0 December 30, 2025 08:01

Chef Rochelle Daniel of Atria in Flagstaff named her restaurant Atria because she says food is at the heart of life. In this episode, we learn how the Valley native was lured up to the high country to open her restaurant, how the acclaimed chef found love with a top Arizona mixologist, and how eggs should be the foundation of every chef’s repertoire. Chef Rochelle zooms with us from her wine cellar and spills the tea on some major expansions and tells us what she loves to learn from her fellow chefs.
