Claire Welle, the chef of Otway restaurant in Brooklyn, NY, has been drawing a lot of attention lately for her straightforward, relatable bistro menu, tweaked just enough to make it enduringly personal. She and Andrew took up a booth one morning last week during the prep day at Otway and talked over her young life and career; her views on teamwork, collaboration, and chemistry; how the current "cook's market" impacts contemporary pro kitchens; her opinion of cooking schools; and a lot more. (We think this is a wonderful companion interview to our preceding episode with Charlie Palmer).

Episode 21: Claire Welle

Claire Welle was born outside of Baltimore and attended the Culinary Institute of America. After culinary school, Welle cooked in San Francisco and Washington D.C. She dutifully studied baking, pastry, and bread making under a Tartine alum. Welle also spent time farming at a small organic produce farm outside Saratoga Springs in upstate New York. Since moving to new York City, Welle cooked at Mas (farmhouse), Gwynnett St, Blenheim, and Rebelle. Currently, Welle is proud to lead an exceedingly talented group of people at her humble Brooklyn restaurant, Otway. When she is not in the kitchen at Otway, you can likely find Welle at the Four Horseman or La Compagnie des Vins Surnaturels drinking wine.
