    How did this chance come about for you? 

    Edgar “Dook” Chase: Somebody reached out via electronic mail at first and arrange a Zoom name for me to get on with the crew and Octavia. Proper after we get on that Zoom name, we begin sharing meals tales. We begin connecting and having these meals reminiscences and rising up in every of our personal particular person households. You begin to study our similarities, despite the fact that I’m a chef and Octavia is a star or actor. These meals reminiscences being within the kitchen with household was so connecting and introduced us collectively as a result of that’s what meals does. Little did I do know that was a quasi-interview to see how we’d join and if I’d cross the check. 

    With that, when it comes to them reaching out, telling me about what this present was about and what they have been aiming to do. Bringing households collectively, celebrating cultures, custom and people recipes and what meals does. That was fascinating to me as a result of that was my household’s story. That’s all we rejoice. We rejoice our tradition, however extra importantly, we love individuals to come back in and reset the desk.

Right here we’re. 

    What was it like attending to know Octavia on this setting? 

    It was an incredible time for me. Octavia is a superb individual with an incredible character. You see these stars on TV and marvel what kind of individual they’re. She is simply down-to-earth filled with enjoyable, filled with vitality. She saved us occurring the present. When you’re sharing these tales and childhoods and meals and connectivity, you begin to see the similarities whether or not you’re an A-list superstar or only a chef approaching and internet hosting. There are these meals reminiscences. Everybody has these rising up, so it’s essential to maintain these traditions alive. Attending to know her backstage and having the possibility to fulfill lots of her superstar associates and simply talk about meals and reminiscences and actually have a bunch of enjoyable backstage. There have been instances they might get away into songs and reminiscences. That complete set was a complete lot of enjoyable. We had a extremely nice time.

    Inform me about among the duos we’re going to fulfill and tales we’re going to listen to. 

    You had mom and daughter, household associates, siblings, fraternity brothers. One in every of them that was fascinating is you had a mom and a son-in-law. I assumed, “Wow, you’re cooking a household recipe in 60 minutes with stress, and you bought stars in entrance of you making you nervous. Then you will have a son-in-law along with his mother-in-law. You higher get this proper man otherwise you’ll have some issues.” It was such a pleasure to see these dynamics play out. Not solely are they telling their story and sharing it with us, however they’re doing it inside a timeframe. That provides stress. That may add nerves and the entire above. Simply seeing them work collectively. I hope individuals get that from the present as a result of it was fabulous being there. 

    What was the factors in your eyes to choose the winners? That will need to have been a tough choice. 

    Selecting a winner, to be sincere, was the hardest job I had all season. For me, everyone got here celebrating tradition and custom and household recipes. I used to be proud to see these proceed. Then you definitely begin to dive into method, flavors. You must put your chef hat on as a result of there needs to be a winner. Not everybody can depart a winner as a lot as you need them to. We appeared on the dynamics of did you placed on the plate what you stated you have been going to do, did you meet the necessities, what method was concerned, does it inform a narrative,. We have been taking a look at all kinds of issues sitting at our perch desk, what we name the decide’s desk. We actually noticed total and after we get to that tasting, it speaks for itself. How does the colour look? How is the style? How does the feel really feel while you chunk into it? I hope this present goes on for a lot of seasons as a result of I feel everybody who comes on it with the hosts, judges and contributors enjoys it. 

    It is a fairly star-studded lineup when it comes to visitor judges. Who have been you excited to see? 

    Al Roker is a foodie. He has a cookbook along with his daughter. You speak about Tina Knowles, who grew up cooking for her household. Actually discussing backstage what you wouldn’t do or would do whilst you have been cooking. One of many nice issues for me was not solely attending to share time with Reese Witherspoon, however her mom was backstage. I realized about their connection to New Orleans. We have been sharing a few of these tales rising up. Her mom talked about being in New Orleans and dealing at a time when Reese was at a younger age and sharing these reminiscences. Everyone who got here on that present had a meals reminiscence. You’ve gotten a meals reminiscence. That’s what we have been capable of get after we have been speaking with these celebrities.

You may’t consider one other metropolis that has so many alternative cultural influences. Whether or not you’re speaking concerning the Native Individuals, French, West Africa, Italian, Spanish, you possibly can go on and on.

We rejoice everybody’s tradition right here and everybody’s custom as a result of we all know how essential it’s. Every recipe handed down tells a narrative and household historical past. It’s not the flavors you’re tasting. That got here from someplace. I feel being in New Orleans and showcasing that’s only a spotlight. That’s who we’re as a metropolis. 

    Did you get to cook dinner in any respect for Octavia? 

    Sure. The primary dish I realized find out how to cook dinner in my grandmother’s kitchen was stewed rooster. I don’t know if it’s on the present or not, however I’ll present Octavia find out how to make stewed rooster. We had some enjoyable cooking again there. It was fairly cool.
