Customer Reviews
Chef’s can solve all the world’s problems
It’s so nice to hear a chef talking about something other than just their latest recipe. Food is always political. And chefs should have a voice in the political sphere.its great to hear someone as smart and experienced as Tom talk about important stuff. Great Job chef!
