Colby became a chef because of a soccer injury. While on the mend, the executive chef of Chi Spacca turned to the Food Network for entertainment, tuning in to watch Mario Batali in action. “Back then,” he recalls, “it was like going to culinary school.”
In a full-circle development, Colby eventually joined the opening team of Osteria Mozza, owned by Nancy Silverton, Joe Bastianich and, that’s right, Mario Batali. Chi Spacca is the trio’s latest project, which showcases Colby’s charcuterie. At home, however, Colby craves pasta, like the recipe for Spaghetti with Clams he shared with the latest edition of the Sous Chef Series.
