From Passion to Plate

From Passion to Plate

In this episode, we present Nate Barker, a chef and restaurateur whose formative years in Warren, Ohio, were distinctly marked by a simplicity of palate — he hadn't tried salad dressing until he was 18. Now, at the helm of West & Main Restaurant, his culinary journey reflects a remarkable transformation from his conservative gastronomic beginnings to the dynamic flavors he now champions.

Our discussion with Nate will cover:

  • The pivot of aspiration:  from law to culinary arts
  • The  moments that shaped his career choices
  • The influence of family and life experiences on his professional direction
  • And his latest venture 
  • Japanese culture and its impact on him
  • Nate's One Word

So press play, listen, learn, and have a few laughs. Ladies and gentlemen, Sound United Presents Nate Barker!
