Top Chefs Discuss Gulf Oil Crisis

Chef John Besh, with his six New Orleans restaurants, talks about the Gulf crisis from a chef’s perspective in the video that follows.

Other chefs, including the new Top Chef Master, Marcus Samuelsson, and the Voltaggio brothers, give their thoughts on what will happen to American seafood and how difficult it will be to rebuild.

One message from these chefs, who are speaking from the Aspen Food And Wine Classic, is that chefs have never before been so in touch with where their seafood is coming from. And they will continue to order as much as they can for as long as they can to support the Gulf’s seafood industry.
