Walk-In Talk Podcast Carl Fiadini

Hey there, Food Fam! Carl Fiadini here, and I've just wrapped up a kitchen-table session that's sure to make your taste buds tango. Imagine the burst of flavors from a kimchi watermelon salsa atop a pretzel bun—just one of the many culinary adventures we embarked on in our latest podcast episode. We're talking competition meets creativity, and let me tell you, it's an electrifying mix. Our good pals, the talented Chef Josh Bernstein and Chef Stephen Hicks from The Porch, joined us to spill the beans on their sandwich masterpieces like the Italian Stallion and the Meatballer Shotcaller that are making waves in the Winter Park food scene

Turning the spotlight on behind-the-scenes action, our conversation ventured through the highs and lows of the food industry. From managing a fleet of JetBlue's culinary delights to the nerve-wracking excitement of event hosting, we've covered the full spectrum. Picture preparing charcuterie for a crowd of 400—oh, the stories we shared! We also touched on how chefs and industry pros keep the flame of their cooking passion alive, even when they step out of the kitchen and into different roles.

Prepare your palates for a culinary odyssey with the latest episode of the Walk-In Talk Podcast! As your host, Carl Fiadini, I'm bringing out an auditory feast from the vibrant Ibis Images Studios. We're serving up a conversation with Chef Bobby Gonzalez, the pastry wizard who brought his sweet finesse to the Food Network's Spring Baking Championship, and Chef Stephen Hicks at The Porch Meatery & Market, who's stirring the pot with a 420-themed collaboration event with the Walk-In Talk Podcast that's a feast for the senses. Plus, I'll share a laugh-out-loud mishap from today's food shoot that proves even seasoned pros can have their off moments.

Embark on a culinary adventure that's bursting with flavor and sprinkled with industry secrets as we recount our time at the F&B@ Sea show, where we savored Creekstone Farm prime ribeyes, courtesy of our culinary expert Jeff. The episode is a smorgasbord of food tales, including a near-mythical Balmoral butter with ouzo marmalade that, despite our best efforts, remained tantalizingly out of reach. We're dishing out a taste of the camaraderie and innovation that fuels the kitchen, and teasing an exclusive feature with Chef Jennifer H. Booker, whose insights are simmering with anticipation.

Stirring the pot further, we welcome Pooch Rivera to the table for a raw and heartfelt conversation about the melting pot of cultural diversity in the culinary world. From poignant personal backgrounds to the rich tapestry of experiences shaping today's food scene, we don't shy away from the hot-button topics of race and identity. Plus, we're reminiscing about the taste and transformation of Miami's food landscape, leaving us hungry for what the future holds in this ever-vibrant city.

Finally, let's toast to the future of dining as we explore the plant-based revolution cruising across the seas, and marvel at the culinary technologies revolutionizing how we cook. From poke bowls that challenge the palate to the sushi robot that rolls with precision, we're all about the perfect marriage of tradition and innovation. And as we reflect on historical sailings out of New Orleans, it's clear that our passion for food is a journey that never ends—especially with coffee and empanadas in hand. Join us for an episode that's as rich and diverse as the culinary world itself.
