Straight From Crooklyn: From Ft. Greene to St. Martin. The Incredible Journey of Chef Michelangelo Wescott.

26 Apr 2021

Description

MJ’s guest this week is Chef Michelangelo Wescott. He is the chef and owner of Gypsy Apple Bistro, a French inspired restaurant located in the foothills of the Berkshires in Western Massachusetts. They were listed as one of Eater’s 38 most important restaurants in New England. Born in Fort Greene, Brooklyn in the early 70s, he and his brother were raised by their parents (both immigrants) in a community surrounded by food culture. In 2016 he overcame a battle with stomach cancer and is currently on a major upswing from a rare tick-bourne blood infection. Chef and MJ have been friends for years. In this lively, overdue reunion they discuss everything from Chef’s  beginnings in Fort Greene, BK to his many cooking jobs and the often larger than life characters that have shaped his career.  There is passionate, real talk about racism, bingeable Hulu recommendations and inspirational tales of triumph over adversity.  So “do the right thing” and take a listen!  A huge thank you to Chef Wescott!Follow him on IG @chefwescottCheck out his acclaimed restaurant Gypsy Apple Bistro at: https://www.gypsyapplebistro.com/ Follow Gypsy Apple Bistro @gypsyapplebistroThis episode’s in studio wine:Robert Biale VineyardsZinfandelBlack Chicken Napa Valley, 2007___________________________________________________________________Until next time, cheers to the mavericks, philosophers, deep thinkers and wine drinkers! Don’t forget to subscribe and be sure to give The Black Wine Guy Experience a five-star review on whichever platform you listen to.For insider info from MJ and exclusive content from the show sign up at Blackwineguy.comFollow MJ @blackwineguy Thank you to our sponsor Wine Spies!
