Anna Wintour asked him to be in charge of food at the Met Gala in 2025, he just opened a new restaurant in Washington, and his 2-year-old establishment, Tatiana, is one of the hottest reservations in New York City. There's no better time to listen back to learn where this food-fashion-brand-savvy creative powerhouse came from and how his roots inform his work. Get to know Chef Kwame Onwuachi. Before he competed, and then judged, Top Chef; before he won accolades from James Beard and Food & Wine, and before publishing his first cookbook, Kwame Onwuachi was an aspiring kid from the Bronx, trying to figure out the unspoken rules of class and access. All this while integrating what he learned during a couple of pre-teen years in Nigeria. We begin with \"Chapter 1: Made to Order,\" and continue the journey from there.
