This week on Chefs Without Restaurants I speak with Ryan Gray and Janice Tiefenbach of Elena, Gia, and Nora Gray restaurants in Montreal. They recently released a cookbook called Salad Pizza Wine. During our conversation, Ryan and Janice shared their insights on the evolving Montreal food scene and how they've embraced change in their own establishments. We discuss the importance of cultivating a healthy restaurant culture for both staff and customers, emphasizing the crucial role of leadership.
Discover what it means for them to embrace local ingredients in running a pizzeria in Montreal. Instead of relying on imported ingredients from Italy, they made the decision to explore and support local sources.
Naturally, we also discussed their new cookbook, delving into pizza-making, hoagies, and the world of natural wine.
