EP 83: Brian Lockwood

<p>Brian Lockwood, Chef-Partner at Midōsuji and Gingie (BOKA Restaurant Group), got his start in restaurants at fourteen, washing dishes to pay off a lawyer after getting into trouble as a kid, and forty-seven years later, he’s still in the kitchen.</p><p>On this episode of <em>Hospitality On The Rise</em>, Brian tells host Alice Cheng how curiosity took him from Gary Danko and The French Laundry to Maui, kitchens across Europe, Eleven Madison Park, and even consulting on FX’s The Bear. He opens up about learning to lead by cooking alongside his team, starting over after a fire closed Gingie just three days after opening, and why staying curious has kept him learning and moving forward through nearly five decades in the industry.</p><p><br></p><p>Links</p><p>- Instagram - Brian Lockwood: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/chefbrianlockwood/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.instagram.com/chefbrianlockwood/</a></p><p>- Instagram - Culinary Agents⁠⁠⁠⁠: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/culinaryagents/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.instagram.com/culinaryagents/</a></p><p>- Full Transcript⁠: <a href="https://hospitalitycareerpaths.com/resources/ep-83-brian-lockwood" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://hospitalitycareerpaths.com/resources/ep-83-brian-lockwood</a></p><p><br></p><p>************</p><p>Remember, success looks different for everyone in hospitality.
