Bread, Oil, and Real Talk with Chef Michael Guerrieri

What this episode covers

Jay and Domenic sit down late at night with Chef Michael Guerrieri for a raw, funny, and heartfelt conversation about life in the kitchen. Chef Michael opens up about growing up in a family of bakers, why he chose cooking over baking, and how simplicity and culture shape the food he makes today. They dive into bread traditions from Italy and Portugal, the art of olive oil, and why some old‑school methods still beat trendy shortcuts. It’s part storytelling, part culinary masterclass, with Chef Michael sharing his morning rituals, his thoughts on menu simplicity, and how a single great product can define a concept. If you love behind‑the‑scenes chef talk, this one’s all flavour and heart.
