798: French Training, Japanese Soul: Tadashi Ono's Long Road Home
Podcast: This Is TASTEPublished On: Sat Jun 27 2026
Description: Tadashi Ono spent nine years as executive chef of La Caravelle, one of America’'s great French restaurants—twice earning a three-star New York Times review—before walking away to cook the Japanese food he actually wanted to cook. Since then, he’s run Matsuri and Maison O; written four cookbooks with Harris Salat on Japanese hot pots, grilling, and comfort food; and opened Teruko, a sushi bar and Japanese restaurant in the subterranean belly of the Hotel Chelsea. We talk about his long career and his latest cookbook, Japanese Comfort Cooking. Subscribe to This Is TASTE: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube Learn more about your ad choices.
