Chef Andres Kaifer of Customshop in Charlotte on taking over and making change at a restaurant
Chef Andrés Kaifer recently took over Charlotte, North Carolina's Customshop. The restaurant had been around for about 15 years — a feat, to be sure. But Andrés has helped make it one of the best — if not the best — restaurants in Charlotte. In this conversation with Mike Beltrán, Andrés talks about what it's been like to adapt to North Carolina's food culture as a Miami native, how North Carolina's cities are distinct from one another, and the challenges he's faced while implementing major changes at a longstanding restaurant.
In addition, Andrés and Mike talk about their experiences executing a collaboration dinner at Customshop and prepping for one at The Gibson Room (this episode was recorded the night before that Gibson Room dinner in Miami).
