Burnt Hands Perspective

Antonio Caruana and Kristen Crowley

Send us a text

Chef Stephen Coe is a nationally recognized and award-winning chef, best known for his victory against celebrity chef Bobby Flay in “Chopped: Beat Bobby Flay” on the Food Network. Whether in the kitchen or one of his many food trucks, Chef Coe is known for his culinary creativity and ability to compete at any stage against any competition.

Chef Coe’s other notable accomplishments include his “Chopped: Ultimate Redemption” win in 2019, winning the Grand Prize in the Food Network’s “Tyler Florence Recipe Contest” and the American Culinary Foundation’s “Boston Junior Chef of the Year.” He also holds the titles of “World Bacon Champion,” winner of the “World Food Championships” and “Grill Master” from the popular Food Network series “Chopped Grill Masters.” 

Boston's "Dark Knight" of the culinary world takes us through his awesome journey from an eight-year-old stuffing donuts to a culinary empire builder with seven restaurants spanning from New England to the Caribbean.

Chef Coe isn't your typical restaurateur. Beyond his innovative European and Caribbean-inspired establishments, he's the creative force behind "Food Truck Chronicles," where he literally drag races food trucks while their crews attempt to cook. His own trucks, "Lobster Love" and "Culinary SWAT," bring theatrical flair to street food – including shooting tacos at customers!

We dive into the competitive cooking world where Chef Coe has made his mark, winning the World Food Championships and facing off against Bobby Flay on television. With uncesored convo, he talks about his unorthodox competitive strategy: psychological warfare through trash-talking that has helped him topple champions. "I like the pressure," he explains. "When I won, chefs were intense, ready to rip your head off – that's what I love."

What truly sets Chef Coe apart is his approach to restaurant culture. Rather than traditional hierarchy, he creates partnerships with his staff, ensuring they're genuinely invested in the business. "I respect the people who work for me," he shares, explaining how this mutual respect creates a loyal team that supports his creative ventures while maintaining excellence across his diverse restaurant portfolio.

Whether discussing his revolt for pretentious judging, revealing his preferred cooking methods, or sharing his philosophy on kitchen leadership, Chef Coe is unapologetically himself. His story offers lessons for aspiring chefs, restaurant owners, and food enthusiasts alike.

Speaker 3:

Oh my grace Food trucks three, two lobster loaves and culinary swat.

Speaker 2:

So, lobster, what was your start, what was your catalyst into this, to where you started to gain a?

Speaker 3:

lot of traction to be able to do the extra stuff. Was it lobster? No, I don't know. I grew up in it Just in culinary.

Speaker 2:

Grew up in competition since I was a kid, but you grew up in the kitchen cooking as a daily routine as well.

Speaker 3:

Yes, as an eight Wow Stuff stuffing donuts in a little diner.

Speaker 2:

Sure, some fry guy all the way up to the grill. Oh, yeah, yeah dug up burnt fingers hands burnt bodies, Burnt body parts yeah, burnt kneecaps.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, all the above.

Speaker 2:

So now you went from that scrubbing and dubbing yes.

Speaker 3:

And now you're a multi-restaurant owner. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2:

And the crew? Is it hard to find the crew with the passion? Or are your different levels of restaurants you're owning so you have to deal with different facets of it.

Speaker 3:

All of the above, but I have a fun culture and I come in hot. I fucking respect the people who work for me and, like in the islands, we get a very bad percentage even up here. That way they're invested and if I need to do shit like this, they have my back Sure as opposed to having an employee.

Speaker 2:

You do shit like this. They have my back Sure Right. As opposed to having an employee.

Speaker 3:

You have employees. They're not employers, they're like partners and just cool people. Sure, and they all know it, they're my culture, wow. And if they're not part of the culture, they don't get hired. Right, right, they'll be tapped a little bit, sure, sure.

Speaker 2:

Have a blast. Yeah, yeah, really important fact here If you're not part of the culture and that culture we're talking about is what we encompass here in Berntham's perspective the culture, the restaurant industry, maybe I should say, maybe I should stop saying restaurant at some point and focus more on the food industry.

Speaker 3:

You know what I mean A restaurant, doesn't exist without the industry.

Speaker 2:

We're talking about the people driving trucks, delivery drivers, who are high on meth. It doesn't come without the industry, 100% we're talking about the people driving trucks.

Speaker 3:

Delivery drivers who are high on meth Doesn't come in the door.

Speaker 2:

The meth addicts that are cooking. Stop calling me out.

Speaker 3:

Dad, you're embarrassing me.

Speaker 2:

I learned it from you.

Speaker 3:

I learned it from you, Dad.

Speaker 2:

Best commercial ever. That's what I'm saying. There's so much going on in the restaurant industry or the food working industry. He's like your son.

Speaker 1:

He does what's up, homie, he looks like my son.

Speaker 2:

She's like your son. I'm like hey.

Speaker 1:

I know it's not mine. You're like wait a minute?

Speaker 2:

That's not mine. So, anyway, we are live and direct, so we're at a huge event right now. This is the World Food Championships.

Speaker 1:

World Food.

Speaker 2:

Championships Vienna. So people are walking by. There's a lot of noise in the background. You're going to hear a lot of whistles and things. You've won this competition at one point, right? Yes, so there's a lot of pressure, a lot of stress. Let's talk about that competition, the TV competitions and their comparisons. Go ahead with this one first.

Speaker 3:

All right, this one Tell me about the heat of this. Back in the day, I think it was a little more intense. Now the judging's a little more relaxed, which I don't like that at all. Okay, I stepped out of the competition this year. Okay, because I don't think, I don't know, I'm not a big fan of the way they judge things.

Speaker 1:

The blind judging.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, no, I was saying blind judging, because you don't know who's blind back there. Well, yeah, the people judging are blind, the, and there's a lot of. Well, I don't like blue cheese. I'm like, well, what a fucking burger. Then, yeah Right, random things like that I don't like. Then you have ACF rolling up in there. I think they're like Thomas Keller all of a sudden. Then they're judging everybody. It's like get the fuck out of your white coats, okay. Right, we're out of the British and the red coats.

Speaker 2:

Sure Right, you got a bad taste in your mouth along the line somewhere.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I don't know what it is and I love competitions, but I don't think it's a fair game.

Speaker 2:

So when you won it back in the day, you said it was a little bit better back in the day. Tell me about the intensity of that competition, Regardless of the judging. I'm talking about cooking under the pressure.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, and the pressure was awesome and I've been competing since I was a kid, so it's like I like the pressure, and when we were doing it back when I won, the chefs are a little more intense, coming into the game Like they're ready to rip your fucking head off and that's why I love.

Speaker 2:

I'm like yes, that's a missing kid. Yeah, and the kid that?

Speaker 3:

I was going up against the past couple years. He was taking number one every time. I mean, he's a kid from Mexico. Solid, I was like what the fuck? I'm like what? And I know the game. So I brought a solid suit. I'm like you cook, I'm going to talk shit the whole time to this kid.

Speaker 2:

That was it. I just talked shit the whole time.

Speaker 3:

It's a competition and he knocked him from first in the world to fucking like 16th. I was like what's up, dickhead.

Speaker 2:

And we took it all. Good Talking shit goes way. Of course it does so. Um, you know, when you're competing at this level here and you're getting into head games, that's all part of the competition. Yeah, so that alarm we hear now right now is them. Uh, so that's the.

Speaker 1:

That's it. So right now it's a 10 minute warning. They're doing countdown so they can start delivering dishes.

Speaker 2:

Keep your bells and whistles and start cooking, right, the warner brothers. Well, well for the spectators it's amazing, for the cooks it's more of a problem.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I'm like you've blown a fucking whistle in here yeah, it's like too short in here I'll give you a chef.

Speaker 1:

Speaker 3:

No pegging please.

Speaker 1:

Speaker 2:

Speaker 1:

I don't think we can hear it, check it out.

Speaker 2:

So you're competing. So it's easier for you to say fuck this judging, fuck this, because you've already won, you've already done it. So the people coming in here, though, they're excited as fuck Of course they are. That's what I kind of feel bad for, and they should be though.

All right, got it. I think sous vide is fucking weird in restaurants all the time. There's a position for it. But, now, when you go into some restaurants and it's all sous vide machines.

Speaker 2:

Well, it's because they forgot how to cook.

Speaker 3:

No, I'm like dude. I'll protein all day long in a fucking burner. Here's the funny thing about sous vide Even a butane burner. Here's the transition.

Speaker 2:

Here's the escalate, here's the fucking life cycle of sous vide Yep, you're very worried about it because you don't know how to do it Yep. Then you start to learn how to do it, yep. And then you start doing it and realizing how much you can do with it. Of course, now, if there's no sous vide, you can't make the fucking pork right, or you can't make your filet right because you relied on it for so long. 100%. I stay right in the beginning phase of.

Speaker 1:

I'm still trying to learn sous vide. No, I was like I learned it. I said you were into it. We are fucking in it.
