My Father's Kitchen / Warriors' Table Ep.09

Every chef inherits a knife block. Not from culinary school. From the family kitchen.Steve Murphy sits with the question most of us spend a lifetime avoiding: what did our fathers hand us, and what are we handing to our kids?This is the story of Dennis; Steve's father, a Nabisco brands cookie salesman who worked six days a week for 36 years in Coos County, New Hampshire. A steady man. A faithful man. A man who didn't veer from the path in front of him. And the inheritance Steve realized he'd been living without ever picking up a single knife to examine it."I am the risk I have chosen to become. I am consciously reshaping those lessons. Not to undo Dennis. But to honor him by doing the work he did not have a language for."Steve also tells the story of skiing with his youngest son, Grayson, the day before recording this episode and the moment on that mountain when he chose a different knife than the one he was handed.Your assignment before the Season 1 finale: look at your own inherited knife block. Pick one knife you're grateful for. Pick one that needs sharpening. Just see them clearly. That's the beginning.Episode 10 is the Season 1 finale.
