from FINDING GOOD · host Mike Thompson

In this episode of The Finding Good Podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with PhilipSpeer, a remarkable chef and the founder of Comedor in Austin, Texas. Philip's journey is one of resilience, as he shares his experiences with addiction, recovery, and how running transformed his life.We touch on the significance of food as a means of connection and celebration - particularly in the context of his Mexican heritage, the recent Michelin Guide feature that has brought even more attention to the unique and delectable style of Comedor, and how addiction nearly killed him, but through fitness and community his life is more full than ever before.Finally, Philip passionately advocates for making high quality food accessible to all, and he shares his involvement with worthy initiatives like Field Guide Fest and his work with the Central Texas Food Bank.Enjoy!
