Join us on a sumptuous journey as Jeff and I reinvent the classic Monte Cristo sandwich, infusing it with an innovative spirit that's sure to ignite your culinary curiosity. From Jeff's groundbreaking spring roll twist to the exquisite pork loin saltimbocca creation, each bite is a tribute to cherished memories and the enduring bond of family traditions. We pay homage to Jeff's father with our Sloppy Wilbur masterpiece and tease the palate with visions of crème brûlée-battered French toast soaked in smoked maple syrup and bourbon. This episode is a tapestry of flavors woven with personal narratives that celebrate the profound connections we have with the foods we love.

Amidst these tales of tasteful innovation, we are joined by the phenomenal Rhonda Findley, whose mastery of food styling is matched only by her captivating storytelling. Rhonda leads us down her career path, sprinkled with anecdotes from her humble origins to her current acclaim, including her brush with fame on Netflix’s "Queer Eye."

So, prepare your appetites for a banquet of conversation that's as rich
