Welcome back to Using My Degree! This week's special guest is Chef Jesse Koones of Junoon in Manhattan. He's one of my best friends, a fellow CIA graduate, and what I would call a fruit expert - I mean, he's friends with me after all. There are only two gay jokes in this episode if you can believe that.

Please excuse any dog or fire truck noises - my dogs do not like guests and my neighborhood is an active battleground most days.
