This is about way more than food

Far from the larger than life egos of reality TV chefs, Justin Thompson delves into his enormously successful career within his hometown’s restaurant scene with an unexpected amount of wonder and curiosity. You don’t have to be a foodie in the Midwest to find some real gems in these conversations between two friends. In 2022 most of us are reflecting on where we are, how we got here, and where we go next. Give it a listen!
