Inspiring Living with Mark Candelaria

Making a Full Pirouette in the Restaurant Business with Mark Tarbell

Mark Candelaria Season 1 Episode 39

Today’s guest is one of my all-time icons, Mark Tarbell of Tarbell’s Restaurant! You all know how much I love to cook, but this guy is at the top of the top when it comes to this profession and passion we both share. Mark will talk about his culinary beginnings in Amsterdam and Paris, share what it was like to compete on and win Food Network’s “Iron Chef America” and achieving his dream of opening his own restaurant in 1994. 

Hundreds of accolades later, the Tarbell’s team continues to serve contemporary dishes and classic comfort food in the elegant, art-filled space. Being in the restaurant business right now as we all know is as tough as it gets and we will get into this during the podcast. However, this guy is still open and cooking every day, so I encourage all of you within driving distance to support not only Tarbell’s, but all of your favorite dining establishments in your neighborhood.

We also LOVE his show “Plate and Pour” on PBS Arizona that takes viewers behind the scenes of local restaurants, which is the perfect escape right now while stuck at home!
