So many stories and simply not enough time. Trish chats with Chef, Author, Consultant, and teacher Norman Van Aken about his culinary journey. Dubbed "Florida's Culinary Icon" by the Jacques Pépin Foundation, Trish learns how Norman went from a short order cook in a diner to creating an American regional cuisine. Norman talks about watching his mother and grandmother cook, but never really thinking he'd ever be a chef. He hitchhiked to Key West at 19, a place that would steal his heart as he found himself going back there a few times in his life. In Key West, he learned not only to cook, but he was introduced to so many flavors, cultures, perspectives, and he calls it a pivotal time for him. He's written several books, won countless awards, and has helped grow non-profit "Get Cooking," which helps food insecure families in Florida.
This interview is full of stories - Norman's adventures, the people he's met, and at the heart - his passion for cooking.

Airis Johnson on "Chopped," what it means to work hard, and writing a book
Airis "The Chef" Johnson joins Trish once again on the podcast! The two catch each other up on what's been going on the last few years. This talented, funny, and 100% real chef talks about being on Food Network's "Chopped" (twice, Champion once!) and what it means to do reality TV. She shares how she's been helping others navigate the waters of reality TV in an effort to help them for their appearances. Airis talks about her work on a new book (not necessarily a COOKbook) and where she got the idea for an adult cartoon - not that kind of adult - just more mature cartoon. The two gripe about culinary mistakes they see others make in the kitchen, they chat about pantry staples, and cooking in general.
