#80 - Chefs & Guests - Chef Jay Kleven of Cleaver - a podcast by Ray Chmielecki

On the first episode of Spoon Mob's Chefs & Guests podcast series, Ray chats with chef Jay Kleven of Cleaver located in the Grandview neighborhood of Columbus Ohio over FaceTime. They talk about how Jay found his way to Columbus, how he got into the culinary industry, culinary school, his time at The Pearl, joining Rockmill Tavern, taking over as executive chef of Rockmill Tavern, how he got the gig at Cleaver, the challenges of opening a restaurant during a pandemic, what Cleaver will look like after the pandemic ends, the state of the city's restaurant scene, and the lack of food media in Columbus before answering the "burning grill" questions, a series of cool questions you never knew you wanted answered!
