Prepare your palates for a culinary odyssey with the latest episode of the Walk-In Talk Podcast! As your host, Carl Fiadini, I'm bringing out an auditory feast from the vibrant Ibis Images Studios. We're serving up a conversation with Chef Bobby Gonzalez, the pastry wizard who brought his sweet finesse to the Food Network's Spring Baking Championship, and Chef Stephen Hicks at The Porch Meatery & Market, who's stirring the pot with a 420-themed collaboration event with the Walk-In Talk Podcast that's a feast for the senses. Plus, I'll share a laugh-out-loud mishap from today's food shoot that proves even seasoned pros can have their off moments.

Chef Stephen Hicks raises a toast to creativity in the kitchen, blending the rich notes of select wines with gastronomic delights for an upcoming event that promises to be an epicurean escapade. He pours his heart into each pairing, crafting an experience that's as intoxicating as it is delicious. The camaraderie in the culinary world is tangible as we transition to Chef Bobby Gonzalez's own tale, tracing his roots from his grandmother's cozy kitchen to the bustling energy of Boston and back to the sun-soaked streets of Miami. Bobby's narrative is a tapestry of personal growth, cultural exploration, and the nostalgic flavors of home.

Our final course offers a generous helping of Chef Bobby's cross-continental pastry journey, from his friendship-forged collaboration on a cookbook to the post-COVID challenges that have reshaped the culinary landscape.
