TWS: You likely have driven a few now. What is your favorite Lexus of 2017?
Izard: The LC 500h is hard to beat.
Mirarchi: Definitely the LC 500.
TWS: How do you get inspired?
Izard: I’m inspired by foods from other cultures. There are so many amazing flavors around the world and I love continuing to learn about them!
Mirarchi: I try and find inspiration in everything.
TWS: When you are not eating at your restaurant what dish can we find in front of you?
Izard: If I’m smiling really big, I probably have a lot of sashimi in front of me.
Mirarchi: Most likely lamb dumplings.
TWS: When did you know you were going to be a chef?
Izard: I think it was always in me… but it took going to college and not finding anything that truly interested me to realize it was what I was meant to do.
Mirarchi: When I figured out I was pretty awful at everything else!
While the food and wine was the highlight for me, the experience left an indelible impression as did Lexus.
Mark your calendar! The Pebble Beach Food & Wine experience returns April 5-8, 2018.
