#054 Shrimps Don't Have Hands! With Special Guest Matt “Beansie” Corella
Manage episode 494979369 series 3588155
Brian and Ronnie welcome a very special guest to Whip Cream Salmon this week: their former coworker and "everything guy," Matt Corella! Matt drops some serious knowledge about his incredible culinary journey, from starting a Michelin-starred restaurant in a (once illegal) garage in his hometown to navigating the vibrant, and sometimes challenging, kitchen scene in Mexico City.
Matt recounts tales of a kitchen raid, adapting to a "cooking class" loophole, and the culture shock of transitioning from backpacking to grueling 15-hour shifts. The conversation also delves into the stark differences in food systems between the US and other countries, with Matt and Brian debating the impact of over-sanitization on flavor and immunity. Plus, a lively discussion about the frustrating reality of gloves in the kitchen and an update on Matt's current (and potentially fleeting) career selling wine corks.
Tune in for an episode packed with behind-the-scenes culinary insights, travel anecdotes, and plenty of laughs!
