Kitchen Curiosities with Chef Cesar of Lexington Brass

We loved our time at Lexington Brass and getting to interview Chef Cesar Gutierrez. Watch our Kitchen Curiosities conversation and learn about his time at C-CAP (he’s a graduate-a true honor), Daniel Boulud as his mentor, his thoughts on becoming a chef and his very famous rice chips and how they came about! Chef Cesar is very nice and passionate about what he does. He grew up around unique foods and shares that with his guests at Lexington Brass in NYC. Chef Cesar has delicious dishes on his menu. We were thankful to try his goat cheese beignets, his rice and squid ink chips, tuna tartar tacos, beet ravioli, and salmon with cured beet and mango slices. Lyla and I had an extraordinary time with Chef Cesar, hearing about his experiences and food background. And, he gave us a bottle of Lexington Brass Olive Oil he developed which we love!  We hope you enjoy our video interview and photos of our dishes and time at Lexington Brass.
