How do great chefs develop?
In this episode of Chef’s PSA, Chef Aaron Bludorn and Chef Allie Peña of Bludorn Restaurant in Houston share their perspectives on culinary mentorship, leadership, and the evolution of kitchen systems.
We explore:
The creative process behind Bludorn’s cuisine
How mentorship creates resilient chefs
Kitchen station setup, daily tools, and team habits
AI, kitchen display systems, and the future of fine dining
Redefining leadership as a service, not a title
This is a tactical conversation that goes beyond the food. It’s about the people, the process, and the purpose that shape chef careers today.
