Meet the Chef and now author, Douglas Keane, behind the captivating book Culinary Leverage - A Journey Through the Heat.
“The book is about what society has done to chefs, turning them into rock stars [so that the] leverage that we have then can be abused or used for good,” says Chef Keane.
Chef Keane is the owner behind Michelin Starred Cyrus Restaurant in Geyserville, California. At Cyrus 2.0 he has created a very special, one of a kind restaurant.
Chef Douglas Keane, is the featured Chef at Vines, Views & Vibes at The Archer Hotel, Napa on Thursday June 26. Chef Keane will create an inspired signature dish for the event. Thanks to the generosity of our friends at Sonoma Valley Authors Festival, Chef Keane will sign a copy of Culinary Leverage for everyone in attendance!
Keane has been named Chef of the Year in both Esquire and San Francisco Magazine, Top Chef Pacific in the James Beard Awards, winner of Top Chef Masters, and his restaurant has earned 2 Michelin Stars.
I talked to him recently about his culinary journey from New York to Wine Country as well as his highs and his lows. Doug is a Chef whose cuisine you want to devour and a guy you also want to have a pint with. Enjoy my warts and all interview with Author and Chef Douglas Keane below:
