This week on Extra Serving, a podcast from Nation's Restaurant News, we're sharing the first of many conversations we had with restaurant experts in Chicago at the National Restaurant Association Show this spring.As always, the Show was widely attended by vendors, operators, and — luckily for all who now get to enjoy this conversation — social-media stars. Today, we're sharing a chat between our editor-in-chief Sam Oches and Sam “the Cooking Guy” Zien. Sam the Cooking Guy attended his first-ever restaurant show to receive NRN's MenuMasters Award for Digital Innovation, so he sat down to talk about why his intended travel channel never came to be, why he keeps his content simple and straightforward, and how he translated social media work to operating restaurants in San Diego's Little Italy.Enjoy the conversation, and keep coming back for more tidbits and insights from Chicago.

(February 6, 2024 - Hour Two)10:14pm - A new month brings a new visit from our pal, Sam The Cooking Guy. Did you know that Sam has a new grilling book coming out this Spring? Yes, indeed he does. It has been going crazy on Amazon for pre-orders, so much so, that at some point it was rated as the #1 BBQ/Grilling book on the Amazon site! We'll talk about what's in it, how many more books he has in him and something else that was truly special to me regarding this project! Please take the previous paragraph with a grain of salt...there's a very good chance that we don't actually talk about any of that during the segment either!10:35pm - *****THIS SEGMENT DIDN'T END UP HAPPENING - TECHNICAL ISSUE*****The BBQ Central Show SponsorsPrimo GrillsPitts & Spitts BBQ Pits - Use "charcoalcentral" at checkout for $150 Off Charcoal GrillsBig Poppa Smokers – Use promo code “REMPE” for $10 off your purchase of $50 or more!FireboardCookin PelletsPit Barrel CookerFranklin BBQ PitsThe Butcher Shoppe - Save 10% When You Mention "The BBQ Central Show"JRE Tobacco – Makers of the Aladino (and other) line of premium cigars!

So much has happened since we last got together in September of 2023. Sam has been to Korea, Mexico and celebrated 2 major holidays to close the year out. All the while, he has been pumping out great content on his world famous YouTube Channel. There is a fine chance that we extend into the :35past segment as well as there is so much to talk about tonight!10:35pm - Who knows if there will be any time left or not, but if there is, we might get an in-studio visit from Division 2 football superstar Quinton Posey from the Seton Hill University Griffins. Quinton, a defensive back for the Griffins, is coming off his best year to date and looks to get one more season in before he hangs up the spikes for good!

On this special encore episode of the pod, we present an interview worth a second, or perhaps your first, listen. Our special guest, who lives in San Diego, California, via Vancouver & Toronto, is Sam Zien, aka Sam the Cooking Guy, who shares his remarkable and inspiring journey to over 3.6 Million subscribers on YouTube, three restaurants and six cookbooks and a great line of merchandise now It is a generous interview. Sam has a lot of insight from his rich life as a food entrepreneur and popular food media personality. You can visit Sam athttps://www.youtube.com/@samthecookingguyAbout SamSam the Cooking Guy is an everyday guy – me (I have 15 Emmys… just thought I would drop that one in) – who has found a way to make cooking casually understandable. With no fancy equipment and by speaking English instead of ‘chef-speak,' I'm sort of the everyman of cooking. I have two shows, the TV show SAM THE COOKING GUY airs on YUR VIEW with COX, and my online show, STCGO. Both are shot right in my house – and I cook with my kids, dogs – just like we all do. There's no fois gras… no white truffle oil, no ‘Peruvian mountain-raised squab in sesame-lime-soy marinade stuffed with braised forest turnips and wild enoki mushrooms in a hand pressed plum and raspberry glaze'. I'm just a regular guy, using regular words showing how to cook easy, great food… Food that's ‘big in taste and small in effort'. It's a handful of ingredients and a few steps – that's it. This is a cooking show “for the rest of us,” I like to say.“For too long now TV chefs have tried to ‘impress' with their food & style. But a ton of ingredients and a ton of steps just winds up with people saying they can't cook. And it's not that they can't cook – it's that they don't because they think it's too hard. So isn't it time someone made cooking easy?”— SamAbout UsDr. Sylvain Charlebois is a Professor in food distribution and policy in the Faculties of Management and Agriculture at Dalhousie University in Halifax.

@rolandsfoodcourt with @gennaro.pecchia @paulofcharsky Time for summer drinking & eating...This week we have both hobbies covered. We cheers with the newest hot drink out @canpagnewineco Luckily we got to taste test all 3 flavors on-air with co-founders @ovidbattat & #daviddeforges a couple of sharp certified sommeliers who paired up with the badass brewing leaders @shortsbrewing #Canpagne is a rosé made from 100% California grapes & is a beautiful pale salmon color with a hint of tropical fruit & red berry on the nose. Beautiful bubbles & refreshing acidity make for a lively mouthfeel & an excellent choice for food pairings & sparkling wine-based cocktails like Mimosas & Bellinis. #jointhecanpagne We then dive into the 5th cookbook by one of our favorite Gents who can mix food & fun like no other! We celebrate the launch of #betweenthebuns with restaurateur, cooking personality & author @thecookingguy In #samzien hands, every burger, taco, tortilla, and sandwich is as cheesy, toasty, dripping-with-good-stuff as possible. Between the Buns is an ode to the handheld in every iteration from a man who knows how to stuff a perfect burrito. Zien has made cooking accessible to the masses―with 3 million subscribers and growing―through his @youtube show, Sam the Cooking Guy. Now that same charm has been translated to the page, complete with stunning photographs & 100 unapologetically carb-laden recipes that promise to satisfy.

Producer Jessica's husband was excited for Mother's Day this year after he saw Sam the Cooking Guy make pancakes in an Instant Pot and thought he could do the same. Producer Jessica was worried it wouldn't go quite as planned. Guess who was right?!?!

“I don't know, but I'll figure it out”. 20 years ago, these were the words murmured by an unfilled-at-the-time Sam Zien to his wife after he quit his job as a biotech operator. It was then that he realized that something in his life didn't feel right. One morning, now unemployed, Sam recalls watching “one of the worst cooking segments” on a local San Diego channel when the idea came to him; launch a cooking show. Only problem? Sam didn't know how to cook. Today, Sam Zien, is known as “Sam The Cooking Guy”. He is quickly approaching 3,500,000 YouTube channel subscribers while his 5th cookbook “Sam The Cooking Guy: Between The Buns” comes out this May. On this episode of The Courageous Podcast, Sam shares how he went from averaging $8,000 a year over his first two years to becoming the Emmy-Award winning playful personality many of us have come to love today. Enjoy.

For those who just like Sam…here you go!! Enjoy!!

(February 1, 2022 – Hour Two) 10:14pm – Leading off the 2nd hour is YouTube sensation, cookbook author and regional celebrity to Southern California with 15 Emmy's to his credit, Sam The Cooking Guy. Tonight we will lead off the segment by playing “What Does Sam Like Best” and the winner will receive something really neat! After the game, Sam and I will talk about the upcoming release of his new book “Between The Buns” and also take a lookin to his 6th book which is starting to come together as we speak. Sam will give us a peak into what that side of the business looks like. 10:35pm – Since I am not sure how long the segment before this one is going to go, I am reserving some time at the end of the show to reveal the latest BBQ Central Show animation of one of the most popular and talked about segments of the show “The Meathead Pineapple Take”. Great all on its own but even better thanks to Damian Rodriguez and his incredible animation skills!! At just 17 years old, Damian has an incredible future as a contract animator or, frankly, whatever he wants to do in that realm. If you want something animated you should email me for his info and grab him while you can still afford him. I am looking into getting many more bits of the show done before someone grabs him up for good!!
