There’s a lot to celebrate on this week’s Food, Farms, & Chefs Radio Show, as we spoke with Tamas Szene who is the Director of Operations for Fearless Restaurants.  Szene joined us to celebrate White Dog Cafe’s 40th Anniversary, and this iconic restaurant that helped bring the farm-to-table movement to the culinary industry.  Fearless Restaurants has even more to celebrate, as they announce their newest location on our show!  So stay tuned to learn more about this trend-setting establishment, and where they are opening next!
To continue with our celebrations, we asked Melissa Fernando to join our family of foodies.  Melissa is no stranger to bringing flavor to every dish, as she grew up learning the piquant flavors behind a variety of cuisines.  Born in Sri Lanka, and growing up in Chennai, India Melissa eventually moved to Philadelphia, PA.  This dynamic self-taught chef made a name for herself when she established Sri’s Company and began offering delicious food at pop-ups {markets} around Philly.  She quickly learned that the City of Brotherly Love, loved her back; as word of mouth spread, so did the popularity of her cuisine.  So stay tuned to find out just how many flavors we can celebrate with her now, and hopefully in the future too!
Lastly, we’re bringing back the enigmatic, energetic, and always knows how to entice our taste buds–Chef Joe Poon. He joined us in-studio to help celebrate Chinese New Year, and brought a feast along with him.  We celebrated the New Year by delving into a dozen types of dumplings, hand-made candy (inside the studio), and other good luck treats.  Joseph certainly knows how to celebrate in-style, and does so with a zeal while offering an insightful look at the traditions and symbolism of all the dishes presented to us.
We highly enjoyed our guests this week, and you will too.  So stay tuned until the end as we travel across the globe without leaving our seats!
