I relocated to Rio de Janeiro to join the organizing team for the build-out and launch.  I was also on the production team for the documentary film, "Table for All" (available on Apple TV).

My role entailed crafting distinct identities for each chef, aligning their culinary perspectives with the ethos of Reffatorio.  Through personal interviews, shared meals, and kitchen observation, I aided the chefs in articulating their experiences and perspectives on a wide range of topics, including Nikkei cuisine, the origins of the Amanita Muscaria mushroom, the importance of the creativity station at El Bulli, why Syria's food supply chain is everyone's problem, and how chefs can help hospitals heal patients faster.
