Airis Johnson on "Chopped," what it means to work hard, and writing a book
from Hungry for More : an Epicurean's Dilemma · host trish glose
Airis "The Chef" Johnson joins Trish once again on the podcast! The two catch each other up on what's been going on the last few years. This talented, funny, and 100% real chef talks about being on Food Network's "Chopped" (twice, Champion once!) and what it means to do reality TV. She shares how she's been helping others navigate the waters of reality TV in an effort to help them for their appearances. Airis talks about her work on a new book (not necessarily a COOKbook) and where she got the idea for an adult cartoon - not that kind of adult - just more mature cartoon. The two gripe about culinary mistakes they see others make in the kitchen, they chat about pantry staples, and cooking in general.
