What started as a joke about opening a nightclub turned into a career in the kitchen. Chef Nelson German, the chef behind alaMar and Sobre Mesa in Oakland and Meski in San Francisco, joins The Last 50 Ft to talk about the night at the Copacabana that sent him to culinary school, how Top Chef Season 18 reconnected him with his roots, and the Afro-Latino flavors that define his restaurants.We get into opening Sobre Mesa just ten days before the pandemic shut everything down, partnering with World Central Kitchen to feed laid-off hospitality workers, and why his team is everything. Nelson also shares his new book, Caribbean Cocktails, and what it takes to get great food from his kitchen to your door.
