This week on the podcast, we have Chef Travis Milton in the building. Chef Travis is the culinary director and executive chef for Nicewonder Properties in Bristol, Virginia, and is essentially the engineer of the Appalachia food scene. Chef Travis talks to Chef Alysia about his intro into the food world stemming from his first encounter with fettuccine alfredo at a Wendy's when he was a kid. (Who knew Wendy's sold pasta?) Also, in this fun-filled episode, we get an insight into the burgeoning Appalachia food scene, we hear about the vital components of Chef Travis' refrigerator, and he shares quite possibly the most delicious-sounding late-night snack; here's a hint, it's much simpler than you might imagine an executive chef makes. Be sure to check out this episode!
