Culinary School Stories is a weekly podcast with engaging interviews that share the stories of people from around the world that have an association with a culinary school in some way. Each episode we bring you the best stories from people around the food service world whose lives have been influenced, impacted, touched, and/or enriched, for good or for bad, from their culinary school experience! And this podcast is dedicated to telling their story!

From current students and alumni, to faculty and administrators, this interview style podcast allows for longer, more-in-depth, open discussions about issues, stories and tales surrounding culinary school. We hope you will listen in and learn what each of our guests has to say as we talk to them about their relationship to culinary school, as well as their journey, the people who helped them, and their goals and dreams for the future. Please join us as we ask and discover, “What’s your culinary school story?”

  1. Good afternoon Chef Roche,
    I have submitted an application for your podcast.
    Although I have no experience with this sort of thing, either listening to or participating in one, I feel that this can offer a way of dealing with feelings and opinions about what we’re going through.

  2. Hey chef!

    I would love to be on your podcast. I have been active
    In the culinary community for years and I currently am living in NYC as a Sous Chef for the Brooklyn Nets. I feel like I have a lot to talk about, and good stories from my travels. Let me know!
