Dan Levy, the star of Schitt’s Creek, loves chefs and wanted to do something to support the culinary community during the pandemic. His idea was a kinder, gentler cooking competition centered around the meal that he loves, but that most restaurant folks loathe—brunch. The result debuts Thursday, Nov. 10th, on HBO Max and it’s called The Big Brunch. The show features 10 chef-contestants, all trying to do good in the world while making delicious food, and three judges, Dan, chef and video personality Sohla El-Waylly, and hospitality pro Will Guidara. Dan joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about how The Big Brunch came to be, casting the judges and chefs, and why brunch is his favorite meal. In the second half, Sohla stops by to talk about her role on the show, her journey to becoming a chef, and her time owning and running a restaurant. She also discusses the new book she guest-edited, the 2022 edition of The Best American Food Writing series. Thank you to Hedley & Bennett for supporting today’s episode.

It took a little while before award-winning writer Osayi Endolyn answered her calling, but the food world is fortunate she did, as she’s put a number of thoughtful projects into the world. In addition to articles and essays for the likes of Time, Food52, and Oxford American, Osayi has co-authored two special books: The Rise: Black Cooks and the Soul of American Food with Marcus Samuelsson, and Black Power Kitchen with the Bronx-based collective Ghetto Gastro. The latter was just published by Artisan and it’s a tour de force of art, cuisine, culture, and creativity. Osayi joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about the process behind the books and how to bring participants’ voices forward in literary collaborations. She also shares early food memories and the path that got her where she is today. Don’t miss Part 1 of today’s show with the co-founder of Ghetto Gastro, Jon Gray, out now.

Jon Gray is the co-founder of Ghetto Gastro, a 10-year-old culinary-and-arts collective from the Bronx that has the goal of nourishing the world while celebrating Black food and culture. Their debut book, Black Power Kitchen, is one of the most anticipated cookbooks of the fall, but it is way more than a collection of recipes, as Jon explains. He also shares some stories from his own life, the inspiration his mother has provided over the years, and how the culinary world drew him in. In the second half of the show, Jon talks about Ghetto Gastro’s expansion into the packaged food business with their Wavy Waffle Mix, Sovereign Syrups, and kitchen appliances with the line called CRUXGG that’s found everywhere from Target to Williams Sonoma. Don’t miss Part 2 of today’s show with Jon’s co-author, the award-winning writer Osayi Endolyn.
