Welcome back to The Perfect Bite podcast, your fusion of food and entrepreneurship. Our guest this episode is a renaissance person of all kinds, from the plate, to the studio, to your screens. Chef Ed Porter is a fine-dining-trained chef who also is an accomplished hip hop artist, and now, a documentary film director with his newest film, “The Food That Fuels”. You might recognize Chef Ed from his stint on Netflix’s “Pressure Cooker” or Food Network’s “Guy’s Grocery Games”!
A born-and-bred New Yorker, Chef Ed infuses culture and intention into everything he does. We talk about his days at the famed, Michelin-starred Aquavit, and how he found his way to something that was completely his own, coining the term “bicoastal cuisine” when he moved out to the Bay Area. From there, Chef Ed’s passion for storytelling and finding the “why” at the heart of everything grew, and his two sides—chef and creative—finally combined into the work he does today.
