ОТНОСТНО ТОЗИ ЕПИЗОД
Today’s guest, Katie Button is a five-time James Beard Foundation award nominated chef, cookbook author, media personality, and founder of Asheville-based restaurants Cúrate and La Bodega by Cúrate. The restaurant group also includes an online marketplace, Cúrate at Home, a wine club and culinary tour company called Cúrate Trips, designed to connect people with the Spanish experience.
Katie earned a Master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering, but her passion for food and travel ultimately guided her towards a career in the food world. Though immersed in the industry at a young age, she ultimately honed her craft in the kitchens of some of the world’s best chefs, most notably Ferran Adrià and José Andrés. This experience guided her to her own success as a restaurateur, Button Meana Group founder, and Cúrate lifestyle brands.
Today, Button Meana Group houses Katie Button Media and Magnolia Network’s From The Source, a series exploring the origins and stories behind different ingredients. Katie’s bread and butter, however, are the Button Meana Group-owned Cúrate Brands: Cúrate Trips, Cúrate at Home and Cúrate Wine Club, as well as two restaurants, La Bodega by Cúrate and Cúrate Bar de Tapas, which won the James Beard Foundation Outstanding Hospitality award in 2022. In 2016, Katie also released her first cookbook, Cúrate: Authentic Spanish Food from an American Kitchen.
