If you're a sushi lover, then you won't want to miss this episode. Hosts George Mahe and Cheryl Baehr chat with acclaimed restaurateur Nick Bognar, the chef/owner of indo, Sado, and a forthcoming dining concept: Pavilion, an omakase experience located in Sado’s renovated courtyard. Slated to open this fall, the concept will offer an omakase-style menu that will feature ever-changing dishes, including nigiri, sashimi, and seasonal ingredients imported from Japan. Hear more about the one-of-a-kind experience from Bognar. Plus, a well-known surprise guest shares a new vegan creation, which came to him in a dream.
