Episode 1
Chefs Larry and Marc Forgione: the most notable father/son chef “duo” in America (S9/Ep.01)
Larry Forgione is considered “the godfather” of American cuisine and is largely responsible for changing the way Americans eat, beginning the entire “Farm-to-Table” movement.
Marc Forgione is the acclaimed chef and owner of NYC restaurants Peasant, Restaurant Marc Forgione, and One Fifth. He is the youngest American born chef to ever receive a Michelin star and also the winner of “Iron Chef” Season 3.
In this episode, we discuss:
- What it was like being Larry Forgione’s son as a young cook in the early 2000’s
- The moment Marc knew he was ready to open his own restaurant
- How Larry came to coin the term “free-range”
- Advice for other “duos” + more!
The Forgiones are incredibly philanthropic. Larry is co-founder of NYC Citymeals on Wheels Chefs’ Tribute event, and Marc works with organizations such as Cookies For Kids’ Cancer and City Harvest. Enjoy this episode as we go Beyond the Plate… with Chefs Larry and Marc Forgione.
