On The Road With Chef Todd Stein

Chef Todd Stein

Corporate Executive Chef
Davidson Restaurant Group
This trip was a bit out of the ordinary, but truly an exciting way to spend a few days in Boston. Paperback Tavern one of Davidson Restaurant Groups’ newest restaurants has recently opened. I was going to oversee a photo shoot of food and beverage. Landing in Boston is always a treat, as you have about 3/4 of a mile to walk between plane and where a ride service can pick you up. From there I arrived at the Hyatt Regency in Cambridge. I have been here 4 out of the last 5 weeks, so it truly feels like home, as Sherrone at the front desk is once again checking me in.

This photo shoot is truly about Chef Janice Sandoval and the food she is creating. Paperback Tavern is a great representation of a modern American tavern, in which we like to have a little fun. There are tasty things, like lobster deviled eggs, and tater tots with cumin-truffle cream. We were very lucky to have Andrew Lee shooting the photos. He has done photography for The Wayward at the Canopy hotel in Philadelphia, among other projects for us. He is extremely talented and really captures the scene well. In addition, he has done photography for several best-selling cookbooks!
