Chef Jet Tila (Food Network, Iron Chef America, Cutthroat Kitchen) joins us for an unfiltered conversation about food, family, and fatherhood. Jet opens up about growing up in LA as the first U.S.-born child of Thai-Chinese immigrants, how his father’s choices forced him to restart life at 17, and why he ultimately walked away from a high-paying Vegas chef job to be present for his wife and kids. Jet shares how therapy, parenting with “firm but loving boundaries,” and resisting the pressure of smartphones for his 12-year-old have shaped his fatherhood journey. We also get Jet's hot take on authenticity in food, creating a family culture from scratch, and why he believes the best recipe he’s ever written is the one at home.
