Send us a textThe heart of the culinary industry isn't found in offices or award ceremonies – it's at the stove. Chef Brent Weathers proves this with every dish he creates and every truth bomb he drops in this refreshingly honest conversation about what really happens behind kitchen doors.Unlike many of his contemporaries who chase titles and management roles, Brent deliberately chose a different path. By remaining "titleless," he gained something far more valuable: direct mentorship from renowned chefs, opportunities to travel for pop-ups and restaurant openings, and the freedom to focus purely on craft. "I'm literally living my dream," Brent shares, explaining how his happiness comes from cooking rather than administrative duties.Through his social media series "Brentflix" and "Massaclass," Brent exposes the dysfunction that plagues professional kitchens – from improper food storage to careless handling practices. His unflinching documentation serves a crucial purpose: showing aspiring chefs the unvarnished reality of an industry often glamorized by television.  Introducing the SupraCut System - the automated solution that enhances safety, quality, and efficiency, cutting up to 120 perfect citrus wedges per minute, 6 times faster than manual.

Send us a textDawn breaks over Tampa's shrimp docks as Chef Thomas Parker begins a culinary odyssey that will fundamentally transform how he approaches his craft. This powerful journey, captured in Walk- In Talk Media's debut mini-documentary, takes us beyond the polished restaurant plates to the weathered hands that first touch our food.At the docks, we meet shrimper, “Morris Gump”, a character straight from central casting whose stories of 45-day fishing expeditions yielding just $1,300 reveal the harsh realities behind commercial fishing. "Can you imagine what kind of turmoil you go through internally on a boat?" host Carl Fiadini asks, highlighting the mental and physical challenges these essential workers face daily. These moments of raw humanity give viewers rare insight into the true cost of seafood.As Chef Parker moves from the docks to blueberry farms and local markets, he reconnects with what he calls "the lost art" of being a chef—personally selecting ingredients and building relationships with producers. His enthusiasm becomes palpable when foraging for Florida's freshest offerings, culminating in an innovative dish combining Key West pink shrimp, Florida blueberries, and sweet corn. The unexpected pairing showcases Parker's technical prowess through a blueberry harissa glaze and a remarkable poached shrimp and corn cake that demonstrates how deeply understanding ingredients elevates creativity.What makes this documentary particularly compelling is its authentic, unscripted approach. Even when torrential rain threatened filming, the team embraced the elements—just as farmers and fishermen do daily. "You think the shrimpers or farmers stop because it's raining outside? Heck no," Parker remarks.

Send us a textThe sizzle of fat dripping onto hot embers, the aromatic smoke wafting upward, and the unmistakable char marks on a perfectly grilled steak – few things speak more directly to our primal connection with food than cooking over live fire. For Chef Aaron Brooks, this elemental approach to cooking bridges his Australian roots and his current home in Miami's vibrant culinary landscape.Growing up on Australia's Gold Coast, Brooks found himself drawn to the kitchen rather than the famous surf breaks. Under his mother's guidance, he developed an appreciation for quality ingredients and the joy of bringing people together around a table. "Mom was always getting me to try new things," he recalls, describing how she embraced diverse cultural influences in her cooking. These early experiences laid the foundation for a culinary philosophy centered on simplicity, quality, and genuine hospitality.Brooks' journey from backpacking Australian cook to executive chef took him through Four Seasons properties in Vancouver, Boston, and finally Miami, where he spent years leading Edge Steak and Bar before making the leap to Sunny's Steakhouse in the city's burgeoning Little River District. This transition allowed him to return to his passion: hands-on cooking with a focus on exceptional ingredients prepared over live fire.Introducing the SupraCut System - the automated solution that enhances safety, quality, and efficiency, cutting up to 120 perfect citrus wedges per minute, 6 times faster than manual.

Send us a textSacrifice, resilience, and cultural pride converge in this profound conversation with Chef Nelson Millán, whose remarkable journey from Puerto Rico to global culinary ambassador demonstrates the transformative power of unwavering commitment.Born in Puerto Rico and initially pursuing law to please his father, Millán's life changed course when he discovered his true calling in the culinary arts. Their cultural disconnect was immediate – his father dismissively asked if he wanted to be "like the little ladies in the kitchen" rather than a "prominent lawyer." This reflection on Latin American perceptions of professional cooking opens a fascinating window into how cultural attitudes toward culinary careers have evolved.The depths of Millán's dedication become apparent as he recounts sleeping in his van between closing Wendy's at 3 AM and attending baking classes at 6 AM. These sacrifices built the character that would later define his leadership style and commitment to mentorship. His gratitude toward the "angels" who supported him – particularly his mother and also school coordinator Alicia Rivera who drove him to school for three months – reminds us how critical support networks are in achieving our dreams.Millán's expertise ultimately led him to write curriculum for the Culinary Institute of America's Latin Caribbean studies program and travel globally as an Ambassador for Australian Beef. His newest venture, Sofrito cubes, represents his vision of sharing authentic Latin flavors with the world in a convenient format – his "gift from Latin America to the world" akin to how tikka masala and marinara sauce have transcended their origins.For anyone fascinated by the intersection of cultural identity, culinary innovation, and personal determination, thIntroducing the SupraCut System - the automated solution that enhances safety, quality, and efficiency, cutting up to 120 perfect citrus wedges per minute, 6 times faster than manual.

Send us a textWhen Chef Fionna España was told she should "just stay home" because she had "too many kids" to become a real chef, she didn't just push back—she made history. As the first female president of the LA chapter of the American Culinary Federation in over 100 years, this proud Latina executive chef has transformed barriers into stepping stones."I didn't realize that it was a male-dominant industry," Fionna reveals with characteristic candor. "I thought women belonged in the kitchen until I got my first job and didn't see a lot of women on the hot line." Rather than accepting these limitations, she used them as fuel, setting an ambitious goal to become an executive chef before 40—a milestone she achieved at 38.What sets Fionna apart isn't just breaking glass ceilings but how she's using her leadership to lift others. During the LA wildfires, she mobilized resources to raise over $20,000 in just one week for first responders. "I used my powers for good," she reflects during a rare moment of self-acknowledgment. This community focus extends to her approach with the next generation of culinary professionals, whom she encourages to balance work ethic with self-care.Meanwhile, Chef Thomas Parker dazzles with his culinary wizardry, presenting three show-stopping dishes including a mojo-crusted carne asada fIntroducing the SupraCut System - the automated solution that enhances safety, quality, and efficiency, cutting up to 120 perfect citrus wedges per minute, 6 times faster than manual.

At just 21 years old, Chef Christian Barruos-Brens exemplifies the latter, having built a thriving culinary career from the most challenging circumstances life could throw his way.Christian's remarkable journey began at 16 when his mother's cancer diagnosis became the catalyst for discovering his culinary calling. Rather than succumbing to despair, he began selling homemade treats from a duffel bag in school bathrooms, earning the nickname "the duffel man" while supporting his family through crisis. When COVID hit, he pivoted to Uber Eats, demonstrating the entrepreneurial spirit that would become his hallmark.The invention of Christian's signature "Cafecito Brownie" reveals the emotional foundation of his culinary perspective. After his father's unexpected passing, Christian channeled his grief into creating a Cuban coffee-infused brownie that honored their shared morning ritual of enjoying coffee together. This creation went on to win awards at major Miami food festivals, competing against established professionals despite Christian being the youngest competitor and still a culinary student.What sets Christian apart isn't just his cooking skills but his remarkable media savvy and presencIntroducing the SupraCut System - the automated solution that enhances safety, quality, and efficiency, cutting up to 120 perfect citrus wedges per minute, 6 times faster than manual.

Send us a textBreaking…..The New York Times uncovered something gigantic!As Walk- In Talk Media is to understand, the restaurant industry is facing a bombshell report that has uncovered a scheme to keep wages low and workers’ rights suppressed. According to a New York Times investigation, the National Restaurant Association has been using mandatory food safety classes to force workers to unwittingly fund lobbying against wage increases. The report found that the National Restaurant Association has been using a “mandatory” food safety class to force workers to pay for their own training. The fees for the classes are then used to fund the Association’s lobbying efforts against wage increases. The Association has also been using the fees to fund its own political activities, including campaign donations to politicians who oppose wage increases.The report has been met with outrage from workers and labor advocates. They argue that the Association is exploiting workers in order to protect its own interests.#NYTIMEShttps://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/17/us/politics/restaurant-workers-wages-lobbying.html?smid=url-share&fbclid=IwAR3aIntroducing the SupraCut System - the automated solution that enhances safety, quality, and efficiency, cutting up to 120 perfect citrus wedges per minute, 6 times faster than manual.

Very educational without you even knowing you’re getting schooled, in a good way, sometimes!

Send us a textWalk-In Talk: Podcast sessions are not recorded in a studio, but remotely in hotels, restaurants, farms or anywhere you will find food and the people that bring that food into existence. We recorded two sessions at Circle C Farms last week. One with Stropharia Mushroom Farm (go to my website and donate to their GFM page-www.TheWalkInTalk.com) and the second was with Nicole Cruz, owner of Circle C Farm in Bonita Springs, Florida. She had a lot to share about the farm life. Nicole gave insight into the realities of natural disasters and the loss of livestock. I greatly appreciate Chef Jeffrey Schlissel accompanying us and taking part in creating the podcast. By the way - shots were fired at the end of the prior episode… Seth from Stropharia Mushroom Farm went full Jersey on whether or not the correct sayingIntroducing the SupraCut System - the automated solution that enhances safety, quality, and efficiency, cutting up to 120 perfect citrus wedges per minute, 6 times faster than manual.

Send us a textFirst thing - do not judge!  We’re stoked about our impromptu, last minute, maiden voyage so to speak! ; this is our FIRST EPISODE! 🤓😅🎙So there I was, minding my own business. Willie and I had an easy film day scheduled at Sal Y Mar Rooftop Bar in Tampa. When all of a sudden, I get a call from a dear Chef friend, Chef Jeffrey Schlissel. Now as busy as Chef is, he had a block of time not accounted for on his calendar, so he met up with us at the hotel to hangout while we filmed an episode of The Dirty Dash Show at the bar. Only being one old fashioned in, before I knew it, we were setup to record a podcast session… our very first, basically untested, podcast session… We had our host Chef, Johnathan Rodriguez, Chef Jeffrey and a remote call in from Chef Amy Sins out of New Orleans! It was on like the preverbal Donkey-Kong! Willie, my main production guru, did an amazing job! The content is terrific, in spite of a few first timer glitches and dumdum oversights on my part, the  virgin voyage of the podcast was a success! Again, no judging! We’ll have this mapped out and perfected in short order! Main highlight:Hurricane Ian Relief event coming Nov 14th to benefit food industry folks that have been badly affected by Ian. Check out:-Introducing the SupraCut System - the automated solution that enhances safety, quality, and efficiency, cutting up to 120 perfect citrus wedges per minute, 6 times faster than manual.
