On episode 2 of Hungry Thoughts, we get to hear from a friend and line cook at Blue Atlas in Richmond, VA, Paolo Escay. Paolo shares his culinary journey, from taking culinary arts classes in high school to dropping out of college to attend culinary school. He discusses his experiences working at different restaurants, including the challenges of adapting to new menus and kitchen setups. Paolo also talks about the intense pressure and demanding environment of fine dining establishments, which has both broken him down and toughened him up. Despite dreaming of opening his own restaurant, he expresses a desire to further explore the world of fine dining and potentially work at a Michelin star level. Paolo emphasizes the importance of communication and taking the time to concentrate in order to avoid mistakes in his job.

Nick Barahona, a 23-year old from Arlington, Virginia, shares his story on who he is and how food, sports and entertainment is what he’s all about. What came from Covid and started out as taking pictures of food and posting a review of them on Instagram, slowly turned into content creation on a whole new level! Nick plans to share insight that experiences have given him as a content creator, student athlete and human-being working/living in the Richmond and DMV area.
