Arizona Cannabis Master Chef Derek Upton

Send us Fan MailWassup glorious humans (and plants, fungus and animals too), you beautiful conglomerations of flickering quarks and gluons... I appreciate you all! In this episode we welcome local chef and all-around dope dude Derek Upton to the podcast. Derek is the culinary wizard behind the innovative and delicious menu at the Midtown Phoenix craft beer and wine eatery, Original Gravity. You can check out the OG at: https://www.ogphx.com/. We talk about Derek's journey from the hardscrabble streets of Fresno, CA to becoming an up and coming taste-maker (pun intended) in the Phoenix culinary arts scene. Derek opens up about an ordeal in which his heart stopped beating for 4 1/2 minutes after a catastrophic asthma attack, his recovery from the incident and subsequent new found perspective on life. We also discuss how his Portuguese Gypsy ancestry impacts his worldview and informs his natural empathic gifts, his views on energy work and fashioning positive Feng Shui in one's living space, and a host of other topics. This is an episode not to be missed! Enjoy! Support Barbarian Noetics at: www.patreon.com/noetics, or by rating and reviewing the podcast on iTunes and Castbox.
