Episode 25: Abram Bissell, Executive Chef of The Modern - a podcast by Heritage Radio Network

Chef Abram Bissell became Executive Chef of The Modern in 2014. Most recently, Abram opened The NoMad as Chef de Cuisine in 2012, directly following his role as Executive Sous Chef at Eleven Madison Park, during which time the restaurant earned three Michelin Stars, four New York Times stars, and membership in the Relais & Chateau association.

Earlier in his career, Abram worked in the kitchens of Post Ranch Inn’s Sierra Mar Restaurant in Big Sur, and L’Espalier in Boston. Abram attended the New England Culinary Institute in Montpelier, Vermont. He was born into a half Jewish, half Italian family and raised in a fishing community in the Florida Keys, and that is deeply reflected in his cooking. The first dish he learned to make was conch fritters, and that still finds its way onto his menu in present day (but with lobster), and there are elements on various dishes that show his love of Jewish delis.
