FYI’s “The Chef’s Garden” welcomes Miami chef Bradley Kilgore this Monday, as he searches for the perfect cucumber to inspire his innovative culinary creations. Kilgore’s visit to The Chef’s Garden isn’t just about sourcing ingredients; it’s about discovering the potential within each vegetable, pushing the boundaries of flavor and presentation.
Known for his modern techniques, Kilgore embraces the challenge of highlighting the inherent qualities of fresh produce. His focus on cucumbers leads him to craft two unique dishes: a sashimi creation that highlights the cucumber’s clean, refreshing taste, and a martini that reimagines the classic cocktail with a farm-fresh twist.
“The Chef’s Garden” provides a glimpse into the relationship between chefs and the source of their inspiration. The episode follows Kilgore as he explores the farm, interacts with Farmer Lee Jones, and draws inspiration from the land. This connection between farm and table is at the heart of the series, emphasizing the importance of sustainable agriculture and the unique flavors that come from working with fresh, seasonal produce.
“The Chef’s Garden” airs Mondays at 7/6c on FYI.
