Greg Prochel presides over one of the hottest kitchens of 2018 at his Ferris Restaurant in New York City. Greg and Andrew borrowed a room in MADE, the hotel that houses the restaurant, and interviewed there recently, going over Greg's early life and career (he switched from finance), stints at Eleven Madison Park and Blanca, and eventually his own chef gig at Le Turtle and now Ferris. In addition to how his distinct style evolved, Greg shares his personal thoughts on everything from kitchen management to his workout scheudule to his love of music in and out of the kitchen.
