  • PSA hardcore kitchen conversations

    High level, intelligent conversations about the many sides of our profession as chefs. Great for aspiring newcomers to learn from conversations that they won’t be privy to in a busy industry. Excellent interviews with the best people in the business hosted by a chef who himself has probably forgotten more than most will ever know.

    Thank you CHEFS PSA

Q: What inspired your next move after leaving Homewood and how did you approach the new concept?
A connection from a Homewood admirer led to conversations that evolved into a small, four-course tasting concept in a 2,000 sq ft space at Fair Park, with a focus on seasonality, pacing, and guest choice.

Matt McCallister on Getting Sober, Losing His Restaurant, and Why He Is Going Back Ep. 212
Q: Was there a lot of pressure when you first opened FT33 and what was that like?
There was immense pressure to deliver at a high level; the early reviews and the expectation of being on top in Dallas created a rigorous, sometimes destabilizing environment.
RJ Yoakum on Imposter Syndrome, Meat Cookery, and What Nobody Tells You Ep. 210
Q: What were some of the biggest mentorship lessons learned from Dave Breeden and Thomas Keller?
Yoakum explains that mentorship felt like a grandpa-dad dynamic, emphasizing learning the established processes before injecting personal creativity, and recognizing the importance of leadership, culture, and patience in building a team.
Michelin Stars, Brisket Mastery, and the Price of Success Ep.205
Q: What role do resting and timing play in achieving perfect brisket, according to your cookbook and practice?
Resting is essential for flavor and texture; a long heated rest, often overnight, helps the meat settle, retain moisture, and finish with optimal tenderness, with rest strategy tailored to season and serving schedule.
