Give a Shuck Chef Spotlight #4: Robert Harris

Chef Robert Harris first learned to cook in his mother’s kitchen in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. He got his formal culinary training at the Culinary Institute of America, then worked in New Orleans at the Commander’s Palace before moving with his family to Massachusetts. His Cambridge restaurant Season to Taste is driven by “passion for local, down-to-earth food.” This year, Season to Taste hosted a five-course, all-oyster tasting menu, so Chef Harris knows what he’s doing at Give a Shuck!

Give a Shuck Chef Spotlight #2: Tran Lee

Tran Lee is a former architect turned chef and owner of Viet Citron in Cambridge, Somerville, and Burlington. Her family moved from Vietnam to the Medford area when she was 11 years old. A food-enthusiast from an early age, she attended Tufts for undergraduate and got her master’s degree in architecture from the University of Virginia. For a decade, she worked as a design architect for multi-million-dollar commercial and residential projects, all the while developing her idea for her fresh casual restaurant concept with modern authentic Vietnamese flavors. That idea became reality in 2020 with the first Viet Citron location.

Not only is Give a Shuck a one-of-a-kind evening for the benefit of oyster restoration, it’s also a chance to enjoy local seafood in the skilled hands of top Boston chefs.

Over the next few days we’ll be spotlighting the fantastic chefs supporting our event, starting with Chef Tracy Chang:

Tracy Chang is the chef and owner of Pagu in Cambridge. A two-time James Beard semifinalist for Best Chef: Northeast, Chang worked at acclaimed Boston omakase restaurant O Ya while finishing her finance degree, then went on to study pastry at Le Cordon Bleu Paris. After Paris, she worked with Chef Martín Berasategui at his three star Michelin restaurant in San Sebastian, Spain, before returning home to Boston. In addition to being an award-winning chef, Chang helped found Project Restore Us, which is working to re-conceptualize the food pantry model by providing a pathway for youth to access culturally relevant food, in a dignified way.
