Season 8, Episode 3: Roundtable with Chefs from the community
Thu Feb 05 2026
On today's podcast, Kip sits down with 4 High Caliber Chefs from the Colorado community to talk about the state of the industry & community. With the federal government attacking citizens across the country, it's hit home in more ways than one for Johnny Curiel, Michael DeLeon, Raz Casiano & Manny Borella.
We talk about the social media post that called out their "lack of advocacy" for taking a different path than other hospitality professionals & businesses across the country.
They're walking the walk way more than they're talking the talk. They're hosting a very large fundraiser in March and you can hear about the details on this here podcast.
No animosity, just clearing the air about the post that pissed off a lot of people & business owners in the Colorado community.
Our apologies about the random change in audio, we were hosting the round table with a Boom mic + 4 circling mic's as well.. but you can hear it all, just may have to toggle the audio here n there.
