12. Featured Chef to Know: Adam Schop of Nuela - New York, NY
43 West 24th Street
New York, NY 10010
Restaurant Email: amike80@hotmail.com
CHEF FACTS
Born: 1975
Cusine: Coastal-inspired Latin cuisine
Began Career: 1991
Culinary School: The Culinary Institute of America, Hyde Park, NY
Work History: Scottsdale, AZ: Zinc Bistro, Michael's at the Citadel, Lon's at the Hermosa Inn; Chicago, IL: De La Costa
Mentor(s): Michael De Maria, Matt Carter, Christopher Gross, Douglas Rodriguez, James McDevitt, Bob Lynn
Affiliations: We do a lot of charity events.
NOTABLE DISH(ES):
Salmon Belly Quiche with Key Lime, Horseradish, Green Apple, and Sage Salt
FAST FACTS
Restaurant Recs: Hot Doug's, but be sure to call. He's closed like every 14th day.
Kitchen Tool(s): Vita-Prep
Interview Question: I ask them what their favorite meal was. Were they paying attention? Do they have a favorite meal? Is it in line with what I think their favorite meal should be? If they can talk about 14 courses that they ate, then you can get a clue about who they are and what they're into.
Flavor Combo(s): I like grapefruit, duck fat, and artichokes (or fava beans).
Fave Cookbook(s): French Laundry Cook Book by Thomas Keller
Chef to Cook for You: Daniel Boulud-the stuff he cooks on after dark is awesome. He makes great ingredient-driven cuisine with a high level of execution.
Culinary Travel: Spain-I love what they're doing, not just in the high-concept places, but just going to La Boqueria in Spain and sitting at the Pintxo bar and having chipirones and pulpo at 10am, then a coconut drink at the juice bar and some ham - seeing produce at that level is amazing. The monkfish is perfectly white and the razor clams are impeccable. When we get them here, we have to send 30 percent of them back.
