Do you ever dream about traveling abroad to work and train in some of the world's best kitchens? Do you ever wonder if it would be worth it? If so, this is the episode for you, because once you listen to Chef Andrew Carmellini talk about the value of being there versus looking at social media or even a book, you'll understand why it's worth the effort. There is simply no substitute for the real thing, and being able to be present with the food that's being made in these kitchens is truly the only way you're going to fully comprehend what's being served.

Chef Carmellini took zero shortcuts in his career and did not even take a chef position until his 30s, after he had worked in Italy and France for some of the best chefs in the world, and even then, he would take annual pilgrimages to stay fresh and inspired.

His passion for cooking, as well as his dedication to the craft, made him one of the best chefs of his generation, but hear him talk about how he has evolved his leadership style as the expectations of a chef have changed over the years.
