Welcome back to The Food For ThoughtCast! You're just in time for episode 141, which just happens to be the premiere of Season 4. Whether you're listening for the first time, or have been with us since the beginning, we are so glad you are here. Food fans, buckle up- because today you're going to learn that Milwaukee is a serious food city. Join us as we talk to Chef Gregory León, from Amilinda. Chef León is a two-time James Beard Award finalist for Best Chef: Midwest (2022, 2023) and a two – time semifinalist for Outstanding Chef (2024, 2025). Central to his leadership is a philosophy that challenges traditional kitchen hierarchies. One long-standing "rule" he intentionally breaks is the notion that the Executive Chef should be the sole creative voice behind the menu. We talk about the incredible connections Amilinda has to the city, including its fundraising efforts, and dive deep into the flavors and inspiration behind the ever-changing menu. Melissa and Steve had a blast getting to know Chef Greg, and you will too. Don't forget to rate, review, subscribe, and share with a friend!
