    Don't Let Weddings and Funerals Be the Only Time You Get Together | Chef Dom DeFalco

    Chef Dominick DeFalco — founder of Whisk Takers (Netflix, Wall Street Journal, CNN, Buzzfeed) — joins Chris and Tony to celebrate the release of The Best in You Cookbook. Dom cooks live on the show (gochujang salmon, homemade "Cheez-Its," dark chocolate almond butter cups), and the guys get real about why cooking is the fastest way to reconnect with yourself, your family, and your people. We talk: why this is NOT a diet book, the 80/20 rule for eating healthy without sacrificing joy, cooking as an act of self-love, the grandmother recipes that shaped all three of us, "poor kid food" (fish sticks, potato pancakes, olive loaf), Dom's 40-lb weight-loss journey, Chris's condition for doing the book, and the one thing that gives you instant gratification the same day you start. 🍳 Buy The Best in You Cookbook on Amazon (hardcover + softcover) — and PLEASE leave a review. It drives the algorithm.📺 Follow The Best in You Cooking Show on Instagram + TikTok.
