This is an interview Stir the Pots did in 2006, not long after we started out. At the time, Brad Farmerie was making a name as the force guiding the food at the terrific New York City restaurant Public. Now years later, Brad is working in London, helping lead one of the world great cooking schools, Le Cordon Bleu. But over a decade ago, he welcomed me into his kitchen for an interview, which I conducted on one of the original iPods. We discussed critics, fusion, and… “meat glue.” Listen and enjoy.
