Chef Name: Yvon Goetz
 

Question: How long have you been a chef?
Answer: Who’s counting?!!
 
Question: How long have you been at this restaurant?
Answer: -Since before it was build... LOL. It's been 4 ½ years now!
 
Question: Who or what inspired you to become a chef?
Answer: I grew up spending a lot of time with my grandparents. My grandfather had a huge garden with every vegetable and fruit you can imagine, and that’s when my grandmother took over and made wonders out of the delicious, fresh ingredients. They hardly ever bought fresh produce at the store. Everything was homemade, and it was AMAZING!
 
Question: What do you enjoy most about your profession?
Answer: Making people happy by creating dishes that they rave about and come back for!
 
Question: When you’re not in the kitchen what are you doing?
Answer: Sleeping… :)  Spending time with my kids, running, traveling, R&D’ing at other restaurants…
 
Question: What is your most popular dish?
Answer:  YG’s Alsatian Pizza. Specialty from Alsace. By far the most popular, then a close 2nd would be the Zinfandel-braised shortribs (featured on the Restaurant Week menu)
 
Question: Your last meal on Earth would be??
Answer:  At home in Alsace…. Foie Gras/fresh brioche and Tarte Flambée (YG’s pizza) for sure! Top it off with great Gewürztraminer, Champagne (little Grande Dame or Krug Rose), then a DRC (burgundy), great 1st growth Bordeaux and finish with a little Chateau d’Yquem.
 
Question: What's your favorite item on the Restaurant Week Menu?
Answer: The Slow Zinfandel-Braised Shortribs with the carrot-infused couscous! Great comfort food. It's braised for 5 hours in wine and its own juice before I serve it over creamy-cheesy Israeli couscous!
