Embark on a culinary adventure that's bursting with flavor and sprinkled with industry secrets as we recount our time at the F&B at Sea show, where we savored Creekstone Farm prime ribeyes, courtesy of our culinary expert Jeff. The episode is a smorgasbord of food tales, including a near-mythical Balmoral butter with ouzo marmalade that, despite our best efforts, remained tantalizingly out of reach. We're dishing out a taste of the camaraderie and innovation that fuels the kitchen, and teasing an exclusive feature with Chef Jennifer H. Booker, whose insights are simmering with anticipation.Stirring the pot further, we welcome Pooch Rivera to the table for a raw and heartfelt conversation about the melting pot of cultural diversity in the culinary world. From poignant personal backgrounds to the rich tapestry of experiences shaping today's food scene, we don't shy away from the hot-button topics of race and identity. Plus, we're reminiscing about the taste and transformation of Miami's food landscape, leaving us hungry for what the future holds in this ever-vibrant city.Finally, let's toast to the future of dining as we explore the plant-based revolution cruising across the seas, and marvel at the culinary technologies revolutionizing how we cook. From poke bowls that challenge the palate to the sushi robot that rolls with precision, we're all about the perfect marriage of tradition and innovation. And as we reflect on historical sailings out of New Orleans, it's clear that our passion for food is a journey that never ends—especially with coffee and empanadas in hand. Join us for an episode that's as rich and diverse as the culinary world itself. Walk-In Talk Podcast now sweetened by Noble Citrus!
