Bryce Dangerfield is the owner and executive chef of Curds and Corks, a culinary venture dedicated to creating unforgettable dining experiences. Bryce started working in professional kitchens at just 13 years old and was managing a French restaurant by 16. After years in commercial kitchens, he made a vow to pursue his own path, launching his business 1.5 years ago with a focus on hyperlocal ingredients, storytelling, and intimate dining experiences.

Growing up with a family that sometimes cultivated their own food, Bryce developed a deep appreciation for quality ingredients from an early age. His cooking style is ever-evolving, blending deep influences from Asian and European cuisine with a playful, local approach. A former cheesemonger, he also brings extensive cheese and wine knowledge to the table, curating pairings that elevate each meal.

Bryce always creates an experience that goes beyond the plate to celebrate atmosphere, connection, and culinary storytelling. And for those in the know, Bryce never hosts a dinner without his signature porron, ensuring a night of delicious food, wine, and unforgettable memories.

Raised in the hospitality industry, Kali imbibed the value of leaving a positive, lasting impression from a young age. This passion for creating memorable experiences led her to a dynamic career in event management. With a rich background, including roles with the Miami Dolphins, the Miami Open, Super Bowl LIV, and other major events, she honed her craft in orchestrating exceptional moments.

In the first episode of the second season of Heard Mentality we sit down with Myles Robinson. Myles is the creative mind behind Standish Cocktails, a page birthed from over 20 years' experience creating and working within the bar industry. His focus has always been research, learn, and teach in a way that is fun, exciting, and approachable for every type of audience. Myles also moonlights as a chef creating his own niche called "spirited foods", recipes for home cooks using spirits to enhance the flavors of their food. Being able to highlight those skills on social media by working closely with some of America's favorite brands have proven to be an electric combination of craft cocktails meets culinary style.
