One of the MasterChef favorites Kolby Kash is with us this week and we discuss all things MasterChef. From his favorite dishes, to the ones you didn't see, and his hat "Fax Pas" from the Dodger Stadium episode.
Kolby get's vulnerable and talks about his difficulty with elimination and watching the show when it aired, minus one key family member who was with him when it started but not when it ended.
Plus, who is he still chatting with from the show, and so much more.

In this episode Wayne and I talk about realizing mid show that the production is giving you a character. How he worked to show up differently, and also how he was able to accept what was happening.
I learned a lot about MasterChef in this interview, and I know you'll be interested to hear how certain advantages work, the grueling schedules. And who won big at the casino after the restaurant challenge (just kidding- there's a better story than that!)

Take a trip back in time with Sarah and I as we reminisce on our times being teammates together on The Taste. It's been 10 years and it's so fun to spend a little time with my dear friend.
We talk a little crap, and she gives me a little crap. But it's all in good fun, even we we jokingly trash talk a popular Celebrity Chef. It's a spicy episode, and I think you'll love it!

If you've listened to our interviews with Juan and Stephanie from School of Chocolate, you've already heard that Mellisa was made out to be the villain, when she was quite the opposite.
In this episode, Mellisa shares her side of the story. We discuss how being a strong woman is frowned upon still to this day, and as Mellisa says "we're not quite ready as a society for really strong, competitive women..."
Mellisa will also share funny tidbits like her "secret curse word" she shares with her nephew, and their pack to only use that and not the real bad words (and find out if it worked). How the show was literally being created while filming. And who she's still chatting with from the show.

There are a lot of reasons to love Netflix's show School of Chocolate (no one gets eliminated, there's lots of desserts, and huge chocolate sculptures). But Stephanie is like a breath of fresh air on this show.
As sweet as her culinary treats, it's no surprise she's one of the favorite chefs from the show! In this interview we will get a backstage pass to the show, find out what Stephanie is doing now, and how to get her amazing sweet treats.
Special Note: We discussed her favorite "Door Dash" Los Angeles spots while on the show, but forgot to supply them. Here's a little note from Stephanie to you: " My top two recommendations for places in and around West Hollywood are Jesse Boy for awesome Korean fried chicken and La Monarca bakery for delicious Mexican sweetbread."
