On today's episode of All in the Industry®, Shari Bayer's guest is Timon Balloo, a South Florida-based chef and owner of The Katherine, Mrs. Balloo, and Balloo Wallah. Timon, who was born to Chinese and Trinidadian parents, made his mark as Chef and Partner of SUGARCANE Raw Bar Grill, earning numerous accolades including "Best New Restaurant," and Timon was dubbed "Best Up-and-Coming Chef" by Miami New Times and "Chef of the Year" by Eater shortly after its debut in 2010. Since then, the accolades have never stopped. Most recently, Timon was named one of “16 Black Chefs Changing Food in America” by The New York Times and nominated for a James Beard Award. Today's show also features Shari's PR tip to be bold; Speed Round; Industry News Discussion on the sad passing of legendary pizzaiolo Domenico “Dom” DeMarco, owner of pizza institution Di Fara Pizza in Midwood, Brooklyn, NYC; and Solo Dining experience at nyc.com/">Mel's, a new casual wood-fired pizza restauant, which has taken over part of the former Del Posto in Manhattan's Meatpacking District.
