OM DENNE EPISODE
Chef Michael Cimarusti just did something only a handful of chefs in the world ever will: his Los Angeles restaurant, Providence, earned three Michelin stars. Plus it also holds a Green Star for its commitment to sustainability. Only 38 restaurants in the world can make that claim.
Since opening in 2005, Providence has become a cornerstone of Los Angeles dining, celebrated for its devotion to seafood, stewardship of the ocean, and a culture of mentorship that has shaped a generation of chefs.
In this conversation, Antonio talks to Michael about the twenty-year journey of Providence, the responsibility of earning three stars, and the lessons Michael has learned about legacy, mentorship, and growth.
