We revisit our December, 2015 interview with Maya Lovelace of Mae.  Since this interview, Maya's Mae pop-up has become a force in Portland dining.  Tickets to her weekly dinners are scooped up in minutes.  She can now lay claim to a coveted James Beard Award nomination as Rising Star Chef in the USA.And since we recorded this, she was named EaterPDX's Chef of the Year, among a host of accolades and accomplishments. We talk to Maya about her roots on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, the ghosts in the room, and the art of putting on a show.
