Three notable Colorado Springs chefs give the lay of today’s landscape, pitfalls and all, from mental health matters to celebrity burnout. Building off the look back in episode two and the look ahead in episode three, we return to present-day realities with guest chefs Brother Luck (Four, Lucky Dumpling, Top Chef Season 15-16, Beat Bobby Flay, Chopped), Eric Brenner (Red Gravy, Meals to Heal) and Noah Siebenaller (Cheyenne Mountain Resort). Topics include post-pandemic woes, the double-edged chef’s knife that is third-party delivery services, military veterans in the kitchen, mental health across the industry and the importance of mentorship and leadership. We continue the refrain of examining the state of our local scene today and seeking improvements.
