    Chef Dominique Leach on Soul Food, Barbecue & Building Back from Nothing | In Culinary

    Chef Dominique Leach is a pit master, culinary veteran, and Chicago original — and this conversation might be one of the most honest we've had on In Culinary.Recorded live during a cooking demo, Dominique opens up about the stories behind her food: a late aunt whose fish fries raised money for family reunions, a grandmother from Lexington, Mississippi who cooked with her eyes closed and once fed Barack Obama collard greens, and a childhood in Humboldt Park that gave her the soul she brings to every dish.Then she tells the story of the food truck. The Jamaica trip where she blurted out she was launching one. The excitement of going all in. And the night — just months later — she woke up to it burning in front of her home, torched by a Molotov cocktail from someone in her own community.She rebuilt in four months. She kept going. And she's still going.⚠️ Heads up on audio: We ran into some technical difficulties during this recording. The content was too good to sit on, so we made the call to release it as-is. We appreciate your understanding.

    Chef Stephan Sandoval on Baja Roots, Bluefin Tuna & His Famous Tostada

    San Diego-raised, Chicago-based chef Stephan Sandoval joins us live to make the dish that put him on the map — a Baja-style bluefin tuna tostada built on Japanese knife technique, a scratch-made ancho-morita salsa macha, and three sauces that quietly hit every corner of the palate.  Stephan talks about growing up between San Diego and Tijuana, the Japanese and Chinese immigrant influences baked into Baja food culture, why sauces are his real superpower (and his biggest production nightmare), and how mentorship under Rick Bayless shaped the kind of chef — and person — he wanted to be. He also gets into his upcoming concepts Trino and Entre Suenos, and why he's always been an open book in the kitchen.  Topics covered: • Butchering a Pacific Baja bluefin tuna loin live on stage • Making salsa macha from scratch — chili selection, the nut debate, and his 4:1 ancho-to-morita ratio • The three-sauce system behind his signature tostada • Baja's Japanese and Chinese culinary influences • Kitchen mentorship, managing people, and the "open book" philosophy • Rick Bayless, The Homecoming, and what's coming next
