“Eating is an agricultural act.” Wendell Berry
Phillip Becht is a long time Minneapolis chef, waiter and bar man and has worked in numerous local venerable restaurants such as the Loring Cafe, lamented and loved by the theater, music and arts community for many years, where he worked with many of today’s best Twin cities chefs. Other notable places that Phillip has worked include The Grand Café, Rockstar, the Modern Cafe where they redefined comfort food in Northeast Mpls and the Birchwood Café , a model of independent and community centered restaurants. Phillip has appeared in many publications and was featured in the top rated Food Network show, Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.
While Phillip has had the very good luck to work with many of today’s most notable Minneapolis chefs it is Steven Brown that has made the most important impact on Phillip, as a mentor and teacher but also as a dear friend and source of inspiration.
Phillip lives in a state of constant amazement and gratitude with his family, Sarah and Hugo and the animals in New Brighton.
