Beyond Great Futures | Boys & Girls Club of Lawrence, Kansas

Cooking Up Success | A Chef's Path from Kansas to Global Fame


Listen Later

In this episode we have a very special guest, Chef Pyet Despain!

Chef Pyet won the first ever Next Level Chef, a Gordon Ramsey TV show. She grew up in both Kansas and Oklahoma and has a passion for infusing her Native American and Mexican heritage with the food she creates. 

This past week, Chef Pyet traveled around the state of Kansas and visited several different Boys & Girls Clubs. She taught cooking lessons, connected with the kids, and gave us all a great example of success. 

We were lucky enough to have her on the podcast! 

We asked questions like: 

  • How did you manage to cook with so much pressure?
  • What is your first impression of club?
  • Are you still in contact with some of the cast?
  • How did you react when you found out you won?
  • What's your favorite comfort food to cook?
  • The biggest difference between KS and CA?
  • How did you get into cooking?

Thank you all for listening, and thank you to Midco for sponsoring this episode!
