainer. They eschew mint juleps for tamales with the other trainers in pre-dawn hours just days before the Derby. Ed's evolution continues as he discusses how living and working in Louisville has inspired, influenced, and changed him over the past decade - Louisville is where he gently placed aside his classic French technique and decided to do something all his own. Ed delves into Louisville's fried chicken scene and cooks up his own version along with North Carolina chef Ashley Christensen, and uses the city's German heritage as an inspiration to cook hasenpfeffer for his wife, Dianne.
