#chefspotlight Few chefs have dedicated themselves to a craft quite like Evan Funke.
A master of handmade pasta and a two-time James Beard nominee, Funke has built his career around preserving the traditions of regional Italian cooking — from Bologna to Los Angeles. Through restaurants like Felix and Mother Wolf, he has helped redefine Italian dining in America while staying rooted in old world technique.
Watch Evan’s episode of Chef’s Table on Netflix, and catch his conversation on the Chef’s Table: Talks YouTube channel.

There’s a quiet intensity about Chef Evan Funke (@evanfunke ) that you don’t forget.
His presence is calm but deeply focused. He’s put in the 10,000 hours of rolling pasta (and many times over) and continues to approach his craft every day with discipline, care, and a deep respect for tradition and mentorship.
We talked about pasta, of course-but also about ego, choosing the harder path, and what it really means to build a community inside your restaurant walls. That same mindset shapes how he gives back, supporting organizations like Baby2Baby, Alex’s Lemonade Stand, World Central Kitchen, and No Kid Hungry.
Please enjoy this episode as we go Beyond the Plate… with Chef Evan Funke.
