Watch Kevin Gillespie Get Philosophical

Here, Atlanta chef Kevin Gillespie talks family, tradition, memories, and making dishes your own. He says, "If you want to be an innovator, if you want to be a person who modernizes and changes things and grows them, that you can't do that unless you have a very firmly-rooted appreciation for what came beforehand." As a bonus, Gillespie's granny makes an appearance.
