Summary
A.J. Sankofa, in my opinion, is the standard for all up and coming chefs/entrepreneurs. Began his career as a teenager bussing tables to spending time in Italy learning how to make pasta from Michelin Star chefs. COVID-19 has thrown us all a curveball. A.J. has chosen to hit it out of the park and over the West Side Highway. Alongside lifelong friends and family; built Eso Artisanal Pasta Shop out of a storefront in Morristown, NJ. Eso specializes in classic Italian pasta shapes and sauces. I find out how it all began, the trials he faced, and the obstacles he climbed over to reach his current status. We talk about his current vision and how it changed over time. Wrapping it up with how New York features in his career and how he's contributing to the industry. Accompanied by a bottle of Vietti's Nebbiolo Perbacco provided by Parcelle Wine Shop Recorded on August 18th, 2020 Hudson Yards, NYC --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/hotplatesandgrapes/support

Word on the Vine - Steffi Michelle
Release Date: 07/06/2021
Description: The Hot Plates & Grapes Podcast is back with a new series! Last year was a bit too serious for all of us, so this go-'round we're going to lighten things up a bit. Introducing, "Word on the Vine" a mini-series where we chat with the homies about whatever comes to mind. Shorter episode format because it's the summer and nobody got time for all that. Up first is Steffi Michelle, a native of the Boogie down Bronx & Founder of the Read of Roses Podcast. Her show breaks from society's rules and drops rose petals along the way by talking about mental health, beauty, astrology, fashion, and disco. We sat down and had an amazing conversation about our society as a whole, dove into my birth chart, and the current inspiration in her life. As of course, we always have some type of drinks so we pulled out Oxbow's Farmhouse Pale Ale's to quench our thirst. Press play and enjoy casual banter that will have you giggling more than your dentist appointments. .............
