Episode 33: Timothy Hollingsworth

Published: June 2, 2018, 12:54 a.m.

In New York City, Andrew\u2019s irked at the angle a restaurant critic adopted to review his book Chefs, Drugs, and Rock & Roll in the New York Times. After he and Caitlin hash that out, we cut to a much happier scene: sun-drenched Los Angeles, where Andrew recently sat down with the super-talented Chef Timothy Hollingsworth of Otium restaurant, and before that, chef de cuisine of The French Laundry. Andrew and Tim have some history: Tim was the main character in Andrew\u2019s book about the Bocuse d\u2019Or competition in which Tim competed back in 2009. The two of them kick around Tim\u2019s unique life and career (he spent most of his formative years\u2014more than a decade\u2014working at The French Laundry), his feelings about LA\u2019s food scene, and other topics of life and work. An intimate conversation recorded in Tim\u2019s LA home a few Saturdays ago. \n\nHere\u2019s a thought: If you like what you hear, please tell your chef-fascinated friends, subscribe to Andrew Talks to Chefs (it\u2019s free) on iTunes or Stitcher, follow us on your favorite social media platforms @ChefPodcast, and/or rate or review us on Apple\u2019s podcast store.
