We are always excited to have new restaurants participate in Taste Our Terroir. We couldn\u2019t be more curious to try 1300 Fillmore\u2019s executive chef and owner David Lawrence\u2019s pairing with Longevity Wines. David grew up in London with Jamaican parents, was French-trained and southern-inspired. So you know the food will be as dynamic as he is. His San Francisco restaurant is a testament to fresh food that brings an experience of warmth, vibrancy and a sense of belonging to its guests. Here we learn more about his inspiration and the man behind the iconic restaurant.<\/p>\n

1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 When did you first know you wanted to be a chef?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I knew at thirteen years old that I was going to be a chef. I spent more time watching Graham Keer, of the Galloping Gourmet, than football (aka: soccer).<\/p>\n

2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 What is terroir to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Terroir to me is a place, land or territory that is set by it\u2019s uniqueness.<\/p>\n

3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Favorite pairing?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Duck and Pinot Noir is my favorite pairing. I love the fatty flavor of duck without it being heavy or overbearing and the same with a good Pinot Noir.<\/p>\n

4)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 What is the biggest challenge in food and wine pairing?<\/strong><\/p>\n

When I was less experienced, the pairing was always about the food.\u00a0 Then a good friend of mine, Martin Kraus, who worked the front of the house, said to me \u201cDavid, the wine is already made, so make the food to compliment the wine.\u201d These are the words I live by twenty years later.<\/p>\n

5)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Red or White?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both.<\/p>\n

6)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Favorite meal of the day?<\/strong><\/p>\n

At home my favorite meal is brunch. In a restaurant my favorite meal is dinner.<\/p>\n

7)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Go to meal to make?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A black skillet roasted catfish with andouille sausage and shrimp jambalaya, served with a cornbread panzanella salad. It is my favorite dish at 1300 on Fillmore.<\/p>\n

8)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If you could pick one person to cook for you, who would it be?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I would pick my mentor, Albert Roux of Le Gavroche in London. I still construct dishes the way he taught me thirty years ago.<\/p>\n

9)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 One ingredient you couldn\u2019t live without?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Water. For me it is \u201cthe source of life.\u201d<\/p>\n

10)\u00a0 \u00a0Three words that describe you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tall, dark and \u2026\u2026\u2026..?<\/p>\n
