Off Script With Trish Glose

Airis the Chef takes the spotlight in this light-hearted, real and honest conversation. She grew up in New Orleans with a grandma who cooked most of the meals and a mom who she credits for exposing her to not only food, but life experiences. It was in college that Airis - not being a huge fan of the cafeteria food - decided she wanted to do some cooking of her own, her dishes getting rave reviews from friends. Her path led her to New York City where she enrolled in nighttime culinary school. After getting fired from her first job, an opportunity at Whole Foods really set her on her path of working in kitchens. It wasn't all pretty, as she explains, and says she learned quickly it would have to be up to her if she wanted to grow in this industry. She went from line cook to executive chef almost overnight and she says all of the stepping stones, and all of the jobs has really set her up for where she is today.

It seems there's not a lot Jen Quist can't do. She sold real estate in San Francisco, went to culinary school in New York, opened a restaurant, closed that restaurant (a devastating yet critical moment in her life), consulted on other establishments, and then launched "Holler Hospitality". And that's just a few. She talks to Trish about growing up in the Bay area and how a growing interest in the culinary industry is what sent her to NYC for cooking school. After working on the East Coast for a few years, the Pacific Northwest was calling her home. Jen talks about the reality of the restaurant world, how it's not as dreamy as some would like it to be, and why creating a hospitality group was the perfect fit. The story behind the origin of the business' name, "Holler" could very well be a podcast on its own. *Note : about 20 minutes into this interview, after a quick check to make sure we were still recording, an audio glitch occurred, creating an echo in the audio. My sincerest apologies. Thank yo

Award winning mixologist, bartender, educator (and curator of BAR MAGIC!), Meaghan Dorman talks to Trish about how a job she liked and was good at eventually turned into her career and ultimately her passion. Meaghan talks about creating bar programs in New York City, how she and other females in the industry really celebrated each other, and the Dames Hall of Fame - women who have made unique and lasting contributions in the hospitality industry. She also tells the story of Grandma Dee - the eternal hostess - and how she influenced a lot of Meaghan's career choices.

Trish rounds out the year with a fun and interesting interview with David Page - former Executive Producer and creator of hit TV show "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives." As a former network news producer, the two talk about the news industry - the good, the bad, and the ugly and what sparked his desire to start a new book. "Food Americana" was published in May, a culmination of his growing interest in food and its history. The book he's working on now isn't necessarily a sequel, but it was the topics he didn't get to cover which led to book number 2. The two also get into food traditions for New Year's Eve and New Year's Day and their favorite things to prepare.

A blast from the past as these two Aiken, South Carolina kids catch up in a big way. Trish met Suzanne Cupps in middle school and the two became fast friends. After college, Suzanne struggled a bit to figure out the "what's next" and ended up moving to New York City where she eventually enrolled in cooking school, although she'll tell you (and her family and friends, too) she never really cared for cooking or food much, but it was an idea she just couldn't shake. She talks about her restaurant adventures since then, why she loves vegetables so much, and her next steps in the restaurant industry.

Cheers! Super funny Sam Block on the podcast, chatting with Trish about growing up with a bunch of boys, getting into cooking, working on a cruise line, and why she started a TikTok channel. The two share a cocktail for the interview, share their dreams for the world (not really), and talk about food. And writing a cookbook. And being single.

Recipe developer, cookbook author, chef, and all around cool chick Julie Tanous chats with Trish about all things food. Julie talks about her recent cookbook she wrote with friend, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and the success it's seen in the last few months. Then, it was on to Thanksgiving Day talk. Julie is digging into her cookbook for the dishes she'll be putting on the table that day, and the two share stories that stem from their Southern roots. It's an episode all about friends, food, and family.

Trish chats with Todd Schulkin - the Executive Director of The Julia Child Foundation about his journey to the role and so much more! He talked about his New Yorker parents, his (and their) connection to food, his time as a talent agent, and the first time he met Julia Child. Todd hosts the foundation's podcast, "Inside Julia's Kitchen," and asks every guest about their "Julia moment." Todd shares his own Julia moment and the two explore the impact the foundation has had since it was started in 1995. Todd says it was Julia's idea to keep her legacy alive and continuing educating and encouraging people to live well through the joys of cooking. You can subscribe to "Inside Julia's Kitchen" on your favorite podcast platform, Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, or Spotify.

Trish launches the first episode of "Hungry for More," with chef and cooking show host, Sara Moulton. The two talk about the first time they chatted (Episode 121) and Sara's role in this brand new podcast. Sara just wrapped up the 10th season of "Sara's Weeknight Meals." She talks about the challenges she and the crew faced in the last few months getting the show produced, shot and ready for TV. She shares a sweet story about her mentor and friend, Julia Child and her annual, non-traditional Thanksgiving Day plans. And of course, tells us what's for dinner.

Trish chats it up with the owner and Executive Chef of Mother's Bistro Bar in Portland, Oregon. Born and raised in Philadelphia, Lisa Schroeder talks about growing up in a Jewish family and that cooking is simply in her blood. Before she was born, her mother owned a small, but wildly successful restaurant and Lisa would tend to adopt neighborhood Jewish families for Friday Sabbath dinners. She moved to Israel at a young age, got married and pregnant and moved back to the states before her husband could get drafted for the Israeli army. After several years of being in an abusive marriage, she got out and started creating a life for herself. Lisa kept coming back to cooking, doing catering on the side, and said it all started to take shape when she went to culinary school. "Mother's" was an idea 8-years in the making and her story is one of resiliency, courage, strength and focusing on the lessons learned when life deals you blow after blow. As she stated over and over, her restaurant and everything she

Trish chats it up Kerry Diamond, founder of Cherry Bombe, a media company that celebrates women in and around the world of food. She's also the host of Radio Cherry Bombe, the #1 podcast about women and food in the U.S. Fascinating conversations about how Kerry got her start in journalism (she tells stories about walking around neighborhoods, knocking on doors for interviews pre-internet), her job at Women's Wear Daily, the jump to an amazing opportunity at Lancôme and how and why she wanted to start Cherry Bombe. The company evolved from a magazine, to cookbooks, to a podcast and now creates an environment for ideas and networking for women and all things food.

Trish interviews former news producer and author David Page about his life in news and creating the hit show, "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives," on the Food Network. He recently wrote the book, "Food Americana," which is all about the cuisine of America and how it came about. David tells stories from his former news days, the moment he got burned out, and what he decided to do next. After many show ideas to the Food Network that were turned down, the idea of doing a show on diners really hit home with the network's producers, and "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" was born. David also talks about his love of cooking, the best way to prepare lobster, the perfect roast chicken, and how he makes the best Jewish Italian red sauce in New Jersey.

Trish talks to author Kirsten Shockey, who has written several books including "Homebrewed Vinegar," and "Big Book of Cider Making." She talks about brewing vinegar and how easy it is to do it in your own home. She says it all started with the old apple trees on her property and how she wanted to preserve them. She breaks down the many different ways you can make vinegar, how her kids tell her she has a condiment problem, and when Vogue reached out to her for an article.

Trish chats with recipe developer and cookbook author Julie Tanous about her cookbook, "Food Between Friends," she wrote with actor and fellow food lover, Jesse Tyler Ferguson. She talks about growing up in the south, going to culinary school, and moving to Los Angeles with her husband. Tanous says she was pregnant in the city, didn't know anyone, but says one night of going to a dinner party that she didn't want to go to changed everything. That's where she met Ferguson, who also was reluctant to go and the two hit it off immediately. They started working together in the kitchen, cooking together, posting their food online and that's how their cookbook was born. Tanous talks about developing recipes, how easy it is to be in the kitchen with a good friend, and why she's so excited about the new cookbook.

Trish chats with the brilliant David Becker, founder of the Center for Election Innovation and Research. Becker, an election law expert talks a lot about the most recent election season, and his surprise at how long it went on for. He was a frequent flier on CBS News during and after the 2020 presidential election. He calls it one of the most secure elections and that it worked better than any other election. He says what's frustrating, is the continued lack of distrust in the results and the threats that still exist to poll workers. Becker talks about his path in creating CEIR and the innovative "ERIC," or Electronic Registration Information Center which many states use today to correct millions of out-of-date voter records and registering new voters.

Trish talks to Ellen Bennett, the founder of Hedley & Bennett, a company she started that makes aprons and kitchen gear. Bennett recently wrote and released the book, "Dream First, Details Later : How to quit overthinking and make it happen." She talks about growing up half English, half Mexican, with a single, hard-working mama and how the desire to help her mom lead her straight to the kitchen. Bennett moved to Mexico when she was 18 to go to culinary school and that's where she had dozens of eclectic jobs. When she moved back to Los Angeles to pursue dreams of chefing, a sudden request from her boss for aprons started everything. Bennett talks about that moment in the kitchen, what happened next, and how she thinks simply showing up every day for life makes a huge difference.

Trish talks to food stylist Christine Tobin about her work at Christopher Kimball's Milk Street, and the several movies she's worked on. Tobin talks about growing up in Holliston, Massachusetts and her nana, from Sicily living with the family. She says from the beginning, she was surrounded by excellent cooks and beautiful food. Her parents and the other parents who lived on the street she grew up on started a "gourmet club," where they would get together once a month and cook a feast based on a different country. When she found out that food styling was actually a "thing," she began going down that path. Now, she styles food for Milk Street, and has worked on several movies including, "Little Women," "Joy," "American Hustle," and "Labor Day," just to name a few. She also just wrapped a movie (she can't talk about it yet!) and the "Julia" series on HBO Max, which does not have a release date set. Tobin talks about being a different kind of stylist, and offers some tricks for the home cook to make their

She tells stories about being on the road for her travel show, when she discovered a tequila latte while in Mexico and why truffle potato chips would be part of her final meal.
