About the Host
A Boston native and graduate of the Natural Gourmet Institute for Health and Culinary Arts in NYC, Chef Zoe Schor cut her teeth in Los Angeles under a handful of legendary chefs: Thomas Keller at Bouchon, Todd English at Beso, and Tom Colicchio at Craft. Upon relocating to Chicago, she she joined DMK Restaurants to open Ada Street as its' Executive Chef, and she won three consecutive Michelin Bib Gourmand awards for her inventive small-plates menu. In 2017, she decided to strike out on her own with Split-Rail, her love letter to classic Midwestern “Americana” cuisine. And, in 2018, Chef Schor was recognized by the folks at James Beard with a Semi-Finalist nomination for the prestigious "Best Chef: Great Lakes" Award.
