08: Jason McLeod is a Canadian San Diego chef who has actually earned a Michelin Star or TWO in his career. I knew I wanted to interview Jason right when I had the idea to start this podcast. Some of his notable San Diego restaurants are Craft & Commerce, Born & Raised, Ironside, Morning Glory Cafe, to name a few. We dive into how someone who is so seasoned in his industry and craft, was still thrown a huge curveball with COVID and what he is doing to stay safe in his restaurants, but also afloat.
In our conversation, we discuss:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Moving 500 miles from his hometown to work as a dishwasher in Banff ski resort Moving up the ranks to become a chef for major hotel chains Becoming a partner with Consortium Holdings and building over 10 restaurants Creating the first full service, seafood focused restaurant based on the history of San Diego fishing Realizing the end of a restaurant concept and transitioning it to meet the needs of customers
Drink of the Week:
A non-alcoholic Iced Mocha haha (listen to the intro)
