Getting Caught Up | Matt Ridgway episode

World-class chef Matt Ridgway talks about his culinary career, including working as chef de cuisine during the high-profile relaunch of The Oak Room in NYC's iconic Plaza Hotel in 2007-2009, opening his own restaurant, The Pass, in New Jersey, and working and living in places like New York City, Atlanta and New Orleans to follow his dreams. He also recounts a near-death experience he and his wife endured, and explains how they are lucky to be alive and how the experience changed their lives. Matt also discusses the depiction of the restaurant business in the media and why he thinks one TV show stands above all others in accurately capturing what it's like to be a professional chef.
