FAST FIVE WITH CHEF JOSH
Q. What’s your first memory of your love for cooking? A. My first memories of cooking were with my maternal grandmother on the family farm making fried chicken, beef stew and cinnamon rolls. She cooked for all the ranch hands and only had recipes for 30 people. We always had a lot of leftovers – well, not so much on the cinnamon rolls.
Q. Describe your style in two to three words. A. Deconstruction – Reconstruction. I love taking classic dishes from around the world, taking the flavors and ingredients, and putting my own “contemporary spin” on them. I call it contemporary regional cuisine.
Q. What five ingredients are necessary in your kitchen? A. Talking to chefs about ingredients or asking “what is your favorite thing to cook” is like asking a painter what their favorite color is. It is the palate that makes the world beautiful. Now that I have said that, I love fat. Butter, Cream, Olive Oil, Bacon, and Cheese. They make everything else taste wonderful.
Josh Goetz Executive Chef
Q. What would you have as your last meal? A. Honestly, a shot of good bourbon.
Q. 3 things you consider to be your cooking strengths. A. Teamwork, respect for staff and ingredients. Restaurant cooking cannot be done by yourself and it takes a great team to be great. Personally, for cooking I love braises. A good, braised joint of meat or a simmering Tuscan Ragu is all I need to put a smile on someone’s face.
BONUS: If you could prepare a meal for anyone, who would it be and what would you make? A. Great question, I would cook for my grandmother again. She would get a kick out of what I have become.
