    The Patreon Mini-Sode and Funding Our Organization Feb 15, 2020
    Show notes

    This is what we’re calling The Patreon Mini-sode. We hope everyone loves what we’re doing with both the Chefs Without Restaurants podcast, and organization. We want to keep the organization free for as long as possible, to continue helping food entrepreneurs build and grow their businesses. Obviously, we are incurring some costs, so if you appreciate us, and what we’re doing, we’d love your support. We’ll be launching a Patreon soon, where you’ll be able to back this endeavor of ours. It’s not ready yet, but can eventually be found here. In fact, we’d love to hear what you’d like to see as some sponsorship rewards.

    Please listen to this brief 15-minute episode to learn more. Thanks so much for your support.

    -Chris & Andrew

    Chef Jeremy Umansky on Koji and Miso Jan 15, 2020
    Show notes

    This week we have a special throwback mini-episode. In 2018 I had the opportunity to attend the StarChefs Congress in NYC. One of the workshops was on koji and miso with Jeremy Umansky of Larder in Cleveland, Ohio. I was supposed to be writing a wrap-up editorial for StarChefs, which I did, but it was never used. Instead of taking notes, I had recorded the audio to refer back to. Now, I want to share it with you. I have reached out to Jeremy, and he’s on board.

    Jeremy will be releasing his first book, Koji Alchemy, on May 6, 2020 with co-author Rich Shih of OurCookQuest.
