Thus I’m starting a new project, “The Prix Fixe Podcast”; a weekly storytelling platform showcasing the new voices in the food and beverage industry.
While “great” art hangs in stasis on museum walls for ticketed clientele, gastronomical creations are ephemeral and arguably mirror more about culture. I am endlessly fascinated by the people behind the curtain - these seekers on a quest to tap into your emotional core via your taste buds. Who are they? What makes them tick? Why do they do what they do? What has been their emotional journey? While I am new to the podcasting format, it is an area I am eager to explore. My hope is that this new storytelling medium allows for discovery of creativity made by people I find interesting in one way or another.
I encourage you to listen, subscribe, and share the first episode with guests Issamu Kamide and Andrew Lardy of Wonderwerk House of Fermentation, who make disco-inspired, dance floor-ready wine you’ve been looking for. You can find it on Apple podcasts, Spotify, and anywhere else you listen to podcasts.
Cheers.
