996: Sam Hart Chef and Owner of Counter

<p>Sam Hart is the Chef/Owner of Counter in Charlotte, North Carolina. The first time Sam cooked for others was when he was 21 living in Utah after door-to-door mormons came knocking and looked hungry. He then decided to ditch the advertising industry and go to culinary school at 21. He staged at Alinea in Chicago and worked in many other restaurants in many positions before returning to his home town of Charlotte and opening Counter just two years ago. He has since opened Biblio and is planning his third concept.</p> <p>Unstoppables!
