We first spoke to James Beard winning Chef RJ Cooper right before Christmas when he announced that he would be taking a break to focus on rest, and to recharge. We asked if we could speak again afterward, to find out what he was able to do. He did not disappoint. In this episode, we talk about the new challenges he is facing, what innovation he came up with, and he tells the whole story behind winning a James Beard award.  To start the episode, we are on brand with What Chef's Want as they discuss what Chef's are looking for right now, and how they are listening. This episode is also sponsored by Sitex and Supersource.
