Mother in the Wild reads "Whetu the Little Blue Duck" by Jennifer Beck

This week I have a short episode with chef Steven Lash, owner of Blue Duck personal chef service. If you haven't heard our full episode yet, you can go back and listen to Episode 107. I really enjoyed that one, and we received a lot of positive feedback.After the outro, I kept recording, and we continued our conversation, which is what you will hear in this episode. We talk about culinary school and education, microgreens, and the foods that Steven won't eat. He shared advice for those looking to start a business, and we discuss who he thinks is underrated in the food world. Let us know what you think. We'd love the feedback.Looking to hire employees for your restaurant? This week's sponsor is Savory Jobs, a job site only for restaurants. For just $50, get unlimited job postings for an entire year.

This week my guest is chef Steven Lash. He's the owner of Blue Duck personal chef service in Georgia. Steven's food combines fine dining with local influences, inspired by his extensive travel, passion for the outdoors, and hunger for understanding cultures. He's a veteran of the restaurant world, having worked in some of the top kitchens in Atlanta for over 15 years. Following the birth of his first daughter, he got out of the restaurant business in order to better support his young family. After a successful 20 year career in information technology, Stephen has returned to his first true passion – feeding people amazing food.While Steven has a great story that I think everyone will enjoy, I know this episode will bring tremendous value to those who are either currently working as personal chefs, or looking to start a personal chef business. There's also some really great advice for anyone who has their own business. We discuss some of my favorite topics such as workflow tips, finding your niche, and free food. We're both big fans of working with AirBnB operators, and people who run vacation rentals. I think this is still an untapped market for those looking to acquire customers on a recurring basis. And I asked Steven about his deposit policy. This is something I've gone back-and-forth with over the past couple years, and I really loved his take on it. I'd love to hear what you think about this episode. What was your biggest takeaway? You can send me an email, DM, or reply to our posts on social media.Looking to hire employees for your restaurant?

Trenton is the executive chef of The Blue Duck in Missouri, USA and comes from humble roots in Arkansas, USA.He openly shares his experiences with us growing up in a challenging household and how certain hardships forced him to grow up quickly and take action to move to St Louis, Missouri with his dad and brothers. Trenton was first introduced to working in a kitchen at KFC and became fascinated and determined to learn the science behind their pressure cooked chicken. We were blown away when Trenton shared with us that his grandfather worked directly with the colonel himself!Learn about Trenton's journey from KFC to The Blue Duck to Hell's Kitchen in just a few short years! He also touches on his aspirations of continuing to mentor other chefs, his advocacy for paying it forward to other chefs in development and his discipline with keeping his work all about the kitchen... cooking his heart out, nothing more/less.This dialogue was very heart felt and down to earth. We can't wait to see what Trenton gets up to in the coming years, as you can just tell he has a very bright future!Trenton's Links:Instagram (@chef_trentongarvey)Hell's Kitchen on Fox (USA)Hell's Kitchen on CityTv (Canada)Getting Jewcy Links:WebsiteWatch This Episode on YouTubeInstagram (@getting_jewcy)Facebook (@gettingjewcy)

This episode features Part Two of my 90-minute conversation with pro-audio executive, Piers Plaskitt. We discuss mentoring, and the importance of paying it forward – which goes back to one of Piers’ earliest jobs as chief engineer at The Beatles’ Apple Studios at 3 Saville Row in London. The episode starts off with Piers’ explanation The post Piers Plaskitt, Pt 2: Be The Blue Duck, Mentoring, Paying it Forward and The Beatles’ Apple Studios in London appeared first on East Main Media.

Season 2. Episode 4. And here’s the question we want to answer for history: In "There's Something About Mary," when Mary Jensen chose that dorky, neurotic, stalker, Ted Stroemann, over the handsome, confident, entrepreneur, Pat Healy, are we sure that she made the right choice? In the summer of 1998, Peter and Bobby Farrelly released a summer comedy that took the world by storm. “There’s Something About Mary” was not only the most successful gag comedy in over a decade, it celebrated the arrival of Ben Stiller and Cameron Diaz as mega-stars. The world smiled, giggle, guffawed and winced as semen and a scrotum were used as props for hysterical effect. In the end, Stiller’s Ted wins the heart of Diaz’s Mary. But along the way, we can’t keep our eyes off of Pat Healy, played by Matt Dillon. Because the final resolution feels so forced and because Dillon is so astoundingly funny and oddly charismatic, it’s almost impossible not to want to revisit the character and Mary's decision. Join co-hosts Matty Wishnow and Kevin Blake as they reflect on the gargantuan success of the film and focus on Dillon’s most enduring, if unlikely, character. With the help of panelists Judd Wishnow and Christian Anthony, we ask: What’s the deal with Matt Dillion, elite bachelor and collector of Cuban vinyl records? Where does semen rank in the arsenal of hairstyle substitutes in an emergency situation? Was Woogie’s suggestion to Ted to “clean the pipes” before his big date good advice? Did Mary choose right in selecting Ted, or would Pat Healy have been a better match? Along the way, we learn a (very) little bit about Matt Dillon, we learn a lot about 1998 and we uncover the unlikely and unnerving truth about Mary’s choice: Pat never had a chance because Mary ultimately wanted a guy with a broken penis to sit around, eat hot dogs and watch SportsCenter with. Special thanks to Quincy, Gabe, Matt & the entire Blue Duck team for editing and sound design.

Season 2. Episode 3: Bad Therapy. And here’s the question we want to answer for history: We know that Frasier is the most decorated sitcom in the history of the Emmys. We know that the show was almost flawlessly written and acted. We know that Frasier and Niles Crane were lovable, learned and pretentious. We know so much about the Crane Brothers. But do we even the slightest idea if they were competent psychotherapists? Frasier and Niles were the flaccid superheroes of 1998. From the Elliot Bay Towers they plotted their takeover of Seattle’s upper crust. They obsessed over methods for dating women two to three leagues above them. They chafed at their father’s no frills common sense. They drank countless lattes and even more sherry. Across nearly 270 episodes, Frasier was mostly perfect and always lovable. That being said, great entertainment can obscure deep and dark mysteries, such as: How was a part time, AM radio therapist able to live like a man with generational wealth? Was Frasier Crane more of a ladies’ man than Jerry Seinfeld and Same Malone? Was he secretly the most testosterone addled, alpha male on TV? Most importantly, over eleven seasons, did either Frasier or Niles even once demonstrate basic competency as a therapist or physician? The more we pull at the thread from Niles’ cardigan, the more the Crane brothers’ story unravels. Join Matty Wishnow, Kevin Blake and panelist, Josh Kaufman, as they determine if Niles and Frasier upheld their Hippocratic oath. A very special thank you to Quincy, Matt, Gabe and the Blue Duck team for editing and sound design.

Season 2 episode 2: On July 20, 1998, Gary Coleman assaulted a fan while shopping for a bulletproof vest for his job as a mall security guard. Was that the saddest day of the saddest post-script in TV history? Moreover, was this the day that Generation X’s childhood officially died? Stick with us on this “very special episode” of Recent Memories as we try to find an ounce of humor in all of this. From 1978 to 1985, Gary Coleman, Todd Bridges, Dana Plato and Conrad Baine were part of TVs most loving and lovable family on “Diff’rent Strokes.” They made us laugh every week and, occasionally in their “very special episodes,” they made us think. But then, when the show ended, things got gruesome. There’s bankruptcy, failed video game arcades, crack and soft-core porn. And, somehow, those are not the darkest hours. Join Matty Wishnow, Kevin Blake and their panelists, Christian Anthony, expert in the jump punch, and Judd Wishnow, expert in the fear of kidnapping, as they search for humanity in this Greek tragedy. The journey inevitably leads us to July 20, 1998 and the fracas that broke out between Coleman and his autograph seeker, wherein we ask: Did Coleman really need a bulletproof vest or was he showing off? What are the mechanics of a “jump punch”? Was Coleman actually the victim of “assault by motorboat”? Was this the formal end of childhood for Generation X? What does this sad affair tell us about the year 1998? Join us as we persevere through the darkness to find just a glimpse of sunlight. Special thanks to Quincy, Gabe, Matt & the entire Blue Duck team for editing and sound design.

Season 2. Episode 1. What was going on in 1998 that prompted men to consume vast amounts of performance enhancing drugs in the bedroom and on the ball field and do any of us have even the slightest clue how those drugs actually work? In the 1980s, we had Reagan, Stallone and Schwarzenegger. In the 90s we had Clinton, Ross and Chandler. In the 80s, men’s suits were sharp in the shoulders and lapels. In the 90s, men wore flannel and loosely draped sweaters. In the 80s, Rock was hard and in the 90s, Matchbox 20 and the Goo Goo Dolls taught us how to Rock really soft. But, in 1998, everything changed. Pfizer launched Viagra, a drug that allowed men with erectile dysfunction to achieve and maintain erections for hours. Simultaneously, major league baseball players began to take performance enhancing drugs in unprecedented volumes. The result was four major leaguers hitting over 50 home runs in the same season while their fathers and grandfathers cheered them on from the stands, with noticeable bulges in their trousers. There is no way that these events -- the launch of Viagra and the dawn of baseball’s steroid era -- are not correlated. Twenty plus years later and now as middle-aged men ourselves, confronting our own declining physical strength, we wanted to understand: 1. What was going on with manhood in 1998? 2. Do any of us have the slightest clue how Viagra and anabolic steroids actually function? Co-hosts Kevin Blake and Matty Wishnow are joined by alpha male panelist, Judd Wishnow, and 4% M.D. panelist, Jason Klein, to help understand the culture and physiology that made 1998 possible. Along the way, we travel from “magenta penis” to Steve Balboni until we finally ask the obvious question: did Matchbox 20 cause the September 11 attacks. A very special "thank you" to Quincy, Matt, Gabe and the Blue Duck team for editing and sound design.

Our guest this week on Industry Night with Foodie and the Beast is Christian Eck, Assistant Food and Beverage Manager and Tea Specialist at Michelin-starred, Blue Duck tavern in Westend DC’s glorious, Park Hyatt Hotel. As well as being Blue Duck Tavern’s tea specialist, Christian is a Certified Sommelier through the Court of Master Sommeliers, so he is able to offer pithy parallels between the farming and production of wines and teas. Even better, he delivers incredible knowledge into the origins and history of tea varieties (Remember that all tea comes from the same plant and leaf – production techniques are what deliver such a range of tea types) and had tons to offer about the tastes and health benefits of the more than 30 varieties he serves at Blue Duck’s unique Tea Cellar, a one-of-a-kind, tea-centric experience here in DC. Join us for a spot of tea, won’t you?

Casey Whittington is the National Director of Government Relations at Blue Duck Scooters, a company offering an innovative transportation alternative through a scooter ridesharing app. They describe themselves as “a tech company that traded their computers for scooters.” Casey Whittington was raised in San Antonio, Texas. He attended the University of Texas at San Antonio and earned a BS in Political Science and Government. While in school he worked as an intern at The DeBerry Group, a public relations firm, and also worked full-time as a bartender. He also served for six years as the Senior Account Executive at The Whittington Group, a strategic communications firm based in Texas that he founded with his father. Casey serves as the Vice Chairman of the San Antonio Planning Commission. “Pick something you are passionate about and go volunteer your time for free. Everyone has a couple of hours a week. Go sit on a city board or commission. Go volunteer and see how you can influence public policy.” In Casey Whittington's role at Blue Duck, he leverages his experience in public relations and government affairs. Blue Duck's scooters are similar to razor scooters, but have a small motor, providing an alternative to rideshare bikes and traditional forms of transportation.   Blue Duck takes an innovative approach to the scooter industry- they ask for permission before dropping scooters in a city, as opposed to asking for forgiveness later. For Casey, collaboration with city officials is key to success. Blue Duck is developing an internship program where you will gain "on the ground" experience, getting involved in real issues.  Casey discusses two wonderful programs, Morgan's Wonderland, and Kinetic Kids, where he volunteers his time.

Today, he is a chef/partner with Lettuce Entertain You, running RPM Italian and RPM Steak in conjunction with celebrity couple Bill and Giuliana Rancic; Christian Eck is assistant food and beverage manager and tea specialist at the Park Hyatt’s Blue Duck Tavern.

Food Rescue Hero’s Leah Lizarondo tells us how it works; Chef Alvin Dela Cruz is the chef de cuisine at the Westend Bistro in the Ritz-Carlton Washington and a legend in the making. He’s introducing tasty new treats at the Westend and he’s in to tell us all about them; Valor Brewpub is a veteran-inspired restaurant and brewery just across the street from the 8th and I Marine Barracks. Valor makes it a point to employ veterans, use veteran-owned products and support veteran causes, donating 10% each time a veteran organization or non-profit hosts an event there. Greg Maddrey, the brewmaster, is in today with a taste of Valor.
