About this listen
Merry Christmas from the "We Feed Them" kitchen! In our first ever holiday special, Sean and Steve are joined by Seans longtime mentor: Executive Chef Jamie Amador (aka Don Jaime). This isn't your average "silent night" we’re diving deep into 40 years of kitchen grit, from the legendary Bonnie Dune to the "Verbal Fire" of high-volume steakhouses.
In this episode, we cover:
-
The Finger Flap Incident: Jamie recounts a gruesome meat-slicer injury on the final day of a cross-country move to Tucson.
-
Don’t Bite the Cook: The "Red Flag" story of a KFC coworker who took "drumstick" too literally.
-
Lightning in a Bottle: Why "handfuls and pinches" are the enemy of notoriety, and why Jamie preaches keeping a meticulous kitchen journal.
-
Factory Floor Horrors: Steve and Jamie compare notes on food manufacturing, from 55 gallon drums of mayo to the mindless soul sucking of professional donut flipping.
-
The Christmas Prototype: We taste-test Jamie’s latest creation a Beet & Chili Crisp Deviled Egg, and discuss the science of the "endorphin rush."
Whether you’re in your Christmas pajamas or grinding out a double on the line, this episode is a masterclass in staying consistent when the weeds get high.
