Coming to you live from the 2024 National Pastry Conference in Charlotte NC, international superstar Chef (and Dark Lord of Pastry) ADRIANO ZUMBO sits down for a chat with Amused Bouche and reminds each of us to follow our passion: you never know where it might lead you.

After a year of waiting, the Chef Showdown is back! Jen and Abby recount their experience at the final event, where the best culinary and mixology talent across NC served guests sweet and savory bites featuring local North Carolina ingredients.

Put on your fascinators, friends - it's Battle Afternoon Tea! Marking the end of the long battle hiatus, Jen and Abby duke it out for best pairing with secret ingredients selected way back in Batch #61. Spoiler alert: there were no losers.

Jen and Abby welcome farmers market favorite Mary Wilson of Thoughtful Baking Co into the studio. Mary's baking up more than just pies...she's making it easier for you to find locally-made comfort food in the Queen City.

Another jam-packed session in the studio, Jen and Abby are inspired by the Ballantyne Hotel to set the stage for another food battle. They drool over their memories of a recent visit to Panzu, a must-visit restaurant and brewery in Mint Hill, and Jen and Abby reflect on recent unexpected cocktail experiences.

This is one indulgent batch, friends. Join Jen and Abby at Prime Fish Cellar as they sample sake, champagne, sashimi, and...the highlight of the evening...caviar! The team, led by General Manager Bill Cox, shares their immense knowledge and passion to help us learn a thing or two about this whole new world.
