"I think about food constantly, but more so than anyone else it's the people I work with who are inspiring me now.... I'm always inspired by the people I cook with, and the people I work with in the restaurants, and they're, you know, they're the ones who are inspiring me most right now, because they're making it all happen." Chef and restaurant owner, Mason Hereford's new cookbook Turkey and the Wolf: Flavor Trippin' in New Orleans is full of flavorful, fun recipes and beautiful photos that will delight any appetite. Mason talks about cooking with nostalgia, vintage McDonald's plates, what his day in the restaurants looks like, what's inspiring him in the kitchen now, and more with Poured Over guest host Kat Sarfas.
