Ex-Chef Christian Puglisi on Choosing Kids Over Kitchens
About this episode
Former chef Christian Puglisi opens up about the joy of fatherhood, the challenge of raising kids while running Michelin-starred kitchens, and his recent decision to sell his restaurant empire to spend more time with his family.
Now 43 with three sons — a 13-year-old from a previous relationship and two younger children (ages 3 years and 3 months) with his current wife — Christian discusses the differences between parenting in his late twenties versus his forties, and talks candidly about the physical challenges of parenting later in life while highlighting the benefits of greater wisdom and perspective.
