Chef Paul Carmichael

from Happy Hour with Ina Garten

This week, Ina chats with Chef Paul Carmichael, whose restaurant, Kabawa, has been ranked the number one restaurant in NYC by The New York Times, and named the number one restaurant in America by Food and Wine Magazine. They talk about how he started cooking at the age of three, his Caribbean heritage, and why the music in a restaurant bathroom is one of the most important decisions you can make. Beloved hostess Ina Garten welcomes listeners into her New York City apartment for Happy Hour with Ina Garten. Every Wednesday, she sits down with people she’d like to meet from the worlds of culture, food, art, sports, and entertainment for the kinds of conversations you would love to overhear at a great dinner party. Warm, funny, personal, and often unexpected, Happy Hour mixes in-depth conversation with stories, recipes, and, of course, cocktails. Pull up a chair, pour yourself a drink, and join the conversation.
