This week, we’re joined by a chef who’s made reinvention his signature — building, breaking, and reshaping what fine dining can be.
Chef Dave Beran joins us from Seline, his most personal project yet. A restaurant named after his daughter, rooted in emotion, intention, and the culmination of a lifetime in kitchens. We talk about what it means to truly start over, the evolving landscape of fine dining in Los Angeles, and how becoming a father has transformed the way he cooks, leads, and creates.
From cookbook walls to mood boards, from training actors for The Bear to chasing originality over comfort — Dave opens up about legacy, vulnerability, and why food should make you feel something.
