EP 60: Jamie Bissonnette

On this episode of *Hospitality On The Rise*, Chef Jamie Bissonnette, Founding Partner of BCB3 Hospitality, shares his journey from a punk-rock-loving teenager to a James Beard Award–winning chef. He opens up about the humbling lessons that shaped his early career and his shift from high-profile global ventures to more personal, passion-driven concepts—Somaek, Temple Records, and Zurito—where he’s reconnecting with creativity through home-style Korean cooking and intimate, record-spinning bars. Jamie’s story highlights the value of slowing down, prioritizing mental health in the kitchen, and leading with intention to create a truly supportive hospitality culture.
