The Today Show featured Chef Charlie Mitchell of Clover Hill last week, touting the Chef as the first and only Black Michelin-starred chef in New York City and only the second Black chef in the country to earn the accolade. Chef Charlie is also the first and only chef in Brooklyn Heights to win a Michelin star. He not only scored the Michelin “New York Young Chef” award, he’s also a semi-finalist for the James Beard “Emerging Chef” award.
How far Chef Charlie has come from a young boy in Detroit, whose passion for cooking developed while watching his grandmother lovingly prepare food for the family.
Chef Charlie Mitchell: “From the first thing I ever made, to history being made.”
And look at that sweet boy, all grown up, earning a Michelin star in the most competitive restaurant arena in the country, garnering national media attention, and creating such inventive and gorgeous dishes like these.
1. Shima Aji Crudo with Melon and Smoked Tomato. 2. Farro Porridge with Perigord Truffle. 3. Peeky Toe Crab Wrapped in Corn and Australian Black Truffle, Red Currant and a Sweet Corn Veloute.
Just watch this video segment of his interview at the Today Show and prepare to be so charmed and so proud of this star Chef who’s a part of our community.
