Mike Colameco's Real Food MAREA

In 2008 during the great financial meltdown, one of the worst years to open a luxe restaurant in New York City, Chef Michael White, his then partner Chris Cannon and financial backer Ahmass Fakahany formed the AltaMarea group and opened Marea showcasing seafood and pasta done the Italian way. Within months they earned 3 stars from The New York Times followed by 2 Michelin Stars succeeding against long odds in creating one of the top seafood restaurants anywhere.

I really love this episode. Mike talks and I love love love hearing Mike talk because he’s the rare breed of journalist/ food professional/ human who talks a lot but it’s never without purpose or without bringing something interesting forward … BUT Michael White is really that kind of guy too and has that big presence that WANTS to talk about the food and his ideas so it’s quite amazing to see him taking over in the demo. But it’s never a pudding contest it’s just about explaining why, how and what’s going on. Love it. I’m in the U.K. and I wish I’d found out about this show sooner. The best cooking show in my opinion.
