#141 - To Hell's Kitchen and Back with Chef Johnathan Benvenuti

My guest this episode is truly a wonderful person, and chef. He recently shot into the stratosphere of stardom after a stellar season on the critically acclaimed show, Hell's Kitchen. Nestled in a bustling Long Beach food oasis sits Bar Becky, and at its helm, Chef Johnathan Benvenuti. The chef joins the show to discuss his time on the show, the fame that comes following it, his family-inspired menu, and how Bar Becky came to be. This is a very heartfelt episode, and one I am, as always, very proud of. Enjoy.The Best Ceats Podcast brings unprecedented access to the Orange County hospitality industry each and every episode.
