My Love Affair With Food | Joshua Dalton | TEDxColumbus

There are trials and tribulations to every relationship. Chef Josh Dalton takes us on his personal journey of discovering his passion for food and cooking amidst the many hurdles he&encountered along the way. A Gulf Coast boy turned Midwest entrepreneur, Chef Joshua Dalton has been on a 15 year culinary journey best likened to a rollercoaster ride, one with twists, turns, highs, lows and the occasional corkscrew. Dalton was born in the south and spent most of his childhood just outside New Orleans. And, whether or not he knew it at the time, it’s obvious that he absorbed a great deal of the unique flavor and heart of that region as it now shows both in his personality and cooking techniques. Dalton is a self-aware workaholic who can be a bit brash, a bit bold and always a potty-mouth. But he also exudes passion for what’s he’s currently doing and is fiercely focused on what he can do next that is bigger, better and even more enlightening for his customers.
