ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Helen is live from one of Dubai’s most talked-about dining destinations - Akira Back at W Dubai – The Palm - and if you’ve ever wondered how chefs balance fine dining with making people actually feel comfortable and welcome, this is the conversation for you.
Joining her is Chef Giovanni Ledon, Chef de Cuisine at Akira Back. Born and raised in Las Vegas, Chef Gio worked under celebrity chef Bobby Flay before spending seven years refining his skills with Chef Akira Back at Yellowtail in the Bellagio, eventually bringing that modern Japanese cuisine with Korean influence here to Dubai.
