Episode 6: The Warrior Chef

Episode 6 brings the one and only Warrior Chef. Jesse beaks into the interview scene with Charlie Huffstutler, @warriorchef. The rest of the team is sitting around getting hungry while chatting with our new favorite chef. Our Military Minute features the Purple Heart Project. It is a Canadian organization that allows physically and mentally Wounded Warriors an opportunity to find peace through wood working. *UPDATE* Since the recording of this episode, Charlie has been nominated to be one of America’s favorite chef. Winning this contest would go a long ways to help Charlie develop the Warrior Chef and after listening to this show we are confident that you will agree that nobody is more deserving. Voting begins 16 Feb. Please go to @warriorchef on Instagram and find the link in his bio….while you are there you might as well give the man a follow! Good luck Warrior Chef!
