Phil's Return to Dubai + Finding Your True Culinary Identity As Chef?

🎙️ EP141 – Finding Your Culinary Identity? After a stretch of solo episodes, Eric and Phil are finally back together—and Phil’s got stories. In this episode, he unpacks his new role at the Arts Club in Dubai, from chef’s table tastings to 1,000-cover yacht clubs. The two dive into the sacred simplicity of chuleta, a ridiculously rich pastrami bao, and the croissant sandwich that broke their brains. Then, listener Chef Ryan sparks a big question: how do you find your culinary identity? The conversation veers into authenticity, remix culture, and why your story is your style—even if it’s German, Spanish, and Venezuelan all at once.
