On this episode of the Hot Spot series, Gabriel Ornelas sits down with with chef Franco Sampogna and operator Bernardo Silva, co-owners of FREVO, a contemporary French restaurant hidden behind a small art gallery in Greenwich Village, New York—a secret you'd want to share with everyone.

The name "Frevo" in Portuguese means "to boil," reflecting not only the shared language of the co-owners but also the vibrant energy of New York City. Originally from Brazil and Portugal respectively, Franco and Bernardo crossed paths in their late teens in France, driven by a youthful hunger for knowledge and a passion for the hospitality industry. Franco spent a decade in France, working with culinary legends like Alain Ducasse, Guy Savoy, and Fabrice Vulin, while Bernardo focused on honing his hospitality management skills at esteemed places such as the Shangri-La Hotel in Paris and Hôtel Windsor in Nice.

France served as their training ground and foundation, but New York remained their North Star. After almost a decade in France, Franco and Bernardo made the leap to New York, slowly shaping their dream. Despite the challenges, they opened FREVO, featuring an exquisite tasting menu an intimate 18 counter seats and a table for six.

Tune in as Franco and Bernardo passionately narrate their journey—a tale of friendship, partnership, and the pursuit of their dream against all odds in the bustling city of New York.

In this On The Pass episode, we are joined by Jamila Robinson, a veteran journalist, esteemed leader in food media, and an innovator. Jamila's incredible career has spanned decades, with notable tenures at media organizations such as Atlantic Media, the USA Today Network, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and The Detroit Free Press.

In addition to her editorial roles, Jamila has played pivotal roles in renowned culinary institutions, having chaired the James Beard Foundation’s Journalism Awards Committee and currently serving as an active Academy chair for the World’s 50 Best Restaurants awards.

On The Pass - 36. Manu Buffara: Community Is Key
play

07/07/21 • 58 min

Beaches, caipirinhas, açaí, and the Amazon are probably just a few things that come to mind when Brazil is mentioned, but there is so much more to this diverse nation than our preconceptions. Being Latin America's largest country, it's layered with both international and indigenous influences, history, experiences and cuisine across its different regions. In this episode, we learn about Curitiba through today's guest Manoella “Manu" Buffara, chef-owner of Manu, a restaurant that has singlehandedly put this city on the map and exposed food lovers to its culinary scene. Curitiba, located in the southern part of Brazil, is most sought after for its agricultural biodiversity and farming lands -- something Manu is deeply integrated in. Manu has become known around the globe as a figure that leads by example with her work. Not only has she created a sustainable ecosystem in her restaurant through responsibly sourced products, she's dedicated her time to create farming programs that educate local underserved communities. We talk about her work installing over 4,000 beehives in the region, transformed 89 abandoned sites into urban gardens, and her support of local artisans. In addition, she gives us a glimpse into her 2nd restaurant Ella which is slated to open mid 2022 in Chelsea, NY.

On The Pass - 31. Dan Barber: Chefs Can Save Our Planet
play

04/22/21 • 51 min

Can chefs step up and takeover our broken food system? Chef Dan Barber thinks they can and should. Dan is the Co-owner of Blue Hill and Blue Hill at Stone Barns, author of The New York Times Bestseller "The Third Plate", and Co-Founder of Row 7 Seeds, a company developing and exploring new varieties of vegetables and grains.

We dissect today’s broken food system and take a deeper look at the current state of our farms, how the seeds today have been modified for high yield rather than grown for nutrition, and how his company Row 7 Seeds is looking to combat that by breeding organic seeds that result in maximum nutrition and flavor.

Dan is someone who is deeply committed to the concept that better ingredients means better health for ourselves and for our lands. He also is adamant that chefs can be the vehicle to help change our world. Honest, open, and quite the conversationalist, this episode is not to be missed.

This episode was brought to you by Perrier-Jouët as part of our series to bring sustainability inspired content in celebration of Earth Day. We love their holistic approach to becoming a more sustainable Champagne House, not only in the vineyard but also in production. Perrier-Jouët has reduced their carbon footprint by 55% since 2009, and recently launched the Ecobox, a fully recyclable and sustainably sourced gifting solution made of 100% natural fiber, inspired by the chalky soils of Champagne. Join us in making eco conscious choices and enjoy 15% off the non-vintage Perrier-Jouët Blanc de Blancs EcoBox with code TAOP15 until April 30th. Enjoy, and please drink responsibly.

On The Pass - 30. Anthony Myint: Solution Is In The Soil
play

04/20/21 • 48 min

Can healthy soil save our planet? The short answer is Yes. The long answer is we radically have to rethink how we cultivate and giveback to our farm lands. Our next guest, Anthony Myint, Co-Founder of Mission Chinese Food SF and Zero Foodprint (ZFP), a nonprofit organization building a renewable food system rooted in healthy soil, is taking action to be apart of the daunting solution to a better future. Anthony is the 2019 winner of Basque Culinary World prize and 2020 James Beard Humanitarian Of The Year award winner.

This is an eye opening conversation around where we are today with climate change, getting to the core of the effects from conventional farming, and how the solution to climate change is in healthy soil.

Soils have become one of the most vulnerable resources in the world from the effects of biodiversity loss due to the heavy use of chemicals like fertilizers and pesticides. Carbon farming or Regenerative Farming on the other hand restores soil biology, naturally pulling tons of carbon out of the atmosphere to bring soil back to life and replenishing its nutrients.

Taking this into consideration, ZFP is a platform that engages key players in the food system such as chefs, restaurants, and food companies to participate by adding a few cents per meal to help farmers implement carbon farming projects through grant programs. ZFP members are funding regenerative agriculture projects in CA and CO, and will begin in the Northeastern US later this year, as well as international collaborations in Asia and Europe.

This episode was brought to you by Perrier-Jouët as part of our series to bring sustainability inspired content in celebration of Earth Day. We love their holistic approach to becoming a more sustainable Champagne House, not only in the vineyard but also in production. Perrier-Jouët has reduced their carbon footprint by 55% since 2009, and recently launched the Ecobox, a fully recyclable and sustainably sourced gifting solution made of 100% natural fiber, inspired by the chalky soils of Champagne.

The story of our next guests starts with the late Jess Jackson, a monumental visionary and entrepreneur who built a wine empire around Kendall-Jackson Vintner’s Reserve Chardonnay — catapulting him into the category as one of northern California's most recognizable self-made billionaires.

In the late 1990’s, Mr. Jackson asked Pierre Seillan, a Bordeaux winemaker from France to come to Sonoma, CA to help him realize his dream of creating one of the best wines in the world. Together, they created Vérité wines and subsequently has become one of Sonoma's elite wineries. Today, Vérité is lead by Mr. Jackson's son Chris Jackson, and Pierre's daughter Hélène Seillan, as Assistant Vigneron. Together the two are slated with the responsibility to take Vérité to new heights, having true liberty to blend and curate an exceptional product that reflects Sonoma County.

Listen now as they discuss the beauty of Sonoma County, their respect and admiration for their fathers and the future of this great brand.
