About this listen

In an industry that idolizes the “next young gun” and often rewards stamina over longevity, chef Dan Jacobs is pushing back and redefining what it means to be a chef. Jacobs, the co-owner of DanDan and EsterEv and runner-up on “Top Chef: Wisconsin,” opens up about navigating the kitchen after being diagnosed with Kennedy’s Disease, redefining leadership beyond the line, and how chefs can evolve as they age without walking away from the craft.
