Connections: Chef Art Rogers

The Oscars of the culinary world are the James Beard Awards, and for the first time, a Rochester chef is nominated in the category of Best Chef Northeast. This is a remarkable achievement; most of the time, Beard winners come from big cities with more recognized dining scenes. We'll talk about the restaurant scene in Rochester, and how our guest, Lento's Art Rogers, helped change the entire approach to presenting food in western New York.
