This was supposed to be a hot wing challenge.
It turned into something else.

We sat down to take on a melt your face off hot wing challenge and ended up in a real conversation about food, marriage, work, ambition, comfort, and the choices that shape a life over time.

The heat ramps up fast. Talking becomes harder. Filters disappear.

We talk about building something from scratch, walking away from paths that look good on paper, raising kids with intention, food as memory, food as connection, and why comfort has a way of slowly pulling people off course.

This episode also introduces The Wild Kitchen Podcast, a show about food, authors, hunters, foragers, and people who still know how to make things with their hands and feed the people they love.

Nothing here was planned. Nothing was cleaned up to make it tidy.

If you’re into honest conversations, good food, and doing things the hard way on purpose, this one will land.
