Hungry for More : an Epicurean's Dilemma trish glose

It's a first for this podcast - Trish interviews loooongtime friend, (ahem) Dr. Mariluz Garcia. Trish and Mariluz met as teenagers in Manzanita Dorm at the University of Nevada, Reno. The universe was kind enough to throw a group of gals together in this dorm, who went on to become the best of college pals, creating some life-long memories. Mariluz talks about growing up with a Basque father and Mexican mama, three siblings, a loving Abuela, lots of incredible food, beautiful surroundings, loads of laughs, and so much more. Mariluz went to UNR to become a teacher, but her path changed in the best way. She went on to get her Masters in Counseling and then her PhD in Education. From becoming an Executive Director, to getting a 4-million dollar grant for education... to turning to politics... this interview dances and twirls around 2 old pals catching up, stories of grandmas and food, and writing new chapters in life.

Just a couple of food nerds, gabbing about kitchens, meatball recipes and other things -- all wrapped up in this fun conversation with Aly Romero. Aly was born in New Zealand and then lived in lots of different places including Hawaii, Sonoma County and now, Texas. She says all of these places influenced her palette, but her Dad definitely helped get her in the kitchen. She started her culinary journey around 2013, then started her food blog, and then made a few TV appearances cooking. She spent the last two years working on her first cookbook, "Gas Fire Heat," which is now available for pre-orders. She's excited for this next adventure and sharing what she loves about cooking beyond the kitchen.

He's back! Dr. Elia Gourgouris, or The Happiness Doctor first chatted with Trish smack dab in the middle of a pandemic and it was a lot about how to nagivate a crisis. It's Episode 106 if you want to take a listen. This time around, they catch up on what Elia has been up to, which includes long trips to Greece and something really special in the works. This Happiness Doc explains the best ways to manifest your best life, how to be happy, and why a lot of it comes down to kindness.

Food nerd alert! Recipe developer and food blogger Kayla Howey and Trish geek out a bit over food, pantry staples, and Kayla's journey to blogging her recipes. She talks about her family's history with Nancy's Pizza in Chicago, the reasons for going to culinary school, and why she decided to put her recipes out on the world wide web. It's a super fun, very thoughtful conversation with a sweet little nugget of advice at the end.

A.J. Weinzettel says he's on a journey to tell stories about the people and places behind wine. Growing up in Tennessee, wine wasn't necessarily a "thing"... it took a move to Oregon before he got bitten by the wine bug. He talks about the moment it happened and how it wasn't just what was in his glass that started this journey. It began with writing a newsletter and then a couple of years ago - a podcast where he interviews producers and hears their story and their own wine journey. The interview gets fairly heavy when Trish asks to name more than a handful of wineries that really express Oregon's flavor - it's serious business!

Chef Adrian Martin on the podcast and what a kick in the pants! Adrian is the current Executive Chef for Parkhurst Wine Cellars, although a lot of people may know him as the chef on Season 6 of reality TV show "Below Deck" on Bravo. Adrian grew up working in Dad's restaurant in St. Martin and went to culinary school in France at the age of 16. He did a lot of cheffing on yachts, did some culinary tours across the country, and recently decided to settle down in Oregon. Adrian and Trish talk a a lot about food, the challenges and appeal to cheffing on yachts, and his current gig cooking in a tasting room.
