On this episode of Ingredient Insiders, hosts John and Andrea from Chef’s Warehouse welcome Chef Tavel Bristol-Joseph, Pastry Chef and Owner of Emmer & Rye Hospitality, for a conversation about creativity, travel, and the pursuit of a lasting culinary legacy.

The featured ingredient of the episode is matcha, an ingredient Tavel has developed a deep appreciation for. Tavel shares what draws him to matcha, how he uses it in his cooking and pastry work, and what makes its flavor so distinctive and versatile.

Tavel also reflects on his travels to Japan, exploring the food, culture, and experiences that have influenced his approach to cooking. He takes listeners through his own culinary journey and career, discussing the experiences that shaped him as a chef and the lessons he's learned along the way.

At the heart of the conversation is a question that goes beyond food: What kind of legacy do you want to leave behind? Tavel shares his vision for the future and his desire to create an impact that extends beyond the dishes he creates and the restaurants he operates.

From the traditions of Japan to the creative possibilities of matcha, this episode is an inspiring conversation about curiosity, craftsmanship, and building something that lasts.
