*RE-RUN; originally released August 6, 2024.
It's often said that you can taste the love in food, and if that's true, then expect to be served up nothing but deliciousness at the hands of Courtnee Futch-Brinson (@courtneefutch)!
Take formal training as a pastry chef and mixologist, combine it with a Southern upbringing and a rich kitchen background, stir in a career as a Culinary Producer on the precipice of creating room for new stories, and add in a penchant for love and romance that intersects with food, and you've got the recipe for Courtnee's success in her life and career!
This week, Kahja talks with Courtnee about understanding the impact of the kind of food family you come from, why there's so much more to Culinary Producers than meets the eye, the excitement of growing a business dedicated to shining light on emerging talent, the ongoing need for diverse voices in the food industry, and examining the concepts of love, romance, and culinary prowess as mile markers on the road to personal and career growth.
Recorded on location in Atlanta, GA.
