Hari Cameron of Grandpa Mac, and Chef Consultant at Arcobaleno – Talking Pasta, the Move to Fast Casual, and Content Creation

You can listen to the show on Buzzsprout, ITunes, Spotify, TuneIn, Stitcher, Pandora and I Heart Radio.

On this week’s podcast I speak with chef Hari Cameron. Hari is the chef consultant at Arcobaleno, as well as the chef partner at Grandpa Mac. I met Hari a few years ago when he was the chef and owner of a(MUSE.) restaurant in Rehoboth, Deleware, a restaurant that he closed on New Year’s Eve 2019. We discuss the move from fine dining to fast casual, as well as his new position with Arcobaleno. Arcobaleno makes kitchen equipment, and have become known for their pasta extruders. Hari’s extensive use of these extruders is what led to his chef consultant job with them. We also talk about content creation and being a brand ambassador for a company, as well as his spirit collaboration with Dogfish Head.
