chefs

As we’ve mentioned recently, we’re heading to Vietnam next week to travel with four chefs of varying culinary and geographical backgrounds: Edward Lee (610 Magnolia in Louisville), Stuart Brioza (State Bird Provisions in San Francisco), Paul Qui (Qui in Austin) and Bryan Caswell (Reef in Houston). We’ll be traveling around to learn all about fish sauce and eat as much banh xeo and bun cha as possible.

Know what's a surefire way to knock out an impressive dish? Steal it from a celebrity chef — we do it all the time. Well, not steal. We ask permission, nicely, from their publishers, and as a result of that hard work we'd like to offer you 5 awesome celebrity chefs' recipes for fish we've used to our advantage.

Major congratulations to Bocuse D'Or Team USA for placing 7th in this year's competition in Lyon, just short of their 6th place win in 2009 (their highest ranking to-date). We're proud to have followed this year's competitors, Chef Richard Rosendale, head coach Gavin Kaysen and Commis Corey Siegel as they prepared for the big day.
