In this episode of Cheftionary: The Podcast, Chef Mychal Billiot breaks down one of the most frustrating experiences in home cooking — food that tastes flat.

Most people assume the problem is salt. But flat flavor isn’t about adding more seasoning. It’s about understanding how seasoning actually works.

Chef Mychal explains:

• Why measuring matters more than people think

• When instinct replaces measurement (and when it shouldn’t)

• The difference between seasoning and guessing

• Why attention — not talent — builds flavor

If you’ve ever followed a recipe perfectly and still felt disappointed, this episode will change how you approach seasoning forever.
