Andy heads down to the Gulf Coast to talk with several of the chefs responsible for reinventing the coastal culinary scene. 10 years ago, the area was predominately known only for "standard" resort foods and fried seafood. Today, Orange Beach boasts a list of outstanding restaurants and food festivals that are drawing hundreds of thousands of tourists to the area, along with award-winning chefs. In this episode, Andy sits down with two of the chefs responsible for helping to transform Orange Beach's food scene, Bill Briande, and Brody Olive. Both chefs deliver real insight into how their commitment to intentionally sourcing from trusted and local farmers and producers has opened the door for them to create the kind of dishes and guest experiences that bring tourists back each year and score them James Beard Nominations. Each chef shares their perspectives on what factors have influenced the area's culinary renaissance that any chef looking to reinvent their local scene should be taking notes on to apply for themselves. Throughout the episode, Bill and Brody deliver wisdom and examples outlining their approach to kitchen leadership and creating a culture of constant culinary excellence, creativity, and growth that empowers young chefs to discover and grow in their unique styles. If you're a chef or food producer, you'll want to keep a pen and paper nearby for this one, because you'll be jotting down new ideas every minute!

Reinventing The Orange Beach Food Scene with Bill Briand and Brody Olive

On the latest episode of “Hot off the Press,” Chef Pete talks with Fisher’s Executive Chef Bill Briand, fresh off his nomination for the coveted James Beard Award. With 16 years of experience in the food industry, Briand is the first chef in Baldwin County, Ala., to be nominated for this prestigious award. Briand began his career in New Orleans working alongside celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse, who also happened to be the first guest to dine at Fisher’s the night before its Memorial Day Weekend opening in 2014. Briand went on to work with acclaimed New Orleans chef Donald Link at Herbsaint, Cochon and Butcher. Chef Briand and the Fisher’s team prioritize the integrity and quality of the ingredients in the dishes they prepare, depending on the local farmers and fishermen to provide them with the freshest produce and seafood each season. Their goal is to not only serve delicious food, but to elevate the dining experience by sharing the story behind it. In an effort to offer both locals and tourists a unique dining experience like no other on the Gulf Coast, Fisher’s is hosting the Southern Grace Dinner series featuring award-winning and celebrity chefs from across the South. For the third consecutive year, Chef Briand will open up his kitchen to spotlight the top-notch talent and cuisine of acclaimed chefs from across the region, as well as to showcase the rich and diverse bounty of the Gulf Coast. These exclusive dinners will allow guests the opportunity to mix and mingle with their favorite chefs at a cocktail reception, followed by a communal-seated dinner in Fisher’s laid back and relaxed signature style. Co-sponsored by Gulf Shores Orange Beach Tourism and Alabama Gulf Seafood, a portion of the proceeds will benefit the Southern Foodways Alliance. The Southern Grace Dinner series kicks off May 12th with featured chef Nina Compton, owner and chef at Compere Lapin and runner up on Bravo’s “Top Chef” Season 11. This summer’s stellar culinary lineup also includes guest chefs Alon Shaya, Isaac Toups, Frank Stitt, Ryan Prewitt, Adam Evans, Justin Devillier and Bill Smith.
