More Than A Tasting Room • The Proof is in the Food BY: KRISSY NESS • PHOTOS BY: URBAN TOAD MEDIA Justin “Judd” Eskildsen has been cooking for over fifteen years and like most cooks he started at the bottom and worked his way up. With no formal training Eskildsen has proven he has style and talent in the cooking world. He began his journey at a young age in his mom’s kitchen. From there he worked at fast food restaurants and local restaurant Coaches before working his way to Red Bear in Moorhead. After taking a ten-year hiatus from cooking, Eskildsen then spent a year working under Chef Steve Schulz at The Toasted Frog as his Sous-chef. He mentioned that chef Schulz is his biggest local influence, “He never really sat down and taught me things, but he asked questions about dishes our crew would create that would encourage ideas that I already knew, but didn't put much importance in.” Eskildsen stated. The Coteau des Prairies Lodge in Havana, ND hired Eskildsen for his first gig as a stand-aloneChef. He created a 5-course beer dinner featuring Drekker Brewing Co. and it was an immediate hit. He has been called back to do many dinners since then. One of them being the “Tapas and Cocktails” featuring Proof Artisan Distillers before being officially hired as Proof’s head Chef. What an honor it must be to have someone taste your work and immediately want to hire you as their head Chef! 6 / THE GOOD LIFE / urbantoadmedia.com
“I like to have few good drinks, lots of great food, and too many laughs with the people who are close to me! FAMILY! Whether it's my real family, my close friends, my crew or Joel, John and the Minions... I love those people, and being able to have a free day with a group of any of those people is THE definition of The Good Life.” urbantoadmedia.com / THE GOOD LIFE / 7
