Jeremy
Morrow
Bistro 43 in Des Moines, Iowa
Influenced
by chefs like Alice Waters and Charlie Trotter, chef Jeremy
Morrow of Des Moines, Iowa is passionate about supporting
local farmers and using seasonal produce. Consequently,
Morrow sees his cuisine as a collaboration between himself
and the farmers that produce his ingredients. Often, local
farmers personally bring their product to his doorstep
and he shapes his menu around what they have available.
Although
Morrow specializes in Eastern cuisine, he grew up in a
landmark of the west: Nashville, Tennessee. The first
time he got his hands on fine cuisine was as a waiter
in Nashville restaurants. But working in the food and
wine milieu inspired him to trade his bow tie for an apron
and pursue culinary arts. He made the chef’s pilgrimage
to California where he attended California Culinary Academy
in San Francisco. After working in several restaurants
in California, Oregon, and Alaska, he opened two restaurants
in Des Moines: Bistro 43 and Forty Three Restaurant and
Bar. His latest project is an upscale neighborhood bar
in Des Moines called The Star Bar.
