Show 106, January 17, 2015: Anthony Jacquet, Executive Chef, Whisper Restaurant & Lounge

Anthony JacquetChef Anthony Jacquet of the Whisper Restaurant and Lounge at The Grove in Los Angeles was one of three talented North American Chefs to be selected by Taiwan Tourism to participate in Taste Taiwan 2014. The lucky chefs were hosted to an exclusive eight-day culinary adventure to Taiwan.

Chef Anthony was inspired to then create a dish from his trip which is highlighted on The Whisper menu as a special for this month. It’s a Berkshire Pork Belly Bun with housemade hoisin sauce, pickled Fresno peppers, five-spice candied peanuts, and a fried quail egg.

“This Taiwanese hamburger represents the West-Meets-East experience to me. I pieced all the ingredients together based on my memories.” (Chef Anthony.)

Diners who enjoy this dish at Whisper Lounge this month also have the chance to win roundtrip airfare to Taiwan on EVA Air.

The chefs’ eight-day tour of Taiwan was filmed and edited into an informative 30-minute documentary. The documentary follows the on-the-go chefs as they indulge in Taiwan’s finest restaurants and experience the island’s fresh produce markets and street foods, among other culinary adventures. Diners at Whisper this month who order the Berkshire Pork Belly Bun will receive a complimentary DVD copy of the documentary as a thank you gift.

Chef Anthony returns with an update.
