This week on the Moment, Brian talks to Gabrielle Hamilton, chef and owner of the classic New York City restaurant Prune and author of the New York Times best-selling memoir Blood, Bones, and Butter: The Inadvertent Education of a Reluctant Chef. Gabrielle talks about why irony is the enemy in modern cooking (5:30), how her abbreviated childhood shaped her personality and career (15:00), and why she doesn’t hold any philosophy about food (24:00). Plus, Brian and Gabrielle discuss whether she’s aware of the nostalgic dining experience she’s creating for people (34:00) and why she doesn’t think taste is subjective (40:00).
