One of my main goals in starting Behind the Pass was to learn as much as possible about the culinary arts and the food industry. The most obvious way to do this would be speaking to people that are involved, and documenting my conversations. Below, you’ll find the interviews I’ve been able to conduct, and I plan to keep adding to this list of brilliant chefs and other members of the culinary world.
