Greg Baxtrom, Chef and Owner of Baxtrom Hospitality Group, shares a deeply personal look at a career shaped by discipline, ambition, and self-awareness. From becoming an Eagle Scout to training under Chef Grant Achatz at Alinea and working at El Bulli, Per Se, and Blue Hill at Stone Barns, his journey includes some of the world’s most influential kitchens. Now five years sober, Greg reflects on his evolving leadership style, the realities of running Olmsted and Maison Yaki, and his upcoming cookbook, Nothing Matters but Delicious, which chronicles his return to the kitchen after rehab.
