62
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: jump around a little bit, but I want to start

63
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: first what you just said by the show is geared

64
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: towards the black millennial woman because their unique styles of

65
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: eating food compared to their parents and older siblings. I

66
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: have a daughter who's twenty four and she loves the

67
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: Food Network, watches it all the time, watches it all

68
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: the time. And then now she's like she she was

69
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: one of the favorite shows, is that the worst cooks

70
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: watch that. She couldn't believe I interviewed and morell she couldn't.

71
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: She could damn you know her, you know her. She

72
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: she didn't saw unit once because Nazi I was interning

Speaker 1: it will dude, because you know everybody. And so I know,

77
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: that really caught me off guard that here's a twenty

78
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: four year old person who's watching the Food Challenge and

79
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: the Cooking Channel so much talk about that whole generation

80
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: that is now you know, more into like the self help,

81
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: do it myself, do it yourself, and you guys are

82
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: supplying that and that is the whole cornerstone of New

83
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 1: Soul Kitchen. That is so true, and that's what's driving

84
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: a drive with the band with now and and it's

85
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: funny you mentioned Chef and Burrell, which is a good

86
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: friend of mine. Chef and Burrell is whom I did

87
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 1: my first TV show with the Food Network about eleven

88
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: years ago. The name of the show with Chef won't

89
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: it was and Burrell, And they brought me to New

90
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: York City in and had me to take over the

91
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: oldest steak house in in New York City by the

92
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: name of Old Homestead and gave me their restaurant Fortnite.

93
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 1: Amazing experience. But now the way, the way, time, the

94
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: way the market is point it is. We're in the

95
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 1: d I y or do it yourself society now where

96
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 1: the millennial woman is driving that. And one of the

97
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: biggest things is is they see what they go to

98
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: restaurants and they eat great food, but then after they

99
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: eat it, they want to go home and recreate it,

100
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: versus when the people before as we're going and they

101
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: go in the restaurant and they eat great food. What

102
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: they're saying is I can't wait to go back to

103
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: the restaurant. But the driving force that's watching TV now

104
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: and they can go to the restaurants, but they see it,

105
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: they want to recreate that experience, not just for themselves,

106
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 1: but for them for their friends because we're in this

107
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: more innovative driving platform. Inded. You know, even though the

108
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: pandemic has been a big downside for a lot of people,

109
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: it's been a upside for the food industry because people

110
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: who were normally eating out and and living for the week,

111
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: kids just to eat. We were quarantined at home and

112
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: they had no choice but to cook or they're gonna

113
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: be eating cold cousin balogni every day. Absolutely. Now. My daughter,

114
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: like just yesterday, she uh, she made some cream spinach

115
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: for me. I didn't even ask her to make the

116
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: cream spinach, and she I said, what did you learn that?

117
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: I saw it on The Worst Cook? Because she worst

118
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 1: I'm telling say, try his daddy, And like, here's the

119
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: thing about The Worst Cook really is inspiring a lot

120
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 1: of people who can't cook cauld They get to see

121
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: the progression, you know, a person who can't cook making

122
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 1: an all the mistakes. Suddenly at the end of the

123
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: show they can cook. And so they and it's not

124
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: pre perfricating. No, it's not. It's not. And so I'm

125
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: just letting you know that that you know, I'm just

126
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: I'm talking about that, but you know, we're talking about

127
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: So Kitchen. But I'm just using my daughter as an example.

128
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to get away from the concept of

129
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: who or what you're doing with your new show Cleto TV.

130
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,679
Speaker 1: I'm just using an example of that. You're talking my millennial.

131
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 1: My daughters a millennial. So she is that person that

132
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: you're talking about on Cleo TV, your Clear TV show,

133
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: Knew So Kitchen that is now driving the digital, driving

134
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: the social force of your show. Now, let me ask

135
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: you this about New Soul Kitchen. Did it start out

136
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: like that? Was that the original concept? Yeah, that was

137
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: the original concept with New Soul Kitchen, um, which is

138
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: which is as you know with Cleo TV. It was

139
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: a new network when it when at Lunched two years

140
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: ago and it really blossom and took off. It took

141
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: out fashion and what we realized it was and and

142
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: the thing was, we knew it was a need. The

143
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: network knew it was a need for this why they

144
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: created it. But what she realized that the need was

145
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: gonna take off the way it did. You know, even

146
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: with season one of New so Kitchen, the way it

147
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: was where it was initially set up. It was me

148
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: a Southern chef that was cooking American cuisine fair and

149
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,679
Speaker 1: their parent me with the vegan chef because they knew

150
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: veganism was big and the Lennyr culture. So what they

151
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: did was going into season two, which will be we

152
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: season two of the airing in October, and I'm so

153
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: happy I would had the ability to film season two

154
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: literally days before the pandemic shut down New York. I was.

155
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: I was on the first thing smoking out of there.

156
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: But the way season two is gonna be set up

157
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: is of course me as a sol host, but I

158
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 1: have four amazing young women that have expertise and different

159
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,719
Speaker 1: fields that are gonna be joining me through the sixteen episodes.

160
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:42,359
Speaker 1: UM one young lady specialized in veganism, another one specializes

161
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: in the African diaspora, another one specializes in keto, and

162
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:52,320

163
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: on all of those areas so you get to experience,

164
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 1: to fear, get to experience these different cuisines and what

165
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: I do is it Instead of just cooking how I

166
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,719
Speaker 1: typically would cook, I step into their coach and their

167
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,439
Speaker 1: world and I create meals that are comparable to go

168
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: just alonge with them. So you have, as we call it,

169
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 1: the Yen and the yet you get the best of

170
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: both worlds with this new season. Now the cool thing

Speaker 1: production that and I shot twenty eight episodes in eight days. Okay,

191
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,959
Speaker 1: you did it like Tyler Perry that you know, Tyler

192
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: Parachute series. You know, twenty five episodes in a week.

193
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: You know, so if Tyler Perry can do it, you

194
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: know you can do it for a cooking show. Hey,

195
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: I said, why not? I was like, er job the bunny,

196
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: just wind me up and just let me go. Well,

197
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: you know, think about it. Now, what period? And now

198
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: let's let's slow it down here so I can make

199
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: sure I'm getting all all the information. Crrec Now, the

200
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: New Souls Kitchen show was shot righting in New York City,

201
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,479
Speaker 1: right before the pandemic shot down, right that was sixteen episodes,

202
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: four different female chefs, millennial chefs are coin with four

203
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: different styles of and then you're gonna match their cooking

204
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: styles based on how you present stuff, right, correct? So

205
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,599
Speaker 1: which is really smart not saying that the host that

206
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 1: was their last year actually she's just all she could

207
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 1: do with vegan. So this year you start with a vegan,

208
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 1: but you got the African diosis. Then you have with

209
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: the keynot you said, and then the sea food, so

210
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: those are fordive. So it maintains the interests a lot

211
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: stronger and allows the people not to think it's the

212
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: same old, same old, because guess what, not everybody is

213
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: into veganism. That's not nothing that right, but not everybody.

214
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: It's nothing natives because you don't have to be in

215
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: the veganism. The eat veganism. As I always tell people,

216
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: anytime you get your plate, you always don't have your

217
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: meat and two sides. So you eat vegan food with right,

218
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: right right, with a little protein. That Russian that was

219
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: eat like me. That's you know, I'm gonna have some

220
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 1: meat in my college greens. I'm going to have it.

221
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 1: So I might have some vegan looking green, but it's

222
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: some meat dancing in that. And that sauce that's sauce there,

223
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 1: not another shif we've been known each other a long time,

224
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: we came together back in two seventeen, and I've been

225
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,720

Speaker 1: and uh so you could, you could? It gives you

234
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: an opportunity to practice. It's absolutely absolutely so so when

235
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: you go away and do a show like Cleo TV. Okay,

236
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,920

237
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: always talked about you doing your own show, and it

238
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: kind of feels like the Cleo TV is finally giving

239
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: you your leverage to be your own brand. How is

240
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: the relationship of building out your brand and time to

241
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 1: a show like New Soul Kitchen happening out your other

242

247
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: opening up the doors Cleo has really opened up the

248
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 1: doors to give me a voice and a platform. And

249
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: what they did was when when when I when I

250
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: came to Clear, we became a family. Instead of smuggling

251
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: out the light that I had from doing these shows

252
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: a countless years be Food Network and Cooking Channel, they

253
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 1: allowed me to use that knowledge blossom into who and

254
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: what I desired and what I wanted to see. You

255
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 1: know if that was one of the most amazing things

256
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: that I really loved, especially we're dealing with the exect

257
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: that Cleo and they the producers with Powerhouse Production is.

258
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: They gave me a for us and it was chef

259
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,560

Speaker 1: What do you want to see with the show? And

261
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: gave me more footing so and you know, it's something

262
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: about we you know you could do shows. Do you go,

263
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: You show up and they just give you the dialogue

264
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: and tell you, Okay, this is what we won't hear.

265
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: Nothing's wrong with that, but it's something about when he

266
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: asks you what do you want to see? What do

267
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:40,480

324
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,239
Speaker 1: done a disservice to the person who has asked me

325
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: for advice. And so you're gonna always get that advice.

326
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: Young man and uh As I call him a k

327
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: The Family Show. Now here's the thing I want to

328
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: talk about right here. You was talking about millennials being

329
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: health conscious. I'm reading your bio here about the show

330
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 1: New Soul Kitchen, which is on Cloe you over TV.

331
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: My my daughter she's been making these red velvet UH

332
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 1: donuts with uh with white iceing on them, you know.

333
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: And I'm trying to figure out. You said millennials are

334
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: wanting more health conscious food option. Now I'm trying to

335
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: figure out it's red velvet doughnuts with white ice and

336
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 1: health conscious it depended on how many bike take. Well,

337
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just gonna tell you this, Chiff. You know,

338
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: I've been eating two a day for five days. Bro

339
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 1: oh wow, I hope that maybe doughnuts. Unfortunately, you know

340
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 1: how come on now, if it was many doughnuts, I

341
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: know how you get down. I may have a different

342
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: millennial like that. I have a different millennial like that.

343
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 1: Think the thing is, like you said, what what's the millennial?

344
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,439
Speaker 1: They truly do believe in Hey, I can have my

345
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 1: cake and eat it too, along with everything else. But

346
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: what they do is they have they have active lifestyles.

347
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,120
Speaker 1: And also if you notice that the typical millennium, when

348
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: you see them, they don't overindulge um like the gene

349
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,719
Speaker 1: exs did you. You will see them in donus your

350
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: see them eating taking advantage of all their guilty pleasures

351
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: and then you cut another corner you will see them

352
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: didn't eating eating and kill salad. You know it is

353
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: because maybe it's because of of the way society has

354
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: started to gear things and the way they see it.

355
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: They look at food differently and the food that they

356
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: desire putting their bodies, it's different. You see them more

357
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: so on I'm cooking with this week hour, I'm using

358
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: whole grain, this, I'm farm to table. You know their

359
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 1: selection of food, they don't the millennials now, they don't

360
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: typically gravitate towards the process food like the generations prior

361
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: to them, and that's one of the things which allows

362
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 1: them to eat with it eat. You know, when we

363
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:25,360
Speaker 1: think about it, Ra Sean, I grandparents and our great grandparents,

364
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,919
Speaker 1: they ate what they want when they wanted it, from

365
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 1: from the fat back the router to the two do

366
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 1: you name it? They ate it and they lived a

367
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: long life. So what's the difference now? If the difference

368
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: is is what's being put in a lot of the food.

369
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: So when you become health conscious, Okay, I can eat this,

370
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: but let me figure out what's in it before I

371
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 1: eat it, so I know how much to eat or

372
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: how or women eat it or how to cook it,

373
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 1: and they changed it where we don't cook a lot

374
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: with with lard and cooking oils. You'll see you will

375
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: see the millennials gravitate towards avocado or olive or great

376
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:07,880
Speaker 1: sea or and it's those minor renew things that changes

377
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 1: their whole diet and have their body breaks down the food. Wow.

378
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 1: Now I'm talking to a chef. Gernard Wells, the family

379
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: chef his shows. He's coming back for the second season.

380
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 1: He's the solo chef. I can say he's a solo chef.

381
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 1: But he got four new additional millennial they millennial chelfs.

382
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 1: That's that's coming on. I have four amazing ladies that

398
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: of your mind, not focused when you're baking. When it

399
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:26,719
Speaker 1: says a teaspoon or smitch or peach, it best not

400
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:28,800

Speaker 1: and she had the sausage in there with her route

409
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 1: and she said, I don't think the rule is right.

410
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,199
Speaker 1: So I went over and take it. I'm gonna tell

431
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: you can say food, but you can't save a bad

432
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: messed up cake. You can do with the do with

433
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: the mess cake. If you got the ki with your

434
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 1: own when it comes to it, you're in trouble now.

435
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 1: One of the things that you know you mentioned about

436
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: bacon that's scaled, that you got is something else that

437
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 1: you used to the perfect baby with the mess. Now

438
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: they seemed like they will keep you that. That's almost

439
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: like fool It's almost like foolpool. But you still gotta

440
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: you know because dings if you missed the Dean because

441
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 1: you're listening to some music okay, because Joe got grooving

442
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,199
Speaker 1: and missing when they said okay, because that's when they

443
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 1: let you know that it's hit that correct measurement right,

444
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: white weight, uh, feeling in that cup. And so that's

445
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: how it goes like that. But when I when I

446
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 1: just say this to just transition to the fact that

447
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: I use your season, how is that all going the season?

448
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 1: And you you had the hand salitizer working doing COVID

449
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 1: their team. You're an entrepreneur at heart. How are your

450
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: other entrepreneurial things besides the fact that you physically are

451
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: cooking on shows? You physically are doing appearances on Rachel

452
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 1: Ray on your Instagram crown you're done paid virtual appearances.

453
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: How's the entrepreneurial side of you? And how did you

454
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: pivot doing the pandemic, oh man, during the pandemic, you know,

455
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: at first I was I was a little worried when

456
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: it when it first kicked out, But I tell you

457
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:29,160
Speaker 1: I've been nothing but blessed. The manufacturing business truly just

458
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: took off, you know, from all my signal and products,

459
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 1: because a lot of people didn't didn't and still don't

460
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: want to leave the home as much. You don't want

461
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: to go to a lot of grocery stores. So with

462
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 1: the products that I create, what hope was in they

463
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 1: are you know, all natural products, lower sodium, no M

464
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: S G S, no fruit toost concerts. So the sales

465
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: did more than quadruple, you know, and and where we

466
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,040
Speaker 1: had we had to ramp up production just to be

467
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: to keep up with it and satisfy the demand, which

468
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: was most certainly a good problem to have. You know.

469
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: During the course to that, I even lunched lunch of

470
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 1: new products in the process, where I have an amazing

471
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: lemon pepper ranch that I'd say that's that's great on everything.

472
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: The kids truly love thel. And what I did was

473
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: because we are millennial driven, is I started leaning on

474
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 1: my kids, my my my eighteen and nineteen year old

475
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,919
Speaker 1: and my younger ones. I started leaning on them on

476
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 1: their taste budzs, What are some of the things that

477
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: they liked, what are some of the things they friends eat?

478
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: And I started creating products based around that that would

479
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: meet the need of them. But then steel satisfy our

480
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: taste buddzs and what we like because I always you know,

481
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:49,120
Speaker 1: I learned this years ago, was that having the shows

482
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: and having that platform was one thing, but that platform

483
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: don't mean anything if you don't have some true products

484
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 1: and true things that you can attach to your brand

485
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: even when you're not on TV. And that's important because

486
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:08,959
Speaker 1: that's called multiple streams of income. And and also some

487
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 1: people calling mailbox money or you're sleeping check comes and

488
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: because in the end, in the end, you can't be

489
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 1: up making money all the time, off your physical back,

490
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 1: your effort to wake up, and you have to walk

491
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,880
Speaker 1: out that door to uh make labor. And that's how

492
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: everybody makes their money. They go to the nine to five.

493
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 1: And but when you get in there, and then guard

494
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: giving is giving you these extra skill sets. You have

495
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,479
Speaker 1: to learn how to be how to be smart. And

496
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: that's all you're saying right now, you're just you just

497
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: start out that multitasking. Like like I said, I got

498
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 1: your I got your your your red and white bottle,

499
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 1: that that hand sanitizer that every time you put it up,

500
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 1: your shell out on it. I know your family, your family,

501
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 1: and that's a family business because I know you put

502
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 1: it all together at your house, right I did. I did.

503
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: Now we do have a you know, I do have

504
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 1: a commercial kitching that we produced the bad ma Joia

505
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: Hard part of seeing. But when the pandemic first hit

506
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 1: and we couldn't go out the house, I had to

507
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 1: I had to converted space in the house and we

508
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: had to continue to to keep producing here to satisfy

509
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 1: the demand. Because even though I'm not the big companies

510
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: like Crafts and mccormicks, I still have to satisfy my customers.

511
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,479
Speaker 1: And I couldn't put a we're closed down and a

512
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of these other bigger manufacturers like

513
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 1: my bottle suppliers and stuff like that, I was getting.

514
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: It came to a point where we were getting outbided

515
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 1: on products because Singer Companies was coming in buying up

516
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: the products, and you know, and I had to start

517
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: really voicing my opinion from my company standpoint, like, hey,

518
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: but I've been dealing with you guys for ten years.

519
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: You guys gonna have to give me some kind of

520
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: favor in some kind of league way, because I gotta

521
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: survive just as well as the major companies. And that

522
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: led into them making sure that I had the ingredients,

523
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 1: maybe sure that I had a lot of the beaching

524
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: attempts that I needed to continue to get these products

525
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: shipped out to the people. Because then also we launched

526
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: the Sirrup. We lunched uh no high fruit toast corn

527
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: sir Oh, yes, yes, I got that, man, I got more.

528
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: I put that. My daughter made some again. My daughter

529
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: she's watching TV. Okay, watching Millennial. The Millennial made me

530
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 1: some thin waffles, some thin waffles, and I warmed up that,

531
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: warmed up that sirrup. Brother put it on that. Man,

532
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: we meet some butter I'm doing. You know, I forgot

533
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: to tell you that, I I apologize, I did try

534
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: to serve and it's all gone, all gone. I have

535
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: to make sure tea something that and as well as

536
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 1: in the process we've launched the chopping boys. I have

537
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 1: some bamboo chopping boys. I'm gonna I'm gonna make sure,

538
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: I've seen your bamboo chopping boy. And I have a

539
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: New Life night line that was just lunch about two

540
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: weeks ago. So I have my own volcanic Deo nice

541
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 1: Um the chef the art line. Because one of the

542
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 1: things that I always tell people, you know, I'm in food.

543
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: So whenever i'm lunching or creative products, I try to

544
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: keep it in that same wheelhouse because a lot of

545
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: people said, well, how are you doing out this? You're

546
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: doing TV show you you're doing that. Well, when you

547
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: keep it on this diversify from that same wheelhouse, it's

548
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 1: easy to maintained. So if I write a cookbook, hey,

549
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,160

580
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 1: I already know the episode. The name of the restaurant

581
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 1: is called Homemade, and home Homemade is an Athens, Georgia.

582
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: They have to have a dish that's called the ham

583
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 1: and cheese Salvage, but it's not like ham and cheese

584
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 1: in a traditional sense. What they do is they take

585
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 1: that that pork loin and they smoke it until it

586
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: fall apart into little chunks. After they smoke it with

587
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 1: their hickory wood, then they take a pepper jelly, put

588
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 1: it in the cash and skill it drop those chunks

589
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: of porch in their salt tear weather pepper jelly is

590
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 1: glazing all over that loin. And when they're doing it,

591
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 1: then they're gonna make a perimento cheese from scratch. And

592
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: once they make that perimento cheese and scratched in and

593
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: make these milk rows, these milk butter rolls that melt

594
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: in your mouth, almost like how those Hawaiian eese rolls,

595
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: except you could tell these right here made from scratch,

596
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: and when it comes out on the plate, you got

597
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: those salte pepper jelly slices of that point law in ham,

598
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: that permento cheese and those milk rows and you build

599
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 1: those sellingers out and everybody, I tell you, it's like

600
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 1: heaven in your mouth. You literally get the items at

601
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 1: the table and want to go to sleep. When you

602
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 1: see it under me, you say it's ham and cheese

603
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: that but it's nothing like the ham and teese selling

604
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 1: in the traditional sense. Man, right there, when I opened

605

Speaker 1: my new studio, we're gonna men, You're gonna produce a
