Eat It Up #98: Chef Chris Daigler

This week on the podcast is Chris Daigler, the Executive Chef of Encore Restaurant and Bar. My first encounter with Chris was watching him compete against Chef Adam Goetz in Nickel City Chef XIX last year at Artisan Kitchens and Baths. It was my first Nickel City Chef competition and Chris really pulled out all the stops. Over the last two years we’ve gotten to know Chris a little better and finally got him to stop by the podcast studio.
