Harrison Cheney might be the best chef of his generation.

His restaurant (Sons and Daughters) recently earned its second Michelin star and a green star, and Harrison himself won the Michelin Guide’s Young Chef of the Year award. He has worked in some of the world’s greatest kitchens, from Gastrologik to Quince.

And he has done all of this in record time. Harrison is just 32. At 16, he sold his Xbox to work in a fine dining restaurant. In the 16 years since, he has risen to the top of the industry.

Join us for an open conversation about why so many chefs are jerks, how to give feedback in a Michelin-starred kitchen, how to get hired by your favorite chef (or startup), and how to raise kids who aren’t afraid of risks, what to do when you don't know how to pronounce a dish at a nice restaurant and why you should probably order pizza after you have a fancy meal.
