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.
