At a Glance His style at Miller’s Guild in Seattle was described as visceral, natural, and comfortable, built around wood fire, simple seasoning, vinaigrette, or simple sauce with high-quality ingredients. He has said, "High quality, for me, is defined by how the product is raised, the husbandry of the animals and who raised that product."
In Their Words “I want to know: Where was it raised? What time of year is it slaughtered? How was it fed? What were the conditions? What does it taste like?” “High quality, for me, is defined by how the product is raised, the husbandry of the animals and who raised that product.”
