Meet Chef Nyesha Arrington, who has worked in some of the best kitchens across the country and is now building a restaurant of her own - Leona, a cozy neighborhood gem nestled by the Pacific Ocean in Venice, CA.

We head down south to Memphis, Tennessee, where Andy Ticer and Michael Hudman are the chefs at Hog & Hominy, a concept devoted to honoring their Italian roots while embracing the flavors of classic Southern food.

We meet Chef Richard Blais, winner of Bravo's Top Chef All-Stars and successful restauranteur. His newest concept, Juniper & Ivy, on the outskirts of San Diego's Little Italy offers diners refined contemporary American food with a whimsical twist.
