Homaro Cantu Charts the Trotter's Family Tree
In the wake of the death of Charlie Trotter Homaro Cantu, chef and owner of Moto and iNG and a well-known veteran of Trotter's kitchen, created this family tree of past chefs, sommeliers, management and servers from the famed restaurant with photos of each.
As Cantu acknowledged on Twitter today, there are plenty of gaps still to be filled in -- including such notable alumni as Curtis Duffy, Mindy Segal and Grant Achatz (however briefly). The tree might also include Trotter's roots, cooking under such culinary luminaries as Gordon Sinclair, Carrie Nahabedian and Norman Van Aken.
It's not nearly complete, but here is the start of the Charlie Trotter Family Tree. Hundreds more to add:) http://t.co/FXywd5jEsx

Depending on how far and deep Cantu goes, this family tree's limbs could spread across the entire country. It's a testament to the influence Trotter had in the culinary world.
