Venice Beach Icon

Iconic Venice Beach Restaurant James' Beach hasn't had a steady executive chef in five years. Anne brings four top candidates that she feels have the chops to stay long term. Each chef must reinterpret modern comfort food for the health-conscious community of Venice Beach. When two chefs are each handed the keys to the restaurant for a dinner service, one chef juggles the stress while catering to demands of celebrity clientele, and the other breaks down under the time constraints. In the end, only one chef earns the prestigious position of James' Beach's new executive chef.
