A lifelong food lover, Chef Amanda Shulman‘s love of cuisine and cooking became all consuming during a semester in Rome during college.

Following a string of stages and early jobs, she committed to the pro kitchen and trained in Vegas, Montreal and New York City before opening her hugely successful Her Place in Philadelphia.

On this episode of Andrew Talks to Chefs, Chef Amanda discusses her unique path, the role Italy plays in her career and her new restaurant My Loup, opened recently in collaboration with her fiancée Alex Kemp. (This episode was recorded at the Hot Luck festival in Austin.)
