This is a special episode that I wanted to put out because it asks the question, "If you could go back and tell your younger self something would you?" I really enjoyed asking all of my Season 1 co-host this question and hearing their answers. It made me rethink how I approached the question myself. I put this episode together with a Charcuterie Board and you can see the whole process on my TikTok @chefhollywood88.

This episode really just goes over some of the things that I've faced as a Black Man in America. My experiences are my own, but I know some people who have similar and some who have much different experiences than me. I hope to shed some light into why I think the way I do, based on how I view the world in my everyday life. We also go over my all time favorite sandwich, the DEG Sandwich lol which is an egg and duck grilled cheese. This is the season finale so enjoy I hope to see you for round 2 next year.

This episode goes over the ups and downs of being alone for the holidays or going on a vacation by yourself. At first I was really scared to do either, but after doing them I actually like some aspects of both and I am an advocate of taking solo vacations. Learn why I feel this way and also I teach you how to make the easiest and best smoked pork sandwich too.

This episode covers what it's like to work on cruise ships from both me and Warren's perspective. Between the 2 of us we have worked in 3 departments, 2 cruise lines, and held over 6 positions on ships so we have a lot to say. We try to give you the good and the bad of working at sea and share some funny stories along the way. Our dish for today is Jamaican Jerk Fish & Chips, which is a fusion recipe of a UK classic with a Caribbean twist.

We take these classic dishes and change them up enough to make you want them year round, but they won't lose their essence.

This episode covers all things moving, but we take a peak behind the curtain and talk about what really happens when we move. I take a walk down memory lane and let you in on why I'm so good at moving and why I love my minimalistic lifestyle. Our dish today is a Steak Dinner and it is something I've always made after moving into a new home. We elevate the dish, but still serve it rustic style to make sure it reminds us of home.
