This week, chef Michael Symon chats with Jaymee about his culinary career in Cleveland and how the food scene has evolved over the past two decades. He talks about how the various European influences of his childhood shaped him as a chef and the first thing he learned to make. Michael explains his “meat-centric” style of cooking, why pork is his favorite protein, and how to cook absolutely anything on the grill. Plus, Michael dishes about filming BBQ Brawl with best friend Bobby Flay, and his strategy for making a comeback after last season’s disappointing loss.
