This episode of The Blackberry Podcast was filmed in front of a live audience during Masters of Craft, a special event at Blackberry Farm that welcomed John Shields and Karen Urie Shields as guest chefs. Host Sarah Chabot sat down with Cassidee Dabney, executive chef of The Barn at Blackberry Farm®, to interview John and Karen about their culinary journeys, going from beginning individual careers in the kitchen to owning and operating a three Michelin star restaurant recently named the number one restaurant in North America by World’s 50 Best. As the creative forces behind both Smyth and The Loyalist in Chicago, John and Karen are known for an innovative approach to seasonal fine dining and their exceptional culinary artistry, and they share about creating an atmosphere that encourages creativity and excellence in the industry. In this conversation, the group connects on the impact of hospitality and the memories made through sharing a great meal.
