The Southern Fork


Apr 1, 2016

Chefs Jeff McInnis and Janine Booth are as attractive in person as they were on Top Chef Seasons 5 and 11, respectively.  But these two are much more than good looking people you once saw on TV. Well-beyond their quick-fire challenge days, they are in the midst of some real-life challenges of their own: running restaurants in two of the most demanding markets in the country, NYC and Miami. Partners in the kitchen (and at home) of both Root & Bone and the just-opened Sarsaparilla Club in Miami, they serve Southern comfort food (and some award-winning fried chicken) in NYC while their Miami hotspot is creates a twist on the dim sum experience with a comfort food bent. We hang with their dog, Baci, and begin to break down the biz of what happens when Southern food meets new audiences and new cooking methods.
