In the kitchen, Rōze Traore is the genuine article. After going to culinary school in Portland, Oregon, he worked in the back of the house at two of New York’s best restaurants: Nomad and Eleven Madison Park. In other words, the guy can cook. A few years ago, he set out on his own, starting a catering and events business that puts together meals for luxury clients. He now stages a five-course-dinner series called Art That Money Can’t Buy. “At the table you have everyone from all different medium…

What do you buy for the guy who doesn’t have everything but insists he needs nothing? I’m referring to dads, of course.

Professionally, the mid-’90s was an in-between moment for the actor.
