We welcome the incredible Chef Junior Borges from the first modern Brazilian restaurant Meridian in Dallas. It was the first in the country at the time of their opening. We learn all about his rise to fame with lots of really hard, hard work. His journey started in New York 6 weeks after 9/11 at Sounds Of Brazil "SOB". John Legend played there weekly. He then moved to the famous unique Diner Restaurant in Brooklyn New York. When the New York Times wrote about the restaurant it changed the Brooklyn Dining Scene. Central Market hired him and flew him all over the country to do cooking classes. While in Austin he went to eat at Uchi and when the owners found out he was there they hired him on the spot and he started Uchi in Dallas which was everyone's favorite sushi restaurant. From there he went to FT 33 and then managing the Jewel Hotel. Today he is proud to be the executive Chef at Meridian and he praises his amazing team for the high accolades the restaurant has had from the start. Chef Junior is hoping that the Michelin Guide will come to Texas and honor the Meridian with a Michelin Star. We talk about the heated energy in the kitchen with some Chef's going unhinged. GOSSIP SEGMENT: We learn how super small on a National Level the Chef community is and sometimes there is gossip within their community. We learn about Thomas Keller who is the Godfather of American Cuisine, the Chef of French Laundry and the only American Chef with 2, 3 Michelin Stars. We also learn about Chef Rodman Shields with Milkshake Concepts. QUESTION OF THE DAY: Would you marry someone who is bisexual? Have a blessed day,
