Wynton and John Besh filming “Iconoclasts” episode in New Orleans
Wynton is in New Orleans today to film an episode for the third series of Iconoclasts with chef John Besh.
If you have the Sundance Channel, you might be familiar with the ‘Iconoclasts’ television series. The 60-minute show takes two innovators from different fields and brings them together to discuss their passions and creative processes.
The episode should be broadcasted on November 22, 2007, at 10 PM ET/PT. (more info to come…)
Wynton and John Besh while shooting Iconoclasts episode in New Orleans
Who is John Besh:
Acclaimed chef John Besh grew up in Southern Louisiana, learning at an early age the essentials of Louisiana’s rich culinary traditions. Besh has set the benchmark for fine dining in New Orleans- with the four successful restaurants-Restaurant August, Besh Steak, Luke and La Provence. His talent and drive have earned Besh continuous kudos from the outset of his career: from Food & Wine’s “Top 10 Best New Chefs in America” to Gourmet’s “Guide to America’s Best Restaurants,” and “America’s Top 50 Restaurants”. He won the James Beard Award for Best Chef of the Southeast in 2006. Besh’s appreciation for local ingredients and local cuisine has only increased since Hurricane Katrina as he considers these essential to the survival of the people and cultural heritage of New Orleans. Showing the spirit of New Orleans in the wake of a disaster, Restaurant August was one of the first restaurants to open after Hurricane Katrina. Besh has been actively involved in efforts locally and national to raise funds for hurricane victims.

Dear Shannon and Lynn,
this is not John Besh fan club, and we don’t know if he has one.
Try to write to his official web site for more info.

Sign me up for the John Besh Fan Club too! I wish he had a restaurant where I live (northern California) so I could go out and try his food. Reading his menus have me salivating.

All I want to know is how to join the John Besh fan club. I think that I might boycott Iron Chef America.
