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.
