In this episode of the Scoolinary podcast, we abstain from coffee in solidarity with Sammy Monsour, who is at the tail end of a metabolism reset diet. A chef who’s deeply rooted and intimately connected to authentic Southern food, Sammy lifts the lid on one of the South’s most well-known dishes and explains the story behind his dish of the same name. He also reveals why shooting for a Michelin star comes at a cost to authenticity. He opened his first restaurant in Boston (Massachusetts, U.S.) and it’s there where a certain discerning class of diners paid him the highest compliment just by showing up – try to guess who they were. His skill in the kitchen lifted him to new heights but it’s what he chose to focus his energies on next that’s kept him engaged and dedicated to his craft. You will be inspired.Chef, cookbook author, food activist, and TV personality, Sammy leads without leading. Discover how he does that in this podcast. If you want to know more about us, go to https://www.scoolinary.com/?utm_source=podcast We are waiting for you on our social networks:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/scoolinary_en/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Scoolinary You can get more information about Sammy's online course, Southern Cuisine, at https://www.scoolinary.com/courses/southern-cuisine
