Chris Viaud, a James Beard Award semifinalist & Top Chef Alumni, is the chef and owner of Greenleaf and Ansanm, both located in Milford NH, Pavilion located in Wolfeboro NH which are all restaurants under his hospitality company Northern Comfort Dining Group.
Chris has recently begun focusing a lot more of his time and energy into the exploration of his Haitian Heritage, including finding new ways to introduce and educate communities around the beauty of Haitian cuisine and culture.
He continues to challenge himself by pushing the boundaries and constantly taking himself out of his comfort zone by exploring new ideas, styles, trends and concepts to keep fueling his passion and believes that everyday there is the opportunity to learn something new.
Together we talk about the challenges he faced and the growth he experienced in opening and running multiple restaurants. He offers advice for those starting out in the culinary industry and emphasizes the need for continuous learning and staying humble enough to take in new information and learn from others in the industry.
