This week we're joined by JT (Jason Timothy) for a conversation about love for food, the importance of the dinner table, and cultivating creativity in the kitchen. JT is co-owner and head chef at Troop - an elevated street casual restaurant that has its roots in street food from around the world.
Topics include food as a shared experience, the old and new school kitchen environment, learning through failure, and empowering your staff to take risks.
