On the Chefs Without Restaurants podcast this week I have chef April DuBose. She’s currently the culinary director and instructor at Baltimore Outreach Services in Baltimore, Maryland, a nonprofit shelter for women and their children. The culinary arts training program there is eight weeks long, and focuses on basic cooking and kitchen skills, as well as sanitation food safety. It prepares women for the basic skills needed for employment in a kitchen at the prep cook level.
Previously, April was a culinary instructor at Lincoln Culinary where she received the presidents excellence award for instruction, and she was the culinary teacher of the year. She’s also been a forklift driver and bounty hunter.

In our discussion we talk about teaching, internships and staging, comfort food and nostalgia, sharing recipes, and the loneliness of entrepreneurship.

This week I speak with Philadelphia chef Shola Olunyloyo. Shola has carved out a creative niche in modern cooking instruction as a consulting chef. The Studiokitchen was created as a research and idea space to support his manufacturer partner and client projects. He uses contemporary cooking techniques to create increased value and high impact flavor. His Studiokitchen has exposed guests and clients to an entirely unique approach to dining by immersive exploration of various culinary concepts, global ingredients, and useful modern cooking technology.

Shola just finished a month long chef-in-residence program at the Stone Barnes Center in New York with chef Dan Barber. While there, he prepared his native Nigerian cuisine, using the bounty of the Hudson Valley. We talk about this experience, as well as staging, cultural appropriation and classical cooking techniques.

You can listen to the show on Buzzsprout, ITunes, Spotify, TuneIn, Stitcher, Amazon Music, Pandora and I Heart Radio.

Welcome to season two of the Chefs Without Restaurants podcast. I’m your host, Chris Spear. On the show, I have conversations with culinary entrepreneurs, and people in the food and beverage industry who took a different route. They’re caterers, research chefs, personal chefs, cookbook authors, food truckers, farmers, cottage bakers, and all sorts of culinary renegades. I, myself, fall into the personal chef category, as I started my personal chef business Perfect Little Bites 10 years ago. And while I started working in kitchens in the early 90s, I’ve never worked in a restaurant unless you count Burger King.

I’m really excited to share Season Two with you. I’ve taken the past month off to record a bunch of new shows and get them ready for release. The show will be returning next week on Tuesday February 2nd, 2021 with culinary historian Michael Twitty. Michael’s book The Cooking Gene won the James Beard award for Book of the Year in 2018. You’ll also be hearing from Chef Shola of Studio Kitchen. He’s currently working up in New York at the Stone Barns center with Chef Dan Barber, doing a month long residency. I speak with Daniel Gritzer from Serious Eats, Christina Pirello of Christina Cooks, chefs Matt Collins and April DuBose, Laurie Boucher who’s known on Instagram as @Baltimorehomecook, and you’ll hear from Matt the Butcher.

These are just a few of the guests that I’ll have on the show this season. For a taste of our conversations, you can hear some clips from these episodes in just a minute. I’d love it if you’d subscribe to the show. And if you listen on iTunes, a rating and review would be great. Also, I’m launching a Patreon so that listeners can help support the show. And if you have a business and would like to sponsor a few shows, I’d love that. Please reach out to me at ChefsWithoutRestaurants@gmail.com. And thank you so much to all the listeners. I really appreciate your support.
