THE CHEF, RESTAURATEUR & FOOD HISTORIAN

Worst Things First Podcast

Feb 15 2021 • 1 hr 49 mins

In the season premier of W.T.F.P's third season, a humble horror fiend appears on set, and he just so happens to also be the culinary mind behind South Union Bread Cafe, Centro, Django,Gateway Market, Zombie Burger, and most recently, George's Burger Joint, Batter Up, and perhaps another  one to twenty eateries we'll have to fire our research team for failing to identify in these very summary notes.

The six-time James Beard Award nominee, George Formaro, covers a seven course spread in this dialogue banquet, including his love for studying and preserving lost or forgotten recipes, the anxiety experienced in watching reality cooking competitions, and of course the scariest motion picture he's never actually seen.  A self-conscious  evolution away from the realm of food snobbery finds its way to the conversation plate.

‘PHATE and GEORGE find common footing in the notion of letting go of regrets and seizing the time we have with our current breath to create and perform the tasks we’ve neglected to complete in the past.

PHATAL EXTRACTION: "But you still have time!"
