Chef Carl Schroeder on What’s Next After The Market

The chef and three-time James Beard nominee joins Happy Half Hour to share why he’s stepping away after two decades at the top
San Diego James Beard nominated chef Carl Schroeder formerly of Market Restaurant + Bar

This week on Happy Half Hour, co-hosts Troy Johnson and Jackie Bryant sit with one of San Diego’s most influential chefs, Carl Schroeder. After years at the helm of Market Restaurant + Bar, Schroeder has sold his shares and is stepping back. We talk about the glory days of Market, the early 2000s when “farm-to-table” actually meant something, his start in storied San Francisco kitchens, and why he’s finally ready to trade the pressure of a fine-dining kitchen for time with family (and maybe a pool float).
