I took a few minutes to ramble on what I've been up to lately. A little family vacation and a couple of weeks traveling for work. Shout outs to the crews at Certified Angus Beef, Daniel & Diana Clark and Wes Zimmerman in particular, and Broadleaf Game- Mark, Annie & Tim Mitchell. Thank you to all of you that helped educate me and help me gain knowledge in my field... Also for feeding me a lot of kick ass meals during the time I got to spend with each of your teams! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/intothefryer/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/intothefryer/support

On July 20, 2019 I was given the opportunity to speak in honor of a great human being, Henry "Hawk" Levendusky. Hawk was the father of one of my best friends, David Levendusky, and through the almost 35 years that I knew Hawk he treated me like one of the family. David had asked me to read the beautiful words he'd written and to account in my own words the memories I had with his father. This is the recording of that. I was completely humbled and honored to be able to use my voice and memories as a conduit for my friend and his wonderful family. Hawk was one of the best people I've ever known and I am a better man for having had him in my life. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/intothefryer/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/intothefryer/support

I was joined awhile back by my good friend and brother from another mother, Jeff Foehr. We had talked about getting back together and furthering our food and life discussion, but after I listened to our conversation several times I decided we had a pretty great chat. Jeff shared some great stories and we had some great laughs. His love for food and the food industry really come through. I hope you enjoy this episode. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/intothefryer/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/intothefryer/support

Yolanda has such a fascinating story. I was completely in awe of her honesty, candor and willingness to share about some very intimate details of her life. From the loss of her grandmother when she was seventeen to the ups and downs of motherhood. Her story is an inspiring one and she definitely knows where she is heading.

I had a freaking blast taking with Chef Jordan Miller in the first live episode of the podcast.

I can't begin to tell you how excited I am and how on fire I am with life!!! I have been formulating and marinating an idea for a documentary for a little while and it is coming to fruition. American Food will examine the lives of immigrant workers in the restaurant & food industries. My plan is to bring to light the people behind the scenes and behind the food that we eat on a daily basis in our favorite establishments. I want to dispel the myths that immigrant workers are taking jobs from people and actually how vital immigration is to our economy. I hope you get a sense of how passionate I am on this topic and join me on the journey. If you like this or any episodes of the podcast remember to subscribe.

Please enjoy the third and final segment of the conversation with my good friend, Cori Cauble.  I purposely left off an intro to this segment, because hey...what more can I say to introduce her.  I mean, really, this is the third segment(that's a little tongue & cheek, if you're wondering).  However, if I could offer a suggestion...Go back to part 1 and listen from start to finish.  I feel it's the best way to take it all in and get the most out of our conversation.  Cori's journey is an incredible one of perseverance, discovery and reinvention.  My hope is that the rest of you will find her as fascinating and intriguing as I do. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/intothefryer/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/intothefryer/support

This is part 2 of 3 of the interview I did with long time friend, Cori Cauble. Nowadays, Cori is a personal coach, pattern healer and Kundalini yoga instructor. In this portion of the interview we cover many things Long Beach like Jack of None and how we possibly crossed paths well before I turned 20. However, most importantly we discussed how she used her life's experiences to get her where she's at today. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/intothefryer/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/intothefryer/support

Cori is a long time friend of mine.  We met when I was about 20 years old and have been friends ever since.  We had a brief stint as co-workers that  we'll talk about, but most of the time I've known her has been as a friend.  She is a pattern healer, wellness guide as well as a Kundalini yoga instructor.  I've always enjoyed talking with her and this conversation is no different.  We spent over two hours talking.  Trust me when I say that we could have spent a great deal more time chatting it up.  She has a wonderful soul, a great perspective on life and is just an overall beautiful human being.  If you want to find out more about what she does and who she is visit her website: coricauble.com  Due to the length of our chat I am breaking this conversation up into three parts.  I hope you enjoy part 1. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/intothefryer/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/intothefryer/support

I had an absolute blast talking with Allison! She is making big waves on the culinary scene in NYC. At 28 she has had a wealth of experience and has a great overall sense of her own direction. I’m going to say that you all will be hearing about her for years to come as she has set the bar pretty high for herself. If you ask me...I have no doubt she’ll become a household name for many years to come.

Kajsa is someone that I've known for quite some time. She is an incredible chef and just an all around awesome person! I've had the pleasure of working a few charity events over the years, but this is really the first opportunity to talk at length one on one. We jump around on several topics because I wanted to be respectful of her time, but in all honesty I could have talked to her for many more hours. The more we talked the more I found myself wanting to know more!

This is the 5th year I'm participating in the fund raising efforts of the Movember Foundation. My hope is that we, men, as a whole can start to make ourselves more vulnerable and open to discussing our health issues. I feel strongly about this campaign for reasons that I reveal during the course of this episode. So let's help kick testicular cancer in the balls and prostate cancer in the arse! Let's start taking care of one another mentally and spiritually.

Dawn is someone I've known for a long time. Her story and her journey are truly remarkable!
