The Interested Eater

Listen to my chat with the owner of pop-up pizza shop Black Magic Pizza. Traviss is an awesome guy who has a detailed history in the Orlando food scene. This chat was from a couple of months ago, but thought it was such a good chat I had to release it. Check it out!

If you haven't heard of Mochi donuts yet, you need to! Frank and Ittichai are two of the main guys running Dochi in Orlando. They're changing the donut game and I had the chance to talk with them about the operation and how this all got started.

Mental Health Awareness is such a big topic these days, but has had a big impact in the restaurant industry following the recent loss of Anthony Bourdain. To better understand this matter, I sat down with Mike Evans, Chef de Cuisine at Kabooki Sushi Sand Lake. This was our second conversation and I learned so much about the struggles of working in the kitchen, dealing with competitiveness with coworkers, and dealing with constant feedback.

Peter Nguyen is the owner/operator of Banh Mi Boys in Metairie, Louisiana right outside of New Orleans. He's not only making traditional Banh Mi and Po Boy Sandwiches, but is also fusing the two together. Banh Mi Boys has been getting rave reviews and I had the chance to chat with him about the start of the business, the Vietnamese food scene in New Orleans, and what to do when you're in New Orleans.
