Unfortunately, Chang Che ‘13 won’t be able to travel back to Greenhills for his 10th reunion this June. He’ll be on deadline as usual in Seoul, South Korea. Che launched his journalism career in 2020 as a freelance writer in Shanghai, covering technology and politics in a region undergoing radical change. At the time, Che had completed a masters degree in philosophy at the University of Oxford and was considering moving onto a Ph.D. program.
The slogan for Ben Eisendrath’s home and restaurant grill company, Grillworks, is “Argentine Inspired, American Made.” His elaborate live-fire grills, which are manufactured in northern Michigan and have been featured in Bon Appetit and the New York Times, form the centerpiece of restaurants by such A-list chefs as José Andrés, Dan Barber, and Danny Meyer. In a conversation with the alumni office, Ben shared more about his path since Greenhills, how changing the way we grill became his mission, and his stealth foodie forays around the world.
