Chop Talk Chef’s Spotlight

In this edition of Chef’s spotlight we are highlighting a very unique chef with a very unique name, ‘Stretch.’ @STRETCHartist To say that Stretch is eclectic is an understatement.
STRETCH believes there is a common thread between art, food and music, they cross all cultural boundaries. This vision is why he opened Grinders, Grinders West and CrossroadsKC at Grinders music venue in the Heart of the Crossroads Arts District of Kansas City, Missouri. Grinders has been an accumulation of STRETCH’s travels and life experiences — a food-art-music-fusion inspired by places like punk club CBGBs, Maxs Kansas City, night clubs, and classic dive joints with quality food and a fun atmosphere and was highlighted on Guy Fieri’s Diners, Drive In’s & Dives. A great experience at a great price whether you’re an artist, government official, lawyer, a musician, or a clown.

On Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives

Creating the menu for Grinders was an obvious choice for STRETCH. He didn’t want to starve and missed his East-Coast roots filled with Philly cheese-steaks and NY-style pizza, the idea of Grinders was born. Infusing the menu with his artistic flair, specialties like the Death Wings, the Chili Bomb Pie and Grinders Signature Hot Sauces were created as well as featured on the FOOD Network.
This weeks recipe is a video recipe (we love when that happens) from Stretch with Guy on Guy’s Big Bite, making what’s called the Le Hog Pizza, one of Stretch’s masterpieces from Grinders.

Stretch and Guy are using the Ergo Pro Series 7” Santoku knife here. <~Click for more information.
Where’s Randy?
And last up, but certainly not least, are the ongoing adventures of Chef Randy, who will be appearing with the Ergo/Costco Road Show this month at the following locations, so mark your calendar and come out and say hello…you never know, you may even see your picture here in one of our next installments!
