For most of the year, Abby Cheshire teaches culinary arts for Florida Virtual School. And when school lets out, she works her summer job. But she's not delivering groceries or leading arts and crafts at daycamp like many teachers. The Brevard County native works as a chef on a private yacht. She shares her high-seas adventures with her more than 1 million TikTok followers, who know her as Abby in the Galley.And now she's sharing her recipes, too. Chef Abby's new cookbook is Passport to Flavor: 100 Global Dishes You can Make Anywhere. And she literally means anywhere. When she's aboard the yacht, Abby is limited to working with whatever food and equipment she has on hand. Abby recently chatted with us about the highs and lows of cooking on the high seas.
Why do you see so much Australian Wagyu in the U.S.—and what does it actually mean for the beef you're buying?We go to sit down with Jesse Chiconi of 4C Consultancy for a beginner-friendly deep dive into Australian Wagyu.

No hype. Just straight-up Wagyu education—so you can shop smarter, cook better, and understand what's on your plate.

I met Matt years ago when Ideal Nutrition was just getting started. At the time, they had a single location in West Palm Beach offering healthy, grab-and-go meal packages designed to make eating well easier. We talked about potential partnerships between FROPRO and Ideal Nutrition and I was grateful for the opportunity to have our products sold and shared with the West Palm community.What began as one store and a small kitchen quickly evolved into something much bigger—a large production facility, multiple store locations, and even a fleet of delivery vehicles connecting the community with healthy, high-quality, and fairly priced food options. Before entrepreneurship, Matt spent many years serving the West Palm community in law enforcement. One of the young men who came to train and work with him shared a passion for healthy eating, and as Matt's time as a public servant came to an end, he and Wolfgang began working together to grow and enhance Ideal Nutrition. In a crowded space with plenty of competition, they knew they had something special that other brands couldn't quite replicate.Their brick-and-mortar locations quickly became more than just places to pick up meals—they became spaces where people could walk in, ask questions, and get real, practical guidance about their food choices. It wasn't just about the food; it was about the connection and the time spent with the people they served. Matt and I talked about his transition from public servant to entrepreneur, the “fake it till you make it” mentality, the endless time, effort, and sweat equity required to build a business, and the challenges and rewards of growing a company while raising a family.If you haven't tried their meals yet, do yourself a FLAVOR and give them a shot. I'm a big fan of their breakfast burrito (and many others), and I promise you won't be disappointed. You can find them at www.idealnutritionnow.com or on Instagram @idealnutritionnow.We hope you enjoy the show—and their delicious, high-quality food.

Liguria Italy is often reduced to a handful of famous images: pastel houses clinging to cliffs, glamorous yachts bobbing in Portofino, hikers threading their way between the villages of the Cinque Terre. But as this conversation on my Flavor of Italy podcast reveals, Liguria Italy is far richer, deeper, and more nuanced than its postcard reputation suggests. In this episode, I spoke with Anna Merulla, co-founder of Beautiful Liguria, a locally based travel company created to tell the story of Liguria Italy from the inside out. What emerges is a portrait of a region that rewards curiosity, slower travel, and a willingness to step beyond the obvious.

In this episode of The Bourbon Lens Podcast, Jake and Scott travel to Clermont, Kentucky to sit down with Alex Bowie, Director of Homeplace Experiences at the James B. Beam Distilling Co. The conversation was recorded on location in Beam's brand-new podcast studio, with Bourbon Lens receiving early access to the space for an exclusive insider look. While working through a few first-day kinks in the new studio, Jake and Scott explore what makes the Beam Homeplace experience unique and dive into the current and upcoming whiskey innovations coming out of the James B. Beam Distilling Co. Alex shares insight into how Beam approaches storytelling, hospitality, and innovation while honoring generations of bourbon-making tradition. A major focus of the episode is the debut of the Hardin's Creek Warehouse Series, a new limited collection designed to showcase how different warehouse environments shape bourbon flavor. The discussion breaks down how rickhouse design, height, and microclimate influence maturation—even when all other production variables remain the same. The episode wraps with a look at Beam's newly announced partnership with the Cadillac Formula One Team, set to debut during Cadillac's inaugural 2026 F1 season, highlighting Beam's expanding global presence and crossover into motorsports culture. Hardin's Creek Warehouse Series: Release Details A New Chapter in Hardin's Creek Innovation The Hardin's Creek Warehouse Series is a limited, three-part collection that builds on the brand's experimental roots. Following the 2023 Kentucky Series—which explored terroir across multiple Beam campuses—this release isolates a single variable: the warehouse itself. Each bourbon uses the same mash bill and production process, allowing the aging environment to take center stage. As Freddie Noe, Eighth Generation Master Distiller at the James B. Beam Distilling Co., explains, the Warehouse Series demonstrates how maturation environments alone can dramatically shape flavor. The Three Warehouse Expressions Warehouse R – "The Mushroom" Aged in a single-story, windowless warehouse Cool, dark conditions similar to a forest floor Flavor profile emphasizes deep oak influence and toasted sweetness 55% ABV (110 proof), 11 years old Warehouse W – "The Beaver" Aged in a nearly 100-year-old, five-story rickhouse near a creek Produces a balanced bourbon with lighter oak smoke and depth 55% ABV (110 proof), 11 years old Warehouse G – "The Owl" Aged in a towering nine-story warehouse Results in layered aromatics and increased complexity 55% ABV (110 proof), 11 years old Each bottle features artwork by surrealist artist Max Loeffler, using symbolic characters and hidden design elements to tell the story of each warehouse environment.

Gert Christiaens loved the beers of Oud Beersel so much that he couldn't abide the brewery closing in 2003. So, he bought the brewery, learned to brew, and for the past 20 years has focused on preserving the legacy of traditional oude gueuze and kriek. But that mission to preserve doesn't mean sealing beers in a time capsule. Instead, it involves finding new ways to make these classic styles relevant to drinkers wherever they may be—from the Senne Valley to South America. In this episode, Christiaens discusses: learning how to produce beer in order to continue the lambic and gueuze tradition the challeges of producing oude kriek with Schaerbeekse cherries the four main phases of lambic fermentation micro-oxygenation through wood-aging the impact of wood and barrel types on culture centering blends with refined components incorporating interesting and localized ingredients such as Chilean peppers and Japanese bamboo leaf as bridges between cultures protecting the definition of oude gueuze and oude kriek And more.

This was a year of contradictions in drinks. Structural headwinds collided with real momentum — and the brands that grew weren't following old rules. They were aligning with how people actually drink, shop, and spend today.In this special year-end episode, Erica Duecy, Scott Rosenbaum, and Caroline Lamb break down the biggest forces reshaping the drinks industry — across alcohol, non-alc, functional, and THC — and what they signal for growth heading into 2026.

Let you light, my fellow Christians, so shine before all mankind, that all may see your good works, know what you believe, and glorify not you, but:HIM.Whether word or deed, a deed seems to be more lasting and effective than a word in so many ways. Flavor this world with Christian love and forgiveness (salt) and let your light so shine before men. Let it shine brighter than ever.EDUCATE. Now comes a radical, woke, progressive agenda seeking to transform, really destroy so much of America, a culture, system, and group of priorities which is thoroughly and completely:ANTI-AMERICAN.It is wrong. Say so and stand up.YOU. Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. Care for it, nurture it, preserve it. Live healthy as God would intend and respectfully in the flesh that God has given you.PRAYER. Pray without ceasing. Be guided by the Holy Spirit. Pray always, everywhere. Live in a prayerful environment, where the Holy Spirit rules and you are in constant communication, prayerful communication with your Lord Jesus Christ. Prayer works wonders, whether it comes from the closet, all alone, even with groanings which are interpreted by the Holy Spirit, or in mass assemblies. God hears and answers HIS WAY, at His time, and always for your good.THANKS. In all things give thanks. ALL THINGS. There is no such thing as luck, but only the will of God at work, whether we are aware of that or not. All things happen as HE would will and no matter what they are, good or bad in our opinion, they are His will at work, and in all such things we should be:THANKFUL.And especially, we should be thankful for His:UNSPEAKABLE GIFT,A gift that cannot be adequately described in words:OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.LOVE. No matter how hateful the world is, no matter how alone you may feel or be, the love of our Lord is with you. Christ, closer than a friend or brother, is with you, by your side, even if no one else is, as our Lord was with the Apostle Paul in his final days, all alone in a dungeon. Christ died for you and there is no greater love than that of a man who lays down his life for a friend:YOU AND ME.2025 is the year which the Lord has made. Let us be glad and rejoice therein. Let us resolve to live this great year joyfully, and more productively, and work in his behalf for the night is coming when no man or woman can work.A very blessed New Year's greeting from all of us at the Crawford Broadcasting Co. and may you and yours have a year with the full blessing of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Merry Christmas and welcome to this week's edition of the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas podcast, as we're in Bentonville talking to Kevin Girkins, owner of the super-popular Archie's Sandwichery, but first?!?! FOOD NEWS!! We learned yesterday that a popular spot will be closing its doors at the start of the New Year. Desi Fusion has announced when they'll close their Ft. Smith food truck and open their brick and mortar in Springdale! Potbelly Sandwich Works opens in Springdale, and owner Tiffany Montgomery talks about building two restaurants at once! PJ's Coffee has started construction in Rogers. Few tickets remain for Sunday night's restaurant takeover by Super-chef Marcus Samuelsson. We'll tell you what he's making! This week's Flavor's Flashback is one of my favorite Mike Engleman Home Pro Tip's of the Week of all time and it comes from Darwin Beyer at Meiji in Fayetteville. Kevin Girkins got in the restaurant business initially because his dad caught him red-handed doing something illegal. Seriously. It's a funny story. He's from Austin and moved to Northwest Arkansas to help build and run a popular franchise in Bentonville. It took a fortuitous turn at his next stop which gave him the confidence to start his own spot, which is what he eventually did with Archie's. Why a sandwich shop in Bentonville? Kevin will tell you why. Also, where did the name Archie's come from? There's a portrait on the wall at Archie's that'll explain it. We talk with Archie's owner/operator Kevin Girkins next, here on the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas podcast.

“If you don't forage for Za'atar, how are you going to feel connected to the land? How are you going to understand what your ancestors have been doing for thousands of years here?” - Aya Gazawi FaourIn For The Wild's series in collaboration with Olive Odyssey, we hear from Aya Gazawi Faour, their co-founder, who shares about plants indigenous to the Palestinian landscape and their deep ties to culture, resistance, and enduring lifeways. In this episode, Aya shares about the herb Za'atar and its role in Palestinian kitchens. Aya details the ban placed on foraging Za'atar by Israel and its selective enforcement against Palestinians. Despite encroachments on their land and these restrictive practices, Aya emphasizes connection to the land down to the very flavor of Palestinian food and the scent of Palestinian kitchens. Colonizing forces try to separate people and the land, but as Aya speaks, it is clear that this separation is neither sustainable nor wholly possible. Let this conversation be an invitation to look more closely at the lands and living beings of Palestine. If Aya's stories moved you, take the next step: learn from the farmers and stewards keeping these lifeways alive. Explore the work of Palestinian growers, deepen your understanding of their traditions, and support their harvests through Olive Odyssey. Every gesture of connection helps nourish a culture, a landscape, and a people rooted in resilience.Olive Odyssey brings together farmers from across Palestine with a shared purpose: to tell the story of the Palestinian people through olive oil. Their mission is simple yet powerful — each bottle reflects a deep connection to the land and a commitment to sustainable, community-centered practices. To learn more about the farmers, their methods, and to source olive oil, za'atar, recipes, and more, visit https://oliveodyssey.com.Plants Are Political is based on Olive Odyssey's series by the same name.CreditsMusic for this episode is “Rosa” and “Anima” composed by Doe Paoro from her album “Living Through Collapse.” For The Wild is created by Ayana Young, Erica, Ekrem, Julia Jackson, and Victoria Pham.

I just stepped out of the intoxicating, earthy air of the White Truffle Festival in Alba, Italy, and my entire perspective on this culinary unicorn has changed. What if everything you thought you knew about truffles—their flavor, their cost, even that bottle of truffle oil in your pantry—was missing the point? In this solo deep-dive, I'm pulling back the curtain on the world's most mysterious and fleeting luxury ingredient. We're moving beyond the hype to the heart of the matter: why truffles don't actually taste like anything, the shocking truth about most truffle products, and how a single shaving can teach us about patience, nature, and the art of savoring. I'll share exactly how to select, store, and savor real white truffles, what I learned from the legendary hunters and their dogs, and the surprising health benefits wrapped up in that earthy aroma. This is a conversation about reconnecting with the sensual, intentional joy of food. If you're ready to experience luxury in its most authentic form, join me at the chef's table. 0:00 – Introduction: The Intoxicating World of White Truffles 2:14 – The Sensory Experience: Why Truffles Are an Aroma, Not a Flavor 6:38 – The Hard Truth About Truffle Oil and Synthetic Products 11:25 – How to Select a Quality Truffle: Smell, Feel, and Look 15:10 – Understanding the Price: The Luxury of the Forest Floor 18:45 – The Art and Spirit of Truffle Foraging with Dogs 23:30 – Cooking For the Truffle: Pairings and Principles 27:15 – How to Store Truffles and Why Time is the Enemy 29:40 – The Surprising Health Benefits of White Truffles 31:20 – Final Reflections: Reverence for Nature and Seasonal Joy 32:50 – Closing Thoughts and Upcoming Culinary Adventures Mentioned Resources Superfood Sprinkle (Chef Mareya's seasoning blend) - Available at ChefMareya.com with code REALDISH Free F.I.T.
