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.

Sam Block on something new at America's Test Kitchen, paint by numbers, and definition of success
There's a reason Sam Block has been on this podcast 4 times now - not only is she an absolute delight, but there's a natural familiarity when it comes to Sam and Trish... like they've known each other for years.
Sam fills us in on what she's been up to lately, which includes some very exciting things at America's Test Kitchen. It's a project Sam is excited about and one that allows for creativity and learning. She also said she picked up a little side hustle - waiting tables at an Irish pub and she calls it a game changer.
The two discuss cooking and baking, paint by numbers (Sam is more disciplined than Trish), and what "success" means to both of them. It's fun, sweet and lovely podcast between a couple of pals who met through this podcast and have developed a pretty great friendship.
