“We’re All Learning Together” with Chef JJ Johnson

This week on the pod I am joined by JJ
Johnson. JJ is a dad to twins, the
Chef/Foudner of FIELDTRIP, the co-author of
Between Harlem and Heaven, and host of the cooking show
- Just Eats with Chef JJ.


JJ and I talked a lot about the intersection of food
and culture on the pod this week. We dove into how he shares
culture through cooking, why he feels it is so important to do
so, and I asked him if he feels a sense of responsibility to
share culture through his cooking and how he hopes to share all
of this with his kids. 


We also talked about some of the cultural struggles of being a
black father raising black kids, how he and his restaurant worked
to support their community during the Covid-19 pandemic, and we
had some laughs over him cutting his teeth as a parent with
twins! 


A big thanks to JJ for getting into some heavy
stuff with me during this conversation.
