In this powerful episode of Chef Ismael's Kitchen Quest, we sit down with Hanalei Souza, famously known as Lady Line Cook, to explore the realities of life behind the kitchen doors. Hanalei has earned her place as a sous chef in an industry that challenges even the toughest. She’s shared her journey with thousands through her candid and inspiring Instagram posts, but today, she opens up like never before.

Join us as we dive into her rise from the line to becoming a leader in the kitchen, the unique experiences of being a female sous chef, and the lessons learned in the trenches of a male-dominated field. We also discuss her memoir, "Nice Work, Boys!", where she shares raw and honest stories that shaped her path in the culinary arts.

From her most rewarding moments to the challenges that tested her resolve, this episode is a deep dive into the spirit of resilience, passion, and finding your voice in the chaos of the kitchen.
