In this episode, we present Nate Barker, a chef and restaurateur whose formative years in Warren, Ohio, were distinctly marked by a simplicity of palate — he hadn't tried salad dressing until he was 18. Now, at the helm of West & Main Restaurant, his culinary journey reflects a remarkable transformation from his conservative gastronomic beginnings to the dynamic flavors he now champions.
Our discussion with Nate will cover:
- The pivot of aspiration: from law to culinary arts
- The moments that shaped his career choices
- The influence of family and life experiences on his professional direction
- And his latest venture
- Japanese culture and its impact on him
- Nate's One Word
So press play, listen, learn, and have a few laughs. Ladies and gentlemen, Sound United Presents Nate Barker!
