GR Chefs
Matt Millar/Reserve -- Jenna Arcidiacono/Amore Trattoria Italiana -- Tommy Fitzgerald/Cafe Stella
I'm joined by chefs Matt Millar of Reserve, Jenna Arcidiacono of Amore Trattoria Italiana and Tommy FitzGerald of Cafe Stella. We chat about what each of their restaurants offers its diners, what they specialize in, the growing "farm to table" movement in Grand Rapids, the process that goes into the menus they create, how each began their culinary journey, Jenna's opportunity to cater for Snoop Dogg when he performed at the Intersection, details on from Matt on charcuterie, and what each of them chooses to prepare and eat when they are on their off time.
