⚡️OUT NOW⚡️Curtis Duffy (Chef)

On this episode we’ve cooked up a great interview with Michelin-starred chef, restaurateur, and rad dad Curtis Duffy, owner of world renowned Chicago restaurant Ever, cocktail lounge After, and versatile event space The Canvas. Curtis was also the subject of For Grace, a Netflix documentary about his previous restaurant, Grace. On top of that, FX’s wildly popular show “The Bear” is loosely based on his life story, and has even been shot on location at Ever. 🎥

Curtis is a rad dad to 4 children, and he stopped by The Rad Dads Show in the lead up to the release of his new memoir 🔥 FIREPROOF 🔥 cowritten with Jeremy Wagner. It tells Curtis’ story of culinary and personal success against all odds - namely a traumatic childhood that culminated in the tragic and violent loss of his parents when he was just 19.

Curtis and Brett dove into the book, and also discussed:
▪️Curtis’ focus on being health conscious
▪️why “balance” doesn’t work
▪️our kids being sponges
▪️instilling the importance of passion in our kids
▪️father figures who shaped Curtis as a man and as a chef
▪️how the book has provided him closure
▪️Curtis’ guilty food pleasures
▪️…and more!

🔥 FIREPROOF: Memoir of a Chef 🔥 is out August 5. Go pre-order from now at the links in our bio!
