World Food Chats....We sat down with Max (who helped get his team to World Food Champ status), a self-taught cook who moved from corporate banking to a community-first kitchen, finding focus, purpose, and mental health through complex, science-driven cooking. Along the way, we talk travel, technique, risk, and why authentic growth beats vanity metrics.

• starting a food page to live in the present
• cooking complex Asian dishes from scratch
• giving away food to neighbors and followers
• balancing corporate work with passion projects
• seeing risk as the path to purpose
• learning technique and the science behind cooking
• travel-informed recipes and regional dishes
• authentic social growth over vanity metrics
• rapid fire: tools, senses, ingredients, fears
• where to find Max and beginner advice

The best part is that the WFC opens its doors to anyone who wants to compete! Home cooks included! So congrats to all the competitors and the ones with the drive to duke it out in the kitchen and have a blast doing it!
