It is a new year, and Le Creuset has teamed up with 30A Eats once again to bring you Chef Adam Yellin from Local Catch Bar & Grill on 30A in Blue Mountain Beach, who will demo one of my favorite menu presentations, his Pork Nachos. Chef Yellin will be showcasing his culinary talents at the Le Creuset Silver Sands Premium Outlet location at 6pm on January 27th,  demonstrating the proper technique of braising  pork and preparing the pork nachos and tacos that will be topped with the freshest ingredients. He has a few other recipes and tips up his sleeve, and will be doing a random giveaway of Local Catch Bar & Grill hats and t-shirts too! They are super cute. I have one.

Chef Yellin hails from New Orleans, and quickly moved up the ranks in the culinary world after attending the University of Alabama. He was in pre-med, but switched to restaurant and hospitality management, as he could work in food establishments and get credit for school. While in Tuscaloosa, he began in dishwashing at Depalma’s, a popular Italian restaurant, but rose to other positions, learning the back of the house, as well as the front.

Yellin drove to San Diego, where he went on to manage restaurants with the Catalina Restaurant Group, before becoming the manager of World Famous, serving California coastal cuisine by the water’s edge. It was there that he decided his passion was in cooking food, rather than managing, so he pursued his dream by graduating at the top of his class in 2009 from Le Cordon Blue, Austin, Texas.

Chef Yellin has held positions in South Walton at the former Restaurant Fire location at Gulf Place, The Old Florida Fish House, and Commander’s Palace in New Orleans. His style has unfolded to be one that specializes in traditional seafood techniques and West Coast creations, mixing Baja Mexican flavors with classic Southern cuisine. “By studying different cultures, I’ve put together a fusion of flavorful food,” Yellin says.
