Chris Sayegh here, the CEO of @the_herbal_chef.

It’s an honor to bring on Simon Davies for OF EARTH Ep.7. Simon Davies was previously the executive chef of Alinea, the three Michelin restaurant in Chicago, Illinois. Alinea provided Simon the opportunity to be creative, to learn quickly in a regimented kitchen, and to collaborate with extraordinarily talented people. Now with the recent launch of ilixr Creative, Simon is taking the opportunity to explore his passion for film and photography. ilixr Creative is committed to making a positive impact through the world of food. We are excited to see the positive change that Simon helps to lead through this creative project.

“It's hard not to be cynical right now. I am always very optimistic that people will come out a lot stronger because of everything that's happening. It's a huge wake-up call to become a closer-knit community. Maybe it's just the people that I'm talking with, the friends that I have and chefs around the world that I know, but it felt like the restaurant industry was already heading in the direction of becoming a closer community helping each other more.”
