Because chefs are the "rock stars of the restaurant world" or some such, Birmingham chef Frank Stitt swaps Q&A questions with local musician Duquette Johnston. Says Stitt on musical influences in his cooking: "Maybe way, way subconsciously, whether it's Brandenburg Concertos or Tom Waits — the music might provoke something on a deep level, but when working with new dishes, I focus on the ingredients, the season, perhaps a historical or cultural perspective."
