SHOTA NAKAJIMA

Table 5 with Lindsay Luttrell

Shota is a chef, restaurateur, TV personality and so much more. In this episode, we talk about his decision to leave school early and get his first restaurant job. How his sheer grit and determination led him to Japan at just 18 to work in a Michelin Star kitchen. We discuss how he runs kitchens today based on his own experiences. We hear about how he found his dog, Dodger, his passion for mushroom foraging and so much more.
