Art of Food's Meet The Chef: Ben Zwicker, Chef at T-Bar Steak

I always enjoyed cooking at home with my family. I started when I was young as a dishwasher, and moved up from there. I eventually came from San Francisco to work here as a sous chef in 1998, and then worked at the Four Seasons Hotel and a few other restaurants, and then they were looking for a chef here at T-Bar and I came back.

We have great steaks. We've been here for almost 22 years, and there are a lot of other menu items that have always stuck around, like our banana parfait and tuna tartar. Right now we have a really great pork chop on the menu.

Yes, we did. We prepared roast suckling pig rolls based on Warhol's Piglet. The event was a lot of fun. It was great to be at Sotheby's and see all of the beautiful art. All of the chefs did a really great job.

Right now, all I'm really making at home is hot dogs for my son!
