Chef Alex Atala
Chef Atala began his career at the Hospitality School of Namur, in Belgium. After his schooling, he worked in restaurants in France owned by Jean Pierre Bruneau and Bernard Loiseau. Chef Atala was also trained at the famous Hotel de la Cote d’Or, followed by time in Montpellier and Milan. Chef Atala finally returned to his native Brazil in 1994.
…he soon drew attention for his performance while in charge of the restaurants Filomena and 72. In 1999, he began his career as chef-owner in the acclaimed Namesa. In the very same year he opened the D.O.M. Restaurant, as well as a new era for Brazilian cuisine, where the ingredients and food culture of his country are protagonists in an avant-garde, sophisticated, and always surprising cuisine.
Sterling Caviar
Located in California’s farm-to-fork capital of Sacramento, Sterling Caviar is America’s pioneer of sustainable sturgeon farming and sturgeon caviar production, and is the nation’s leading producer. Consistently recognized for its sustainable farming practices, Sterling’s caviar is exclusively produced from white sturgeon. “We’re thrilled at the opportunity to partner with Hudson’s this October,” says Camron King, President of Sterling Caviar. “What an incredible honor it will be to have our caviar utilized by some of the world’s top chefs and during dinner service throughout the month.”
