Chef Michel Nischan is a good friend of mine who reminds me that part of being a great chef is recognizing your responsibility to the community as a whole, not just to the people who can afford to dine out in your restaurants.

WHOLESOME WAVE
Chef Michel Nischan’s Wholesome Wave program doubles the value of food stamps for purchases of locally-grown produce, making sure that fresh and healthy food gets to the people who need it most. We just brought it to Miami. He's inspired me to be a better chef.

FUDGE FARMS PORK
The small, family operations we support are all inspirational in one way or another. It's mostly their commitment to their products, like Henry Fudge of his Fudge Farms pork. He's borderline fanatical, and that's what makes his pork chops taste so good. He makes my job easy!

THAI EGGPLANT
Thai eggplant we've been getting all summer long from Patrick Panton of East End Garden in Grand Cayman. The little, striped green bulb is so sweet and without the tough skin and bitterness of the supermarket variety. Thomas, my chef de cuisine down there, is doing it as a side with pine nuts, raisins, bell pepper, and Thai basil.
