What this episode covers

Daniel Humm, owner and executive chef of Eleven Madison Park, explains his journey from a competitive cyclist to running the world's number one restaurant, and his decision to pivot to an entirely plant-based menu. He details the financial devastation of the 2008 recession and the pandemic, which forced the restaurant to operate at a loss and face potential bankruptcy. Humm describes how converting the kitchen into a commissary to serve over one million meals to New Yorkers during the lockdown reshaped his philosophy on food, sustainability, and the restaurant's mission.
