Food media is blowing up, yet entire communities are left out of the conversation. Food is the best way to get to know each other and cultures outside of our own, and it's important that everyone has a seat at the table to tell their story. Food writer and photographer Korsha Wilson created A Hungry Society to foster more diverse and inclusive conversations about the culinary world. Each week, Korsha looks critically at the current state of the food world and welcomes guests to discuss the role of food in their lives.

In this special episode, I chat with chef Erick Williams, owner and executive chef at Virtue Restaurant & Bar in Chicago’s Hyde Park neighbourhood. Williams is a Chicago native with a storied career, and this year was named a semifinalist for the James Beard Foundation Award: Best Chef Midwest. On the show we talk about why Chicago is such a great food town, Erick’s unique path and inspiration for his cooking, and what he hopes diners walk away with after they eat at Virtue. Note: this show was recorded in March before restaurants and businesses nationwide shut down because COVID-19 and if we sound happier about the state of things it’s because we were. I hope you will listen to this episode and support independent restaurants like Virtue who need your help now more than ever.
