Dussé & Backwoods EP. 69 "THE ASSYRIAN QUEEN" (FT NATALIA )

Welcome to Dussé and Backwoods, The Real Negus Roundtable. I'm your host TUNDEEEEEE!! Aka Chocolate Papí aka TunGotJokes Twitter/IG/TikTok: @Tungotjokes Special Guest: @NATALIANASA On this episode of DAB Tun sits down with a Celebrity Chef, Non-Profit Founder, and Modesto, California native Chef Natalia. They start off the conversation talking about her upbringing and how she grew up in Modesto, California with her mother, step father and five step siblings. Natalia goes on to explain how she practically grew up on a farm and also ended up being a huge fan of country music due to her upbringing. Our Co-host T.Reg then goes to ask her about her ethnic background which she then informs us that she is a Assyrian-Iraqi American. Natalia goes into detail about Assyria, its history and how it is today, the country of Iraq. We then discuss about the family dynamic of being Assyrian and how they are extremely close and caring of each other, even though they tend to have family feuds and fight, but they always love each other. We then transition to how she got involved with going to culinary school and her love for cooking for her friends. She stated that she didn't even know that she was a good cook until she would be having gatherings at her apartment when she moved to LA, and all her friends would love and crave her cooking. She realized that cooking was not only something she was good at, but something that she had a true passion for. We talked about how she took a leap of faith at a wedding and asked the Chef that was catering a celebrity wedding she was at, if she could be his intern. That leap of faith ended up getting her the opportunity to cook for the Detroit Rapper Tee Grizzley, and eventually cooking for Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis. Like usual, our listeners are definitely in for a treat like always, this is one you do not want to miss! So sit back and enjoy the crazy world of Dussé and Backwoods. Yay! Yay!
