Before we get started, meet the man behind the pan that created the Burnt Hands Perspective. Chef Antonio Caurana has 30 years of experience in the restaurant industry. Dubbed the bad boy of fine dining, Tony combines the rebel spirit that comes with life as a biker and a chef. As an award-winning chef, sommelier, and owner Chef's perspective is rooted in the old-school chef brigade mindset and he is not afraid to say it. 

In this podcast episode, Chef Tony talks with KC about his varied life experiences, including his culinary career, military service, and time with the Hells Angels. He shares his family's influence on his love for cooking, his mentorship under Joe Graziano, and guidance from Annalisa in the restaurant business. 

Tony also reflects on his passion for hockey and his stint as a professional mascot, revealing the lighter side of his personality. The discussion covers the realities of being a chef, dealing with critics, drug use, and the sense of community within the restaurant industry, while also touching on the physical demands and his candid approach to handling negative reviews.

This show started as a conversation between two longtime friends. Kristen Crowley, known as KC, also has a long tenure in food and beverage, with 15 years behind the bar and seven restaurant openings under her belt. Moving from behind the bar to behind the TV News Anchor desk, KC also reps the old-school mindset in the industry.

Welcome to the raw and unfilitered show that celebrates EVERY aspect of this amazing industry filled with fun, hardships, and community. This is the Burnt Hands Perspective.
