It’s not every day that you see a Catholic priest working in the kitchen of a restaurant but Father Leo Patalinghug isn’t your typical priest.
Based in Baltimore, Patalinghug is a radio and TV host — one of those programs is “Savoring Our Faith” in which the priest "talks food and faith" on EWTN. He is also an award-winning chef.
In 2009, Patalinghug was crowned the winner of the cooking competition “Throwdown with Bobby Flay” on the Food Channel. From there, he went on to start his food truck initiative called Plating Grace and Grub, and recently opened a new restaurant in downtown Baltimore called Gastro Social.
