Chef Kris Huseby of The Gibson Room on revamping a restaurant menu, leading young chefs, passing on kitchen wisdom

Kris Huseby was one of our first guests on Pan Con Podcast back in 2019. His second appearance comes just after the opening of Ariete Hospitality Group’s newest concept, The Gibson Room, where Kris is the executive chef.

In this conversation with Mike Beltrán, the two talk about taking over a restaurant and overhauling it (a first for Ariete Hospitality Group), Kris’ experience settling into his first executive chef role, leading young talent, the fulfillment that comes from teaching skills to the next generation of cooks, and what it’s like to helm a new concept within a company that’s just earned a Michelin Star and a Bib Gourmand at two of its other restaurants.

In the Patreon-exclusive extended cut’s lightning round, things get extra ridiculous as Mike and Kris fall into a heated debate about croissants, bagels, pastelitos, and doughnuts.
