The food has to be good, but my mindset was I want people to approach Culinary Misfits with a question like, ‘Oh, wow what is this?’” (03:43) (Chef Eric James) “The reason why I don’t even do a lot of food competitions is because I don’t believe it’s about the chef. I really don’t believe it’s about the food. The food makes the journey better, but I believe it’s about us as human beings, as the journey that we take that food can help guide us on that journey. For me, I believe that food can cure the soul.” (07:15) (Chef Eric James) “For me, my favorite style of food is Spanish, because I believe that Spanish flavors are so deep. They’re beautiful flavors. I love Italian, but Spain goes so deep and rich with their flavors.” (10:30) (Chef Eric James) “Here’s what the people eating my food get when they eat my food. They know when it was made, how it was made, who it was made by, and what’s going in it.” (13:37) (Chef Eric James)Resources MentionedJFlowers Health Institute – https://jflowershealth.com/JFlowers Health Institute Contact – (713) 783-6655Subscribe on your favorite player: https://understanding-the-human-condition.captivate.fm/listen Chef Eric James’ LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/chefericjames/ Chef Eric James’ Website – https://www.chefericjames.com/ Chef Eric James’ Email – events@chefericjames.comCulinary Misfits – https://culinarymisfitscp.com/ Culinary Misfits TikTok – https://www.tiktok.com/@culinarymisfits?lang=en Culinary Misfits YouTube Channel – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCq-YDorDe1lhrSKyHdwfF8A Culinary Misfits Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/culinarymisfitscp/ Shay Butts’ LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/shay-butts-8963b217/**The views and opinions expressed by our guests are those of the individual and do not necessarily reflect those of J.
