Loaded Baked Potato

Chef Christopher Anderson

Loaded Baked Potato by Michelin-starred Chef Christopher Anderson.

I would love to highlight my collaboration with Chicago-based magician Jeanette Andrews who has developed custom plateware for me, including the Balancing Glass used in this dish.

“It has been exciting to use my 22-year background as a magician and artist to be able to contribute to designing plating concepts for Chef Christopher Anderson. Here, we were interested in trying to find a dynamic and visual way to illustrate the delicate balance of flavors in the soup by balancing the service piece on its edge in real-time for the diner.” – Jeanette Andrews
