Description

On this week’s episode of The Sauce, award-winning chef Nick Bognar joins us to talk about his three acclaimed restaurants—Indo, Sado, and Pavilion—and how each represents a different side of his cooking.

In this episode:

• How Nick’s Thai family traditions shape Indo’s contemporary Asian fine dining
• What to expect from Sado’s sushi program (and why balance beats bravado at the bar)
• Pavilion’s ambitious two-hour, 18-course omakase experience
• Signature dishes: Indo’s palm sugar ribs + Sado’s grilled short rib yakitori
• How his team keeps menus fresh with new spaces like Indo’s sunroom and happy hours

Recognition highlights:

• James Beard Award semifinalist, Rising Star Chef of the Year
• Best New Restaurant nominations for both Indo and Sado
• National press from GQ and Esquire
