Sara Bradley shares how her upbringing in a Jewish-Southern Appalachian household shaped her love of cooking, from matzo ball soup to savory French toast inspired by childhood breakfasts. She discusses her decision to return home to Paducah, Kentucky to open Freight House, drawn by a desire to contribute meaningfully to her community and be closer to family. The chef reflects on the emotional moment she learned Freight House had been named a James Beard Award semi-finalist and what the recognition means for a rural restaurant. Sara dives into Kentucky bourbon culture, explaining her approach to pairing and cooking with bourbon while celebrating the nuanced flavors. She shares her experience competing on Tournament of Champions for the first time, revealing how her calm, methodical style and strategic preparation helped her hold her own against seasoned veterans. She highlights her mission to create a more sustainable, family-friendly restaurant industry by supporting working parents and offering benefits like paid leave and scheduled time off.
