This week we have chef Corey Siegel. You'll hear how Corey went from finishing dead last in his culinary SkillsUSA competition, to representing team USA with master chef Rich Rosendale (https://www.podpage.com/chefs-without-restaurants/certified-master-chef-rich-rosendale-discusses-ghost-kitchens-culinary-school-cooking-competitions-and-diversifying-your-business-portfolio/) at the Bocuse d'Or (https://www.bocusedor.com/en) . This episode is a behind the scenes look (or is it listen?) into the world of cooking competitions at the highest level.
But you also might know Corey from his TikTok and Instagram videos where he cooks a recipe after the ingredients and equipment magically seem to fall from the sky. We talk about balancing his content creation with his job as Director of Culinary Development at Electrolux Professional.
