Food 101, now in its fifth season, continues to celebrate the richness of culinary traditions, and this week’s episode is no exception. I’m joined by Derek Hales, who brings his passion and expertise to the table as we dive into the flavors of Steak, North Carolina BBQ, and the indulgent sweetness of Cheesecake. Together, we explore the art of grilling the perfect cut, uncover the heritage and smoky depth behind Carolina’s barbecue culture, and finish with the creamy decadence of a timeless dessert. It’s a flavorful journey that blends savory, smoky, and sweet—an episode guaranteed to delight both food lovers and curious listeners alike.
