Episode Two is hot out of the oven fresh, with award-winning chef and culinary change agent, Chef Mavis Jay Sanders. I so enjoyed meeting Chef Sanders during her James Beard award-winning weekend in 2022 and was immediately drawn to her authentic spirit and infectious passion for being the change she wanted to see in the industry. At that moment I knew I wanted to collaborate and keep the conversation going for the food and the culture.
So pull up your chair and take a listen as we chat crudite style "about all the things" from our weekend in the Chi to the Black farming crisis, and how her Dad is going to make me one of his famous pound cakes - wait did he say that our was I dreaming?? You'll have to take a listen to find that out and more about the deliciously accomplished Chef Mavis Jay Sanders aka GRITS Brooklyn-style! 
Cornbread hugs!

Special thanks to my partners Rockefeller Center Newsstand Studios, Tishman Speyer, and my awe-mazing engineer, Joseph Hazan for being the home and so much more for Cornbread and Conversations.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
