    S3 Ep1: More Than A Meal - A Conversation with Chef Chris Infinger
    Aug 26 2025
    Join us in this exciting interview as VIE Book Club host / VIE magazine editor, Jordan Staggs, chats with Chef Chris Infinger of Panama City, Florida.

    Chris, although his résumé might say chef, is a storyteller at heart. He weaves stories about food and tells tales through food. Growing up, Chris always knew he wanted to serve and take care of people. Cooking was an early passion of his, and he soon realized the hospitality industry offered numerous opportunities for creativity and fulfillment by taking care of others and crafting a narrative with each meal. He now hosts "Doing Dinner with Chef Chris" on National Public Radio. Each week, he plans a dinner party live on the air and then executes it later. If that wasn’t enough to fill his plate, Chris is a professor at Gulf Coast State College in the Culinary department. He aims to make an impact and improve his area through his students. Chris is also a big advocate for supporting your local farmers and fishermen, and even gives us the lowdown on which fruits and vegetables we should be eating each season! Bon appétit!

With plans to be the premier documentary film fest in the Southeast, Redfish Film Fest celebrates the documentary art form while throwing fantastic events and parties for attendees. The inaugural weekend festival featured over ninety films in venues around Panama City, Florida, and next year promises even more! We loved hearing Kevin discuss his team's ideas and upcoming plans for Redfish Film Fest, so make sure to tune in for their next event coming April 24–27, 2025. Plus, learn more about Redfish Foundation, a new nonprofit that aims to bring world-class art and performances to Panama City, whose downtown area is bustling with creatives and business owners on a mission to revitalize their town for residents and visitors.

    S2 Ep10: The Gift of Gab: A Chat with Spirited Storytellers
    Aug 20 2024
    In this spirited interview, VIE Book Club host/VIE magazine editor Jordan Staggs chats with Madison Shirley, a gifted storyteller and the vice president of Chef Jim Shirley Enterprises, which owns and operates many restaurants along the Northwest Florida Gulf Coast. As friends and fellow creatives, Madison and Jordan talk about the art of storytelling from a macro level as it relates to everything from Shakespeare to Star Wars, books to brand-building. Everyone has a story to tell, and we loved hearing Madison's and talking about all the stories being told through the food and atmosphere at her family's restaurants. Be sure to check them out whether you are a local or a visitor to the South Walton area!
