In today's episode, we chat with Connor Fowler, Escoffier graduate, certified sommelier, and rising talent in fine dining.
Connor shares how his culinary education at Escoffier's Boulder campus, where he earned the Curtis Duffy Scholarship, led him from polishing glasses to serving wine at Michelin-recognized restaurants. He discusses his transformative externship in Florence that sparked his passion for wine, his journey through award-winning establishments like Rootstock and Frasca Food & Wine, and how he found himself serving guests the night Frasca received its first Michelin star.
Join us as Connor reflects on the discipline required for fine dining success, the profound impact of losing his father on his career perspective, and how grief became an unexpected motivator in his pursuit of sommelier excellence and meaningful hospitality.
