There’s too much to type about how much joy I get out of listening to some of my idols share about their careers. Thank you Chris for doing what you do.
Great show. Great interviews. Sherry Yard is a national treasure
Just found this about a month ago, and have been listening voraciously. I’m a chef/cook as well and love hearing about work life balance, and how everyone is working on their own systems. I love this show! Keep up the great job! Can’t wait to visit your newer spot in PDX next time I’m in town. Love running into you in Napa.
Like the podcast but I can barely hear it even when I have everything on max volume. What’s up?
