S2 E1: What's Shade Been Up To?

TikTok's current favorite food critic came to our city! He's the hottest on the block right now, so naturally, we were excited to see the spots he tried and what he had to say about our city while he was on his food tour. 

We briefly discuss remixing Thanksgiving leftovers in super creative or... not so creative ways. Are you a fan or not?  We also talk extensively about goal-setting for ourselves and our businesses - avoiding the procrastination tactic of "starting on January 1st."

Last week, we caught up with Shade, and this week, we're catching up with Bethany. She shares a very little portion of her testimony, her new journey, and how she's been managing her new palate. 

We're back after a few months' break, and on this episode, we catch up on what Shade's been up to and a big food vending opportunity she was part of in the Chopd and Stewd  Food Festival.  We talk about the food vendors that also showcased their dishes and what she offered on her menu. 

Discussing the different ways chefs are choosing to present West African food to the world. 

Experiencing explosive flavors. 

All foods Owambe 

Pushing beyond your perceived limits. 

We can do hard things... like starting this podcast. 

We are super excited about THE FFO PODCAST. We want to create a space where we celebrate and shed more light on our African dishes, ingredients, and personal stories, as well as share new food experiences, whether from travels, tasting, learning, and embracing that of other cultures and their food. At the table, with food and storytelling, we are all ONE!
