Listen "Kitchen-Life Balance with Ari Schor"
Episode Synopsis
David and Lesley welcome their second guest, a Joe Beef alum who opened his own spot in 2019 and has since been ranked among Canada's top chefs. Ari Schor, co-owner of Montréal's Beba restaurant, opens up to the hosts about challenges that chefs face in maintaining work-life balance and systemic changes he's made to improve his team's quality of life. While David is uncomfortable with the idea of having protégés, Ari is grateful for the mentorship; the Argentenian-born restaurateur emphasizes the importance of quality market ingredients and prefers serving them in a cozy, intimate setting. The conversation was recorded a few days before the Michelin Guide for Québec was released, where Ari earned a recommendation but not, perhaps controversially, a star. Next time on Salt Lick: David and Lesley break down the Michelin results and the discussions that have resulted. Follow Ari, David & Lesley on Instagram. Salt Lick is a TNKR Media Original Production.
