Description

Food. We all love it. But how much do we know about the people who’ve made it their business? Join food enthusiast and host Kahja Elliott as she talks to some of the industry’s most influential voices, from celebrated chefs and restaurateurs to voices in food media, rising culinary stars, innovative and iconic brands, and food industry thought leaders and discovers the stories of how they’re helping shape culinary culture. As someone who’s always loved the adventure and wanderlust of food, Kahja has also been drawn to the backstories; what makes people choose this as a career, and how do they bring communities and cultures along with them? With the rise of food TV focused on storytelling beyond just recipe or competition shows, The As Told By Podcast highlights the creative and the business sides of the industry, from leading culinarians who are informing what’s on your plate, to CEOs, food justice and entrepreneur-based organizations, and food writers crafting the the paths and stories of how it gets there. We all have a role in the system of food, so join Kahja for a behind the scenes taste of the people helping to make it happen!
