In this episode, the ladies dive into Confessions of a Video Vixen and Vindicated by Karrine Steffans, exploring the highs, lows, and lessons (or lack thereof) from her journey. They examine her troubled childhood, her rise to fame in the hip-hop industry, and the factors that led to her infamous reputation as “Superhead.” While Confessions exposed the toxic power dynamics of the industry, Vindicated raises a bigger question for our hosts—has Steffans truly grown, or is she still caught in the same cycles? Our hosts analyze her past and present relationships, including her recent entanglement with celebrity chef Kwame Onwuachi and ask: Is she the empowered feminist she claims to be, or is she still repeating the same toxic cycles? Tune in for a no-holds-barred discussion on fame, agency, and what it really means to break free from the past. Cheers!

"When I do anything, I like to break all the bricks. What was here before Lincoln Center was old San Juan Hill, a very affluent or a very popular Afro-Caribbean, Afro Latino area. It just spoke to me. It was like, I'm supposed to be here. I'm supposed to revive the stories of the people and give a voice to the inaudible and that's what the restaurant does. It tells a story of New York, but not the New York that I guess the affluent think of. For me, it's the story of immigrants, it's Puerto Rican it's Dominican, it's Jamaican, it's Nigerian, Senegalese, like all these things for me made New York special."  Kwame Onwuachi As a 40-year veteran of the restaurant industry, it gives me so much pleasure to see the mainstream recognition and opportunities for success afforded to the talented generation of people of color pursuing careers in hospitality. This group of entrepreneurs and chefs is making a name for themselves illuminating the way forward for the next generation. My guest, Kwame Onwuachi, has racked up a pretty impressive list of accolades including one of Food and Wine's Best New Chefs, Esquire Magazine's 2019 Chef of the Year, and The San Francisco Chronicle said that Kwame was the most important chef in America. That's a big title and quite an accolade. He is also the creator of the Family Reunion, an annual multi-day event that takes place in Middleburg, Virginia and celebrates diversity in the hospitality community. In September, 2021, Kwame hosted the esteemed James Beard Awards having previously won the Rising Star Chef of the Year award in 2019. He is also the author of a memoir, Notes from a Young Black Chef, that is being adapted into a feature film.

We talk about why writing about restaurants is such a compelling act of cultural anthropology, and why writing cookbooks was the natural progression for Joshua. And how the years-long process of writing a cookbook is the type of project, a huge one at that, that is both satisfying and an exercise of letting go.

Chef, memoirist, and Top Chef alum Kwame Onwuachi returns to the show to discuss his debut cookbook, My America: Recipes from a Young Black Chef, featuring the cuisine of Onwuachi's family and ancestors.   Suya Origin: Nigeria Yield: 6 to 8 servings   Suya is the grandfather of American BBQ. In Nigeria, the spices draw out and fire up the meats, often cooked over an open flame. Here I do the same. But if you don't have a grill, use a well- oiled cast- iron skillet over high heat in a kitchen with open windows. The open windows are very important, unless you find the blare of a smoke alarm harmonious and enjoy fits of sneezing. I find the sweetness of the char plus the heat of the spice totally irresistible. I did when I first smelled it from beyond the walls of my grandfather's compound in Nigeria, or when we went to market when I could sneak a skewer. (Since my grandfather was an obi, or chief, there were many customs and rules around what he and his family could eat.) When I opened my second restaurant, Kith and Kin, I wanted to suya everything. The reaction from the diners, at least initially, was mixed. Many Nigerians scoffed at the idea that suya could be applied to, for instance, brussels sprouts. They were, on the whole, proud that Nigerian cuisine was being given the attention it so much deserved but arrived at the table with some strong opinions. Judging from the empty bowls that came back to the kitchen, I think I won them over. But it was always a battle. In this recipe, I stick to the traditional proteins— steak, chicken, and shrimp. In Nigeria, suya is served with sliced tomatoes and onions, which help mellow the heat. Here that role is played by a tomato- ginger soubise and a traditional onion cream sauce from France, and I keep the tomatoes and onions in the form of pickles, whose burst of acidity rounds out the flavors.   For the suya and to assemble 1 pound large (16– 20 size) shrimp, peeled and deveined 1 pound boneless ribeye steak, excess fat trimmed, sliced into ¼- inch strips 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, sliced into ¼- inch strips 4 1/2 tablespoons Suya Spice, divided, plus more to garnish *Note: Kwame makes this from scratch, but you can find it at most grocery stores or online. Kwame's recipe is included in the cookbook. 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided ¼ cup roughly chopped fresh parsley Tomato-ginger soubise, to serve Pickled tomatoes and onions, to serve Lime wedges, to serve   For the tomato-ginger soubise 1 Roma tomato, roughly chopped 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil Kosher salt, to taste 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil 3 tablespoons Ginger-Garlic Purée (GGP) *Note: Kwame makes GGP from scratch, but you can find it at most grocery stores or online. Kwame's recipe is included in the cookbook. 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced 1 cup heavy cream 1 cup whole milk   For the pickled tomatoes and onions 1 cup Spice Pickling Liquid (below) 1 medium red onion, large dice 1 medium ripe tomato, large dice   For the suya Place the shrimp, steak, and chicken in three separate bowls. Season each with 11/2 tablespoons of suya spice and 1/2 teaspoon salt, mixing well to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. (You can marinate the shrimp for up to 12 hours, and the steak and chicken for up to 48 hours.)   For the tomato-ginger soubise Heat the oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Toss the tomatoes with olive oil and season with salt. Spread evenly over the sheet pan and bake for 15 minutes, until deep red and a little wrinkly.   Meanwhile, heat the grapeseed oil in a medium pot over medium heat. When it shimmers, add the GGP and cook until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the onions and cook until translucent and soft, 7 to 10 minutes. Add the roasted tomatoes, along with the cream and milk. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring often, until reduced to about 1 cup— watch carefully, as cream has a tendency to boil over, so reduce the heat as necessary to keep it from sputtering or burning— about 1 hour. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly, then transfer to a blender and purée until velvety smooth. Season to taste with salt and set aside. You should have 1 cup of soubise.   For the pickled tomatoes and onions Bring the spice pickling liquid to a boil in a small pot. Place the onions and tomatoes in a nonreactive bowl and pour the hot liquid over them, stirring to combine well. Let cool to room temperature, about 1 hour before serving. You should have about 3 cups of pickled tomatoes and onions.   To assemble When ready to cook, prepare a grill for high heat. Let it heat for 10 minutes. Grill the shrimp, steak, and chicken, turning occasionally, until deeply browned and cooked through, about 3 minutes for shrimp and steak and 4 to 5 minutes for the chicken. In a small pot, warm the soubise over low heat. Place the grilled items on a platter, dust with extra suya spice, and sprinkle with parsley. Serve with warm soubise, pickled tomatoes and onions, lime wedges for squeezing, and jollof rice. Note: Cooked suya shrimp will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day, chicken and beef suya for up to 4 days. Tomato-ginger soubise will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Pickled tomatoes and onions will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.   Spice Pickling Liquid Origin: American South Yield: 3 cups   Pickling is an act of food preservation and also, thankfully for us, adds an entire dimension of bright angular flavors. This pickling liquid includes a touch of spice but it largely neutral, allowing the flavors of the pickled vegetables to emerge. I like the balance between the thyme and coriander on the softer herbal side with the habanero and ginger more biting, but play around as you like. Garlic goes well, ditto allspice, cloves, and bay leaf. Here's your chance to go freeform and experiment with what aromatics you use in the pickling liquid and what you pickle. Among my favorite vegetables to pickle are onions, mushrooms, and pig's feet—which aren't a vegetable at all, of course, but are delicious.   1 ¾ cups white wine vinegar ¼ cup granulated white sugar 3 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon kosher salt 12 fresh thyme sprigs 4 teaspoons whole coriander seeds ½ habanero pepper, stemmed, seeded, and roughly chopped 2 thin slices ginger, about 2-3 inches long 2 cups water   Place all the ingredients into a medium pot and bring to a boil over high heat. As soon as it comes to a boil, remove it from the heat. Let cool completely, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve and transfer to a clean jar with a tight-fitting lid. Note: Spice pickling liquid will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.   From My America: Recipes from a Young Black Chef by Kwame Onwuachi with Joshua David Stein.

Raised in the Bronx, Nigeria, and Louisiana, chef Kwame Onwuachi grew up surrounded by cooking. During episode 101, Kwame talks about how that exposure changed the course of his life, and ultimately saved him. Many people know Kwame as one-time contestant on Bravo's Top Chef, season 13 California, and as a current judge on the award-winning cooking competition show that's inspired many copycats, and has made the culinary life mainstream. Kwame documented his riveting journey to food innovator and one-to-watch chef in his memoir paired with recipes, Notes from a Young Black Chef, which we discuss in great detail here. His multi-layered path, peppered with inspiring and difficult moments alike, is set to be turned into a feature film by A24, and Kwame shares the inside scoop on all of it. The James Beard Award-winning chef discusses the duality of his life experiences, the push and pull aspect of his personality, his time as a drug dealer, and the pivotal moment involving Barack Obama and a hangover that shifted his focus to cooking. We talk about being an enigma, needing to get big-time creative as a cook on a ship, his entry into the Culinary Institute of America, some of his jarring experiences of racism, the many things that have contributed to his success, the many nuances that mark his cuisine, and his powerful choice to look at potential experiences as having the best possible outcomes.

Kevin Tien, like many first-generation Americans, especially those with Asian backgrounds, was supposed to do something extremely professional, which is why he got a master’s degree from Louisiana State University in business intelligence and business analytics. But that took a while, and while he was doing it he was also working his way up the ranks of Tsunami, a Japanese restaurant with locations in the Louisiana communities of Lafayette, where he started his studies at the University of Louisiana before being displaced by Hurricane Katrina, and Baton Rouge where he finished. Upon graduation he got offers to do financial analysis as well as to start working at the Houston location of Uchi, Tyson Cole’s modern Japanese concept. He chose the latter. His career took him to Washington, D.C., and he eventually opened his own restaurant, Himitsu, where he was named to Food & Wine Magazine’s coveted list of the 10 “Best New Chefs” in 2018. In 2020, well into the pandemic, Tien opened Moon Rabbit at the InterContinental Washington D.C. hotel in the location formerly occupied by Kwame Onwuachi’s Kith/Kin. Tien recently discussed his journey, his cooking style and how Moon Rabbit reflects his Vietnamese heritage, his upbringing in Cajun country and his training in modern Japanese fine dining.

In 2011, Brandon decided to take his life-long love and talent for cooking to the next level by getting his first job in the restaurant industry. The reality of the industry was not as sunny as Brandon expected though. After years of packed, no-weekend work schedules and being on the receiving end of an intense amount of pressure and scrutiny, Brandon chose to exit the food business and enjoy his cooking skills outside of the workplace. In the summer of 2021, Brandon stumbled upon a book that finally could speak to his experience in the restaurant industry, Notes From a Young Black Chef by Kwame Onwuachi. In the book, Kwame takes the reader through the extreme highs and lows of a career in food and all the obstacles that come with being Black in the industry. In this episode, we talk about the overlap between Brandon and Kwame's stories as well as theatre and some of Brandon's funniest memories with food. This is a must-listen for any foodies out there!
