Josh Anton, Executive Chef
embrace, Hinsdale, IL
www.embraceyourstyle.com

A graduate of the Illinois Institute of Art, Josh Anton has always had a passion for cooking. It wasn’t until he was two and a half years into college that he decided to turn his passion for cooking into a career. Josh found himself in his current position at embrace after successful stints as sous chef at Jilly’s Italian Steakhouse in Chicago and 48 West, a contemporary wine bar, in Grand Rapids, MI.

ABC7Chicago.com describes embrace as a “lifestyle boutique and wine cafe in suburban Hinsdale. It combines cutting-edge, trend-setting retail with a one-of-a-kind dining experience. embrace fuses fashion with a casual, chic restaurant.” The article goes on to say, “If you want to dine instead of shop, embrace offers a bistro where you can sit at a colorful, mosaic-tiled communal dinner table, in a fabric-enclosed dining lounge, or at one of the richly stained wood tables. embrace presents an impressive wine list with boutique selections and the menu ranges from grilled paninis and fresh salads to enticing entrees such as sautéed West Coast Halibut, Rack of Lamb and Pappardelle.”

“I love to order unique and seasonal fish from Plitt,” Josh says. Josh is currently working seasonal halibut from Alaska into one of his favorite menu items, curried halibut with tomato-cardamom reduction and watercress salad. Hamachi, another grand fish, is featured on his menu; he prepares a black sesame-crusted hamachi with a saracha thai basil smashed potato and avocado citrus puree.

Josh has always been a seafood fan and has fond childhood memories of fishing in Michigan-catching plenty of catfish that he loved cooking up. Today, his cooking methods have matured; he describes his style as “contemporary American, with Italian, French, and Asian influences.” In fact, if Josh could travel anywhere in the world for a seafood adventure, his dream destination would be Northern Italy-where his family roots originate.

When asked if he had any specific comments about his Plitt Sales Representative, Josh responded without hesitation, “Dan Mullen is quite knowledgeable about Plitt’s products and he always has helpful and cost-effective recommendations. He takes into account if a specific preparation I am considering will complement a particular product from Plitt.”

Most of the kids came from the other side of the state to be with them. Michael just graduated from U of M and is heading to South Carolina to complete his degree to be a Chiropractor and Elizabeth is finishing her last 2 semesters at Western and she will be a R.N.
