About this Event
Join us in Toronto, Canada at Propeller Coffee Co. for Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts’ The Ultimate Dish podcast, recorded before a LIVE, in-person audience for the first time ever!
Emmy-nominated Top Chef host and New York Times bestselling author Kristen Kish sits down with Escoffier Campus President and Provost Kirk Bachmann for an unfiltered conversation about building a modern culinary career.
They’ll touch on Kristen’s memoir Accidentally on Purpose and her path from culinary school to Top Chef winner and entrepreneur — exploring the risks, reinventions, and turning points that shaped her journey.
Kirk will share how flexible online culinary training works and why it is opening new pathways for working professionals across Canada and beyond. As Escoffier’s Chef-in-Residence, Kristen will also offer her perspective on today’s culinary students and what the next generation of chefs may need to succeed.
