Meet Jonathan Tam, the Chef/Matchmaker that led me to Stephanie.
To make a short story long,
In 2021, Stephanie is so moved by Jonathan’s cooking during his Residency at Stone Barns that she immediately pursues a Pastry role at Blue Hill at Stone Barns.
Stephanie and I later meet at Family Meal at Blue Hill
and we fall in love.
8 years prior, in 2013, I ate at Relæ in Copenhagen
and was so moved by the meal.
I went back to the photos a few years ago and unbeknownst to me, Jonathan was behind the scenes as a Sous Chef at Relæ.
This guy from Edmonton is whippin’ up amore in different continents.
Fast forward to present day,
Chef Jonathan is continuing to inspire as the Chef/Owner of Jatak in Nørrebro.
What a delight to see Row 7 Badger Flame Beets with kombu, to taste the sweetest tomatoes with the sweetest tropea onion, to bite through noodles cooked in venison fat and tomato sauce (I wish we had asked for seconds) and to enjoy the Dalsgaard & Barsøe Chicken season 4x ways (it’s the Rolls Royce of poultry in Denmark).
We capped off our final dinner in Europe with Thousand Layer Cake and Stein Auslese Riesling.
A meal worth a special journey to Copenhagen.
We love ya, brother Tam ❤️
