    The Witnesses (Chef Michael) / Warriors' Table Ep.06 S.II

    Steve Murphy sits down with Chef Michael. A friend, a former right-hand man, and one of the very few people who watched everything unravel in real time. Recorded at the orchard that became an unlikely refuge during the darkest chapter of Steve's life, this conversation isn't a polished retrospective. It's two people finally naming what actually happened: the disappearances, the wedding that almost fell apart, the Instagram post that became a before-and-after line in the sand, and the quiet, nightly battle one person fought alone just trying to hold the team and his friend Together. Michael doesn't soften it. He talks about watching a sharp, meticulous chef start dropping details, about choosing silence over confrontation because he knew pressure wouldn't bring Steve back faster, and about the cost of being the buffer between a falling-apart leader and a crew that needed answers he didn't have. This is a conversation about loyalty without control, about what it actually looks like to hold space for someone in crisis, and about the strange, specific kind of peace a place can offer when nowhere else feels safe. If you've ever sat in your car in a parking lot after a shift and didn't know why This one's for you. ⚠️ This episode touches on themes of mental health crisis and personal struggle. Listener discretion advised.

    The Witnesses (Chef Clark) / Warriors' Table Ep.05 S.II

    On this episode, we sit down with Chef Clark Myers Owner of Provisions JH in Jackson Hole. Inside his own kitchen for the first time. Clark's path started in Southern California, ran through national parks, Big Sky, and Lake Tahoe, and landed him as executive chef of Jenny Lake Lodge before COVID forced a pivot: a dinner delivery business with a friend that grew into a full catering company and bakery. We get into what actually breaks chefs the grind mentality, micromanaging your team into dependence instead of empowering them, relationships that quietly fall apart because the kitchen always comes first, and the drinking culture that becomes the default escape valve in this industry. Clark's three months sober and talks candidly about why. This one's about camaraderie over competition finding the other chefs in your city who are going through the same thing, and realizing you're not the only one in the weeds. If you've ever felt like this business slowly closes you off from everyone around you, this episode is for you.

    The Witnesses (Chef Brent) /Warriors' Table Ep.02 S.II

    Episode 2 of The Warrior's Table — Season 2: "The Witnesses" | Chef Brent opens with the first sit-down. Chef Brent, Steve's peer and fellow chef, takes the stand. This is the episode about the first disappearance. September 2023. Chef Steve was drowning — running a business, navigating a marriage in distress, holding too much for too many people. Brent saw it before Steve did. So Brent did something most friends wouldn't. He made a wager: $100 to disappear. To turn off the phone. To leave the weddings, the clients, the partnership, the dream that had quietly become the thing that was destroying him. Four weeks later, Steve sent visual confirmation from another state. Brent paid the $100. He calls it the best money he's ever spent. In this episode, Brent talks about what it looks like to watch a friend drown. What it means to throw someone the rope without pulling on it. And why "I'm fine" is the most dangerous sentence a chef can say. If you've been watching someone you love say "I'm fine" for too long — this episode is for you. — 🔪 TAKE THE FREE KNIFE CHECK ASSESSMENT A 30-minute confidential self-assessment for chef-owners.

    The Witnesses (Before They Speak) / Warriors' Table Ep.01 S.II

    Season 2 of The Warrior's Table opens with a confession: this podcast isn't about Chef Steve Murphy anymore. It's about what the people around him saw when he was the last person who could see it. In Episode 1, Steve hands over the microphone. He names what no one in the restaurant industry wants to name out loud: chefs are 1.4 times more likely to die by suicide than workers in any other profession. He talks about his own two disappearances, the moment he contemplated taking his life, and the people standing at the edges of his life who saw the collapse before he did. This season, those witnesses sit down each in their own room and tell you what they saw. Some in quiet places. Some in kitchens. Some in the middle of the fire.

    My Father's Kitchen / Warriors' Table Ep.09

    Every chef inherits a knife block. Not from culinary school. From the family kitchen. Steve Murphy sits with the question most of us spend a lifetime avoiding: what did our fathers hand us, and what are we handing to our kids? This is the story of Dennis; Steve's father, a Nabisco brands cookie salesman who worked six days a week for 36 years in Coos County, New Hampshire. A steady man. A faithful man. A man who didn't veer from the path in front of him. And the inheritance Steve realized he'd been living without ever picking up a single knife to examine it. "I am the risk I have chosen to become. I am consciously reshaping those lessons. Not to undo Dennis. But to honor him by doing the work he did not have a language for." Steve also tells the story of skiing with his youngest son, Grayson, the day before recording this episode and the moment on that mountain when he chose a different knife than the one he was handed. Your assignment before the Season 1 finale: look at your own inherited knife block. Pick one knife you're grateful for. Pick one that needs sharpening. Just see them clearly. That's the beginning. Episode 10 is the Season 1 finale. Don't miss it. Wydaho Warriors is a brotherhood for professional chefs built by Chef Steve Murphy in Victor, Idaho.

    Every warrior has a love story. This is Mine September 2023. The Oregon coast. A little yellow church. And a woman named Shannon who found me deep in the middle of my own disappearance. Right girl. Wrong time. This episode isn't about regret. It's about what love teaches a man who is still finding himself, and why you cannot offer your whole self to someone else until you've done the work of finding your whole self first.
