Dan Barber
Dan Barber (born October 2, 1969) is the chef and co-owner of Family Meal at Blue Hill in Manhattan and Blue Hill at Stone Barns in Pocantico Hills, New York, United States. He is the author of The Third Plate: Field Notes on the Future of Food.
He is a 1992 graduate of Tufts University, where he received a B.A. in English and a graduate of the French Culinary Institute.
Barber operates Family Meal at Blue Hill in Manhattan and Blue Hill at Stone Barns in Pocantico Hills, New York.
Around 2009, Barber was involved in developing a miniature butternut squash. Together with Michael Mazourek, they created the honeynut squash. The two later created and operate Row 7 Seed Company, a seed company selling similar gourds and other specially-bred seeds.
In 2014, he published The Third Plate: Field Notes On the Future of Food in which he describes the development of mankind via food in four episodes: "Soil", "Land", "Sea" and "Seeds".
In May 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Barber launched the resourcED program at both Blue Hill restaurants, which packaged ingredients from the Stone Barns farm and included directions for customers to cook themselves. The boxes were intended to keep the restaurants and their suppliers in business when they couldn't host diners.
In August 2020, Barber announced he would be stepping down from the kitchen of Blue Hill at Stone Barns and Blue Hill in Greenwich Village. The change was anticipated to happen in 2021, with the kitchens being led with a diversity-focused chef-in-residence concept. The new concept was a response to the Black Lives Matter protests bringing attention to structural inequities in the restaurant industry. As of 2022, Barber has returned to cooking at Blue Hill at Stone Barns.
A 2022 Eater article alleged that Barber's Blue Hill at Stone Barns restaurant has a history of abuse toward its employees, a toxic work environment, and other issues, with a focus on Barber being ignorant of an employee's report of sexual assault. Through crisis & reputation management firm Trident DMG, as well as defamation law firm Clare Locke, Blue Hill denied all allegations.
