28
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: In this episode, she turns to yes, Hamburger helper. Have

29
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: you ever used it yourself?

30
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 2: I use it. I grew I am sixty years old.

31
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 2: I grew up like I was there when it was

32
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 2: made and put on the shelves in the grocery store.

33
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 2: I feel like my mother's like, oh, RERAI jesus, here's

34
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 2: the hamberg that help me? So, yes, I've have eaten it.

35
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 2: I've put a version in my cookbooks. Yes, I'm very familiar.

36
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: And so how would you put a Carla Hall twist

37
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: on it to take it to the next level? What

38
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: would you do with it?

39
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 2: So I think, first of all, you're not going to

40
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 2: use the box is like the difference between box macaroni

41
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 2: and cheese and homemade macaroni and cheese. So you start

42
00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 2: with your ground beef, but it could be ground chick

43
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 2: these days, it could be a ground meat substitute. And

44
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 2: then you add your seasons. You have onions, you have garlic.

45
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 2: If you like it's spicy, you can add a little

46
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 2: bit of chili flakes. Then you're gonna add some tomatoes.

47
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 2: It could be tomatoes sauce, or it can be dice tomatoes,

48
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 2: and you cook all of that up. Then you add

49
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 2: some liquid. It can be water, it can be stock.

50
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 2: And then you're gonna add in your noodle. So your noodles,

51
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 2: your little elbow macaroni actually cooks in the liquid with

52
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 2: the meat, so everything is saucy and delicious, and so

53
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 2: you don't have this bland pasta floating in delicious meat.

54
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 2: Once that's all done and the elbows soak up that liquid,

55
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 2: they're nice and al dente ish. Then you stir in

56
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 2: your cheese. That's the like a sharp cheddar I would love,

57
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 2: and then you dish it up and then you can

58
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 2: put partially on top. You can put more cheese on top,

59
00:03:59,240 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 2: and that's it.

60
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: What's your uncle, Well, you certainly answer that question. I

61
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: just had breakfast, but I think I want to go

62
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: eat some more. So also in the show, if you're

63
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: not familiar, we know about Rory and a lauralized obsession

64
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: with pop tarts. Oh my god, me too. Oh I

65
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: have to ask you about your butter tarts, which look amazing,

66
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: by the way, I have to get my hands on those.

67
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,559
Speaker 1: Walk us through this recipe and what inspired this unique

68
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: creation for it's a snack, right.

69
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, So my butter tarts are at a fresh fresh market,

70
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: the fresh market, and I love I love pop tarts,

71
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 2: I love pie. So this is a rustic tart. So

72
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 2: you just take a flat piece of dough. I love

73
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 2: cooked fruit. There are apples, there's cherry, and then there's

74
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 2: orchard fruit, which is a mix of apples and berries.

75
00:04:54,960 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 2: And the because my grandmother loves almonds, she put and

76
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 2: extract and everything. These tarts have a layer of marzipan

77
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 2: or an almond paste, which makes it so succulent and delicious.

78
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 2: And then there's real butter in the crust itself and

79
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 2: you just fold it there, fold it over. So it's

80
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 2: a snack. It can be a dessert, it can be breakfast.

81
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 2: If that's how you roll and they're so good, they're

82
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 2: not too sweet. I think there's something for everybody. Some

83
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 2: days I like the tarts. I like tart cherries, you know,

84
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 2: and some days I like the apple. This is very traditional.

85
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: Okay, you're Southern girl. Where are you from Nashville? Nashville?

86
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought you were in Tennessee. You were in

87
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 2: Tennessee at some point, I think last year. Yeah, I'm

88
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 2: from Nashville though.

89
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I went down Yeah, I was down there. I

90
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: was down there for a couple of days.

91
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

92
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: So your Southern roots play a huge role in you're

93
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 1: cooking gobbage. Let's talk about some of your most famous recipes.

94
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: Feel free to add what you think is your most

95
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: famous recipe, but your your perfect buttermilk biscuits, four cheese,

96
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: mac and cheese. Yeah, chicken pot pie, Oh my.

97
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 2: Gosh, yes, chicken pot pie.

98
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: Sweet potato. It's our tean. Can you walk us through

99
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: your secrets to making these dishes so good?

100
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 2: I think, you know, a lot of people think about

101
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 2: Southern food just being overly sweet. Maybe it's overly fatty,

102
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 2: overly salted. I think there's a difference between celebration dishes

103
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 2: and every day dishes. You you happen to name a

104
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 2: lot of everyday dishes, and I think there's technique in

105
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 2: making them, like my biscuits. I used to make biscuits

106
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 2: with strangers in New York. I would walk up to

107
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 2: people and I would say, do you know how to

108
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 2: make a biscuit? And if they said now, I'm like,

109
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 2: can I come near your house and make biscuits with you?

110
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: Because that's the equivalent of being a.

111
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 2: Buster right right exactly the street. I love that, And

112
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 2: mainly it was because people would send me to place

113
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 2: because they knew when I was from the South, and

114
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 2: they send me to places that they said they have

115
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 2: great biscuits and they were terrible. And I'm like, you know,

116
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 2: either you need to know how to make a great

117
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 2: biscuit or you need to know how to recognize one

118
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 2: at a restaurant. And for me, a great biscuit is

119
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 2: sort of crunchy on the outside and really light and

120
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 2: fluffy on the inside, and when it cools down it

121
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 2: is not hard as a stone. And so there's their

122
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 2: techniques involved. And so I think a biscuit is a

123
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 2: blend between shortening, which keeps it soft after it cools down,

124
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 2: and butter and you grate the butter to make it flaky,

125
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 2: and then you don't use bleached flour. All the people

126
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 2: out there who love white lily, I love you for

127
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 2: loving white lily. I'm from the South. That's why they

128
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 2: do white lily. But I like a hard winter wheat

129
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 2: like King Garthur because it browns nicer and you get

130
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 2: that crunchy golden top and fluffy in the center.

131
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: M in your opinion, do you have any recipes or

132
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: dishes that are perfect?

133
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 2: Yes, I think so I would be. I mean, this

134
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 2: is not a humble brag, but if I don't think

135
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 2: my food is good, then I shouldn't be cooking them, right.

136
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 2: I had. I had a fried chicken restaurant, Pearl Hul

137
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 2: Soul Cookion for for a very short time, Curlhule Soul Food,

138
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 2: and it was a love letter to Nashville. And so

139
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 2: I did hot chicken and I didn't make fried chicken

140
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 2: for the longest time. And once I started to perfect

141
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 2: my fried chicken, it really was one of the best.

142
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,839
Speaker 2: It was succulent, it was juicy, it was tangy. And

143
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 2: the secret I'm going to share this. The secret is

144
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 2: not the buttermilk where you add some liquid in and

145
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 2: then it gets the skin gets all flabby, and it

146
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 2: creates this pocket of air and moisture. But to use

147
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 2: all dry spices, so dried vinegar powders. If you want

148
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 2: to do buttermilk, do a buttermilk powder, and you put

149
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 2: that everything into the flour and you press it in

150
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 2: there and then let it sit for only a few minutes.

151
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 2: But vinegar powder creates this tagginess into the flower. It

152
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 2: goes and then into the fryer. So the skin stays

153
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 2: on the chicken and it and it is really hunchy

154
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 2: and delicious and a little bit tangy. Right right, I

155
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 2: just want you to about It was my job to

156
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 2: make you hungry. That's what I do.

157
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: Kill You're killing me right now. Man. I've already gained

158
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 1: ten pounds and I'm still on the couch because I cook.

159
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna I'll listen back to all this stuff

160
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: and I'll use some of these techniques.

161
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:30,079
Speaker 2: I love.

162
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: I love all those. I'm gonna try that dry vinegar

163
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 1: powder because I cannot, for the life of me, you know,

164
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: get that that that sort of u chicken skin to

165
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: do what I want it to do.

166
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 2: It's because you see these recipes and it's like, go

167
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 2: into the buttermilk season it, put flour on it, go

168
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 2: back in the refrigerator, let it get cold, come back out,

169
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 2: put more uh flower on it, and then you're just

170
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 2: creating I mean, it's going to be crispy, and it's

171
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 2: just creating this sort of wet pocket. But also that

172
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 2: you can also add corn starch to your flour mixture.

173
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: That gets it christy, Okay, any techniques that still challenge

174
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: you in the kitchen.

175
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, the other day, what was I'm making and I

176
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 2: get obsessed over something. I'm working on a baking book

177
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 2: that comes out next year, and I did not get

178
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,719
Speaker 2: on the craze of making sour dough with everybody else

179
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 2: during the pandemic, and so making bread for me was

180
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 2: I mean, I've made rolls. I make a lot of rolls,

181
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 2: but making bread and like bulls of bread is still

182
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 2: a challenge. And I'm afraid of yeast. I don't trust

183
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 2: when they say throw everything in the flour with the yeast,

184
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 2: the salt, the sugar and it's going to come out,

185
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 2: because I'm afraid that my bread isn't going to rise.

186
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 2: So that is still a challenge for me in doing

187
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 2: this book. I feel like I might look y'all, I'm

188
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 2: the chef doing bread and the home cook. So come

189
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 2: on this journey with me. I don't know everything, but

190
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 2: I'm willing to figure it out and we can figure

191
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 2: it out together.

192
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. Okay, let me ask you this. You're a

193
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:30,199
Speaker 1: big deal celebrity chef. Okay, TV chef. What's the thing

194
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: that you never expected?

195
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 2: Let me count the bays. I did Top Chef. A

196
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 2: lot of people don't know. I love when people come

197
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 2: to me, Oh, I saw you from the beginning, and

198
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 2: I'm like, well was the beginning when I did Top

199
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 2: Chef because I was forty four years old. Nobody pops

200
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 2: out of the womb at forty four years old, so

201
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 2: I was older, you know when I did Top Chef,

202
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 2: and I mean I was physically fit, so I think

203
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 2: people thought I was younger running around with those young people.

204
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 2: So when I did it as a personal challenge, when

205
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 2: I left, and I think being older, I was okay

206
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 2: with being myself, so I think people gravitated towards that

207
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 2: and the authenticity. So the first time that I was

208
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 2: recognized and I had on a hang up, I had

209
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 2: on a staff around my face and just my glass

210
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 2: is poking out and somebody says Carla, and I'm like

211
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 2: wait what, Like I'm not even trying to hide, but

212
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 2: it was just a cold day. And I think the

213
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 2: the being recognized and having people come up to me

214
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 2: is a really big surprise because I'm just like normal,

215
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,199
Speaker 2: you know, just a person. And when I'm on the subway,

216
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 2: they're like you take the subway in New York. I'm like, yep,

217
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 2: It's the most efficient way of travel. So everything that

218
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 2: has come out of that franchise of Top Chef and

219
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 2: doing the show twice has really been a surprise. And

220
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 2: then I've just turned it into a business, Like what

221
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 2: am I going to do with this platform? What do

222
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 2: I do with it? How can I make people's lives better?

223
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 2: You know? So it's it's all been a surprise.

224
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: You have a favorite person that you cook with, whether

225
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 1: it's in your kitchen on TV.

226
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 2: You know who I love cooking with and I love

227
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 2: his food. Michael Simon And I was with him on

228
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 2: the two and he's from Cleveland, and you eat Michael's

229
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 2: food and you're like, this man loves his mama. I

230
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 2: mean it is like this food that is so delicious,

231
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 2: and so it's just not precious. And he's such a

232
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 2: technically gifted chef that I love cooking with him, and

233
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 2: I'm always learning something.

234
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:44,319
Speaker 1: You've had. What I'm seeing here a very fascinating career path,

235
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: haven't you? Accounting, modeling, now a world renowned chef. Did

236
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: you ever imagine that you'd be where you are today?

237
00:13:55,160 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 2: And let me tell you. My first love was theater.

238
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 2: I wanted to be Carol Burnette. I wanted to be

239
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 2: the black Carol Burnette at twelve, that right, yes. And

240
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 2: I wanted to go to Boston University. I didn't they

241
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 2: were going to defer my admission. So I was like, Okay,

242
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,839
Speaker 2: forget this. I'm just going to go to Howard University. Okay,

243
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 2: I like my accounting teacher. I'll major in accounting. Okay,

244
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 2: I'm doing this. Okay, I'll work at a like a

245
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 2: Big eight accounting firm. Okay, I'm doing that. Okay, I'll

246
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 2: take the CPA exam. Okay I passed that. Okay, I

247
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 2: hate it. Okay, let me go to Motherling and then

248
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm over there modeling in Paris. I'm like, okay,

249
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 2: all the girls are getting together. And clicking in somebody's house.

250
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 2: I don't know how to do that. I hate not knowing. Okay,

251
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 2: let me go to the bookstore and let me learn

252
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 2: how to cook. And then I started a lunch delivery service,

253
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 2: and then I went to culinary school at thirty and

254
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 2: then things just kept rolling right. And then I know

255
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 2: that was a very quick answer to you.

256
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: I mean that's brilliant, absolutely brilliant.

257
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 2: And then when I turned fifty seven, I said, what

258
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 2: about the theater? I mean, really, everything that I've done

259
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 2: is performing. And so I decided upon my sixtieth birthday,

260
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 2: which was last year, that I wanted to do a

261
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 2: one woman show. And so, because that's the only thing

262
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 2: that I haven't picked up, like as it begins, it's

263
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 2: how it ends. I'm like, that's how I want my

264
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 2: life to end. And I and I and so I'm

265
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 2: working on a one woman show.

266
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: It's really tell us about.

267
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 2: It is about my life. The framework is me at

268
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 2: a clicking show. I don't say the shoe, but it's

269
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 2: at the chew and all the challenges that I had.

270
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 2: And then there are a lot of flashbacks going back

271
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 2: to when I was in theater camp and wanting to

272
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 2: be the black Carol Burnett and then like this back

273
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 2: and forth, like not wanting to accept food in my life,

274
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 2: you know, going Gray on national television at fifty and

275
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 2: so all of these different things. It's it has a

276
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 2: lot of audience participation there, like mixed media. There are

277
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 2: videos there. I bring people up to sort of be

278
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 2: on stage with me, and it's about nine minutes of

279
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 2: just me interacting with the audience and telling my story.

280
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: And how far along are you in this process? Is

281
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: it is?

282
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 2: It?

283
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: Is it written?

284
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 2: It's written? It's written, I mean, so there are still

285
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 2: things to sort of tweak it. I did a workshop

286
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 2: at Olney Theater in September and we're looking at directors.

287
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 2: It is going to be at the Only Theater, which

288
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 2: is a premiere regional theater in Maryland, in May of

289
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six.

290
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: Oh boys, and I'm going to do it.

291
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's at a small like black box theater

292
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 2: for four to five weeks for about two hundred. The

293
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 2: audience is about two hundred seats. And yeah, I'm excited.

294
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 2: I mean, it's pure, pure, It's so putting myself out

295
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 2: there being very vulnerable, but you know, in my life,

296
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 2: I'm I'm like, hey, why not. You know, I'm comfortable

297
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 2: with the uncomfortable, which is what I think Top Chef

298
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 2: gave me. Just putting myself out there and I can

299
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 2: fall flat on my face and okay, I would have

300
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 2: done it.

301
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: Yeah right. I mean, you can't grow unless you're a

302
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: little bit out of your comfort zone. Right, the water's

303
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: a little too deep, and you know that's how you grow. Man,

304
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 1: good for you. I wish you a ton of luck

305
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: with that.

306
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 2: Thank you.

307
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: I'll look out for that. That sounds very exciting. All right.

308
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 1: So let's talk a little bit about comfort food. Yeah,

309
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: because it plays such a big role in this episode.

310
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 1: What is your ultimate comfort meal just when you need

311
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: to feel good? You know?

312
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that was in New York. This is an easy,

313
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 2: easy answer. I like a big pot of beans, like mixedveins.

314
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter what it could be, white beans, mixed

315
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 2: beans like a soup, greens like collar greens, kale, and

316
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 2: corn bread. That is my fisepta. That is the be

317
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 2: all and end all. I mean I could taste it

318
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 2: right now. I mean, and to have that like everything

319
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 2: is cluked and then you make the corn bread. It's

320
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 2: in a cast stern skillet. You cut that wedge out,

321
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 2: it's a crispy edges, and then you take salted butter,

322
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 2: not unsalted, and then you turn the cornbread on its

323
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 2: side so the wedge is exposed, and you put that

324
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 2: butter on it and it melts, and then you have

325
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 2: all these other like your beans, and maybe some chowchow

326
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,360
Speaker 2: pickle or raw onions and the greens. And I am

327
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 2: in hog heaven, So.

328
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:33,199
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, what's the one dish that

329
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 1: takes you back to your childhood?

330
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 2: That corn bread? Literally the corn bread. My grandmother wouldn't

331
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 2: make it until we were on the inside of the door.

332
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 2: She knew we were coming at the church. She knew

333
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 2: it was thirty minutes, but she wouldn't The pan would

334
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 2: be the cast iron skillet would be in the oven,

335
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 2: but she wouldn't make it until we were there because

336
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 2: it would be coming out hot. And I knew once

337
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 2: she put that corn bread batter into that oil pan

338
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 2: and it starts curling up on the size to get chrispy,

339
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,120
Speaker 2: that we were going to be eating in twenty minutes.

340
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 2: No matter how hungry I was, it was going to

341
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 2: be twenty minutes. And it was like the first bite

342
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 2: before anything, and so I think that's why that's my

343
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 2: comfort meal.

344
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 1: Beautiful. Yeah, tell us a little bit about sweet Heritage.

345
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: It's a magazine dives into culinary traditions. Your first issue

346
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 1: includes recipes tailored for different personality types. What inspired you

347
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: to bring this approach to recipe creation? Can you share

348
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: an example of how specific personalities influenced dishes?

349
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,719
Speaker 2: So we decided to do this magazine. So with me

350
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 2: and I have a very small core taine to four

351
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 2: of us, and I'm always asked my team, I don't

352
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 2: want us to rise up like me as a pyramid

353
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 2: with me on top. I want us all to rise

354
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 2: up like a box. And my assistant has always wanted

355
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 2: to do a magazine. I'm like, okay, let's do it.

356
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 2: And I said, let's do it around manifesting. And I

357
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 2: always want to do something that I feel people can

358
00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 2: get something out of. And so it's like, well, finding manifesting,

359
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 2: finding your authentic self. And I'm really big into enneagrams.

360
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 2: Do you know aneagrams? Are you gonna take the test

361
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 2: after this, You're gonna listen back and take the test.

362
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 2: We're gonna find out what you are. Well, I am

363
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 2: a seven, which is the adventurer wing a very direct

364
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 2: and so there they are nine different types. And so

365
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 2: we did all of these recipes based on the different types,

366
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 2: Like if you are an adventurer, what you might wait make?

367
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 2: I have to look it up because I can't remember

368
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 2: the different types. I'm gonna look up cold please. And

369
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 2: in doing so, I had my whole team. Do I

370
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 2: have my whole team to do the test because I

371
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 2: want to know how you thrive and and in having

372
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:50,120
Speaker 2: the language to help understand who you are, then maybe

373
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 2: you can compliment what my gifts are. So and that's

374
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 2: what this magazine is about. So right for instance, so

375
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 2: so the helper, which is type two, they're the help

376
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 2: or they're the giver. And so we did something very comforting,

377
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 2: which is the chicken pop pie, which feels like, you know,

378
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 2: it could have easily been chicken soup because if your

379
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 2: friends are sick, you're like, oh, let me make soup

380
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 2: for you. Let me just come and give you some comfort.

381
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: So the first issue is stout what can we expect

382
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: with the second issue of the magazine.

383
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 2: The second issue is going to be about an adventure.

384
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 2: It's going to be about doing something that you've never

385
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 2: done before, put yourself out there, but also realizing that

386
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 2: you can have an adventure in your own city by

387
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 2: going to different restaurants and different cultures. You can do

388
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 2: an adventure by doing something new that you want it

389
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 2: to do. You can have your just go on a tour.

390
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 2: One of the things that I'm doing with my team,

391
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 2: we are doing a road trip to Nashville, and we're

392
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 2: stopping in different cities, so we'll document this whole thing.

393
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 2: We're stopping in diffferent cities. We're going to Bristol, Virginia,

394
00:21:56,119 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 2: We're going to be in West Virginia, and we'll we're

395
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 2: going to go on one of those rides where you're

396
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 2: on the train tracks and it's like paddle boats, but

397
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 2: it's on a train and you're like paddling along. So

398
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 2: we're planning all of these different things and we will

399
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,719
Speaker 2: share it with you on the magazine. My husband is

400
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 2: taking a train trip from Kalamazoo to Burbank, California, and

401
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 2: so he's going to do a piece. But it's really

402
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:23,439
Speaker 2: about getting out of your comfort zone and finding joy

403
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 2: in adventure.

404
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 1: That's great, so great speaking of that, if you were

405
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: could share a meal with anyone from Gilmore Girls, who

406
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: would it be and what would you cook for them?

407
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like we're talking about Lorelai. We're

408
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 2: talking about comfort food, and we're talking about something that

409
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 2: you want it to be easy, and it's something that

410
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,400
Speaker 2: I think she would do. And it's always about surprising

411
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 2: somebody about something that they may want to cook and

412
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 2: surprising them that they could actually make it. So I

413
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:58,199
Speaker 2: am going to say, and this is just coming to

414
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 2: me right now, I'm going to add some pimento cheese.

415
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 2: I'm going to have her do a burger because that's

416
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 2: my last meal and I want to share that with her.

417
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 2: But we're going to do it as a chicken burger

418
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 2: because we're in the South, instead of fried chicken, and

419
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 2: then pimento cheese, some pickles on that, a toasted bun,

420
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 2: and then we're gonna make some French fries and also

421
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 2: onion rings and a sweet tea soda.

422
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,360
Speaker 1: All right, staying with this theme, Yes, if you were

423
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: to come into Luke's Diner, what would you order and

424
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:43,360
Speaker 1: where would you sit?

425
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 2: Okay, the first thing I'm going to order is the

426
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 2: hot chocolate because I love hot chocolate. I don't care

427
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 2: where I don't care what time of year. I love

428
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 2: hot chocolate. I want whipped cream on top. I want chocolate, shadies.

429
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 2: I may gill a bit overboard about what I want

430
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 2: in my hot chocolate. And I'm gonna sit in the

431
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 2: back by the window, okay. And the reason I shows

432
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 2: that seed is because I'd like to see people coming in.

433
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 2: I also like to see what's going on outside. I

434
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 2: also like to see people's faces as they the anticipation

435
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 2: of coming into a restaurant and what they're going to

436
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,159
Speaker 2: have and their experience. So I like and then I

437
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 2: like to still watch them after when they order and

438
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 2: as they're eating. So it's a whole experience for me.
