Happy Moments In The Restaurant Life With Chef Johnathan & Chef Alex 18 Nov 202200:31:56

Send us a text

It isn’t that there aren’t happy times in this restaurant life of ours, but good times are born from hard work and much effort. In this case, what constitutes “rare”, happy moments, is that a bunch of people were put together randomly, through divine providence. No egos, just growth and good spirited company. 

 I left some behind the scenes prerecording banter in this episode for a glimpse into how we have a great time with our podcast! 

Congratulations to my boys, Chef Johnathan and Chef Alex from team Walk-In Talk, for winning the 2022 Savor St. Pete food competition!! 

Special thanks to Tammy Gail for the opportunity! And Happy Birthday! 🎁

How to navigate these high food costs on the Walk-In Talk: Podcast20 Oct 202200:37:26

Another great podcast! This description penned by Chef Jeffrey Schlissel:

I was in Orlando today at the Hilton Double Tree or as I know them “the twin towers” at the entrance of Universal studios.  We taped two just amazing podcast videos. 

Like Carl Fiadini says he wants to go up two levels every time.  I always say, I am his Yang, meaning I bring it down two levels!  Basically in the mixing bowl is great content! Very educational without you even knowing you’re getting schooled, in a good way, sometimes! Listen for yourselves let me know your thoughts…

If you are a farmer and want to get involved and as you will hear on this podcast, want a chef to be your spokesperson to tell your story, message me NOW! 

Local west coast and central chefs want in, message me, MEOW.  That’s right I said meow! 

Two amazing chefs what a fun time and speaking of, when you’re having this much fun it doesn’t seem that long at all! Thanks to Chef Kevan from Slate Restaurant in Orlando and Chef Anthony from the Doubletree Hotel at the entrance of Universal Studios, Orlando, Fl.  Really just two awesome dudes www.TheWalkInTalk.com

Walk-In Talk: Podcast sessions are not recorded in a studio, but remotely in hotels, restaurants, farms or anywhere you will find food and the people that bring that food into existence. 

We recorded two sessions at Circle C Farms last week. One with Stropharia Mushroom Farm (go to my website and donate to their GFM page-www.TheWalkInTalk.com) and the second was with Nicole Cruz, owner of Circle C Farm in Bonita Springs, Florida. She had a lot to share about the farm life. Nicole gave insight into the realities of natural disasters and the loss of livestock. 

I greatly appreciate Chef Jeffrey Schlissel accompanying us and taking part in creating the podcast.

The network continues to grow!  Circle C Farm owner, Nicole Cruz hosts the Walk-In Talk: Podcast with guests, Chef Jeffrey Schlissel, and brothers, Jor’EL & Sheth who own Stropharia Mushroom Farm in Naples, Fl; on her farm! 

Literally in the “skinning room”… yes it was all clean and only us and the equipment in the room! I just love recording podcasts on location! It makes for a more interesting session. 

The reason for you his podcast is to bring attention to the terrible loss of a healthy, viable and growing mushroom farm to Hurricane Ian. 

Please have a listen and support Jor’EL and Sheth as they look to rebuild. Their Go Fund Me page is found on my website: www.TheWalkInTalk.com.

Hurricane Ian Relief on the Walk-In Talk: Podcast12 Oct 202200:52:34

Send us a text

First thing - do not judge!  We’re stoked about our impromptu, last minute, maiden voyage so to speak! ; this is our FIRST EPISODE! 🤓😅🎙

So there I was, minding my own business. Willie and I had an easy film day scheduled at Sal Y Mar Rooftop Bar in Tampa. When all of a sudden, I get a call from a dear Chef friend, Chef Jeffrey Schlissel. 

Now as busy as Chef is, he had a block of time not accounted for on his calendar, so he met up with us at the hotel to hangout while we filmed an episode of The Dirty Dash Show at the bar. 

Only being one old fashioned in, before I knew it, we were setup to record a podcast session… our very first, basically untested, podcast session… 

We had our host Chef, Johnathan Rodriguez, Chef Jeffrey and a remote call in from Chef Amy Sins out of New Orleans! It was on like the preverbal Donkey-Kong! Willie, my main production guru, did an amazing job! 

The content is terrific, in spite of a few first timer glitches and dumdum oversights on my part, the  virgin voyage of the podcast was a success! 

Again, no judging! We’ll have this mapped out and perfected in short order! 

Main highlight:

Hurricane Ian Relief event coming Nov 14th to benefit food industry folks that have been badly affected by Ian.

Solena Cheese: Mark Maurer's Transition to a Cheesemaker's Life16 May 202400:45:42

Send us a text

Savor the flavors of innovation and tradition as we whisk you away on a culinary journey where the future of food trends meets the age-old craft of cheese-making. Last week's gastronomic adventures had us reminiscing about Jefferson's flavorful excursion to Boston, the ingenuity of Chef Keith Sarasin duck à l'orange egg roll, and Chef Johnathan Rodriguez's foray into Supermarket Steakout. We're not just teasing your taste buds; we're preparing them for the big reveal of Jefferson's "The Craveable Cookbook" and hinting at mouth-watering collaborations on the horizon.

Take a seat at the table with Mark Maurer, the cheese maestro behind Solena Cheese, and indulge in the tale of his inspiring shift from Hilton executive to artisanal cheese advocate. Mark's laughter-filled anecdotes range from the precision of mozzarella production to the joy of building a business that mirrors one's true passions, all while we contrast our host's humorously declared aversion to CrossFit with Mark's dedication. As we sample Solena’s finest, we're reminded that the story behind each bite is as rich as the cheese itself.

Wrap your palate around the delicious complexities of Oaxaca cheese, a stringy delight that's breaking free from its Mexican roots and making its mark in kitchens worldwide. We'll take you through the impact of sin

As the sizzle of competition fades from last week's episode, I'm thrilled to whisk you into a new culinary landscape where Chef Johnathan Rodriguez spices up the Food Network's "Supermarket Stakeout." Meanwhile, the food world buzzes with anticipation as Chef Jeffrey and Chef Pooch Rivera prep for the NRA show, and Jeff stirs up a feast in New Hampshire with Chef Keith Sarasin for an Indian wedding that's as colorful as the dishes he's crafting.
