Episode#16 - D’Andre Carter of Soul & Smoke

This week, we're lucky enough to have D'Andre Carter sidle up to the booth. D'Andre is the creative force and culinary talent behind a number of celebrated projects, like Feast & Imbibe and Soul & Smoke: two Chicagoland mainstays that put the chef's attention to detail and panache front and center.  We talk about what characterizes Chicago-style BBQ, how Olive Garden is low-key a masterclass in culinary process and planning, and how D'Andre and his team successfully pivoted to provide hundreds of emergency meals every day during the dawn of Covid.
