Show Notes

This week we caught up with Michelin Star Chef Daniel Boulud on location at his newly launched Brasserie Boulud at the Sofitel Obelisk in Dubai. Chef Daniel is heralded as one of the world’s top chefs and has many accolades under his belt including a James Beard Award. He is the author of several books, and possesses a keen business acumen with a portfolio spanning food tech investments and charitable endeavors including ‘Citymeals on Wheels’ where he serves as board co-president. Host Hashem Montasser argues that many great chefs are just that; great chefs and being a Star Chef does not always equate to good business sense. So how does the iconic Daniel Boulud remain at the top of his game and what was the best birthday gift he ever received? Tune in to find out.
