WNY CHEFS
Gone are the days when chefs were hidden in the background, toiling away in the kitchen while diners took their skills for granted. Now, we choose a restaurant because of its chef. This month Spree talks to some of the greats of Buffalo food, the purveyors of splendid sushi and sumptuous steaks, the geniuses behind Daniel’s, Hutch’s, Torches, and other local cathedrals of cuisine. Where do they like to eat? What do they love to cook? And just how does one go about becoming a top chef, anyway? These answers and more have been prepared and served for your reading pleasure.
