This week on The Bubble Lounge, we’re celebrating seven incredible years of storytelling, laughter, and community—and we couldn’t think of a better guest to mark the occasion than Iris Midler, founder of Chefs for Farmers. Iris embodies everything this show stands for: passion, resilience, and making a difference right here in Dallas. In this episode, she opens up about what it’s like balancing motherhood, a family emergency, and one of the biggest food festivals in the city—all in the same week. It’s raw, real, and deeply relatable for anyone who’s ever tried to “do it all” while keeping a smile on their face.

From a simple idea to connect chefs with local farmers to a nationally recognized culinary celebration, Chefs for Farmers has become a can’t-miss Dallas event—and it’s happening this weekend! Iris shares the story behind the festival, the grit it takes to pull it off, and why championing local food and community is her mission. Whether you’re a foodie, a mom, or just someone who loves a good success story, this episode will leave you inspired (and hungry). Grab your tickets, grab your headphones, and join us for a delicious dose of heart and hustle!
