About Chef Isaac Toups:
James Beard “Best Chef: South” Finalist and Bravo TV’s “Top Chef” season 13 “Fan Favorite,” Chef Isaac Toups exemplifies the new guard of Cajun chefs and is Chef/Owner of Toups Meatery and Toups South in New Orleans. A native of Rayne, Louisiana – the heart of Cajun country – Toups is known for his “born and braised” culinary style. His unique combination of childhood roots, heavily influenced by both grandmothers, along with honing his skills in some of New Orleans’ most acclaimed restaurants – including a decade of fine dining experience in Emeril Lagasse’s New Orleans kitchens – gives Chef Isaac Toups a cutting-edge that is unrivaled. www.toupsmeatery.com www.toupssouth.com

About Chef Markus Glocker:
Markus Glocker, Chef/Partner at Bâtard has hospitality in his blood. Born in Austria, he grew up working in the family hotels, where his appreciation for the culinary arts became a passion. Glocker’s talent finds full expression at Bâtard, the Tribeca restaurant he opened with restaurateur Drew Nieporent, and managing partner John Winterman. There, Glocker’s years of cooking crystallize with a cuisine defined as much by ebullient, rustic Austrian heritage as Glocker’s refined precision and an ingrained, family-style love of hospitality. Fashioned with what New York Times critic Pete Wells calls “a sniper’s accuracy at the stove,” Glocker’s dishes are both robust and refined and the restaurant has earned a three-star rating from The New York Times, three stars from New York Magazine, and a coveted Michelin star, among several other stellar reviews.  In May 2015, Bâtard was awarded Best New Restaurant in America by the James Beard Foundation. www.batardtribeca.com
