Katie Lee Biegel is all about perseverance and positivity. Whether she’s talking about her infertility struggles or her “Top Chef” firing, she manages to see lessons and silver linings in everything (Katie was the host of “Top Chef” Season One, but was let go the day after the finale by Andy Cohen, a Bravo executive back then). She has more than bounced back, as she’s co-hosted “The Kitchen” on Food Network for more than a decade and saw her novel, “Groundswell,” turned into a Hallmark movie. Katie joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about her life, her career, her organic wine line, Kind of Wild, and lots more. Tune in to learn why Katie is widely considered one of the nicest folks in the food world. Thank you to Kerrygold, Nonino, and OpenTable for supporting our show. Visit Cherry Bombe’s Event Calender for more information on our upcoming Summer Series & Jubilee Wine CountryHosted by Kerry DiamondProduced by Catherine Baker and Elizabeth VogtEdited by Jenna SadhuContent Operations Manager Londyn CrenshawRecorded at Newsstand Studios at Rockefeller CenterRadio Cherry Bombe is a production of The Cherry Bombe Podcast Network.

Today’s guest is Chef Karla Hoyos, a long-time volunteer for World Central Kitchen and the founder of Tacotomia in Miami. The interview took place several weeks before the tragedy in Gaza in which seven of Karla’s World Central Kitchen colleagues were killed (if you’d like to contribute to the World Central Kitchen GoFundMe for the families of those killed, visit here).Karla herself was in the region last year with the organization. Over the past several years, she has worked as part of World Central Kitchen’s disaster response teams in Bangladesh, Poland, Puerto Rico, Haiti, Spain, and beyond. At the same time, Karla was working to fulfill her dream of opening a spot in Miami that would pay homage to her Mexican upbringing. Last year, she opened Tacotomia in the Julia & Henry’s food hall and has used the opportunity to hire women and immigrants in need of work. Experience is great, she says, but not entirely necessary. Karla has three questions she asks her job candidates: “Are you a good person? Do you want to learn? Can I trust you?”Stay tuned to learn about Karla’s roots in Mexico, how she became involved with World Central Kitchen, and what Tacotomia is all about.Hosted by Kerry DiamondProduced by Catherine Baker and Elizabeth VogtEdited by Jenna SadhuContent Operations Manager Londyn CrenshawRadio Cherry Bombe is a production of The Cherry Bombe Podcast Network.
