On Valentine's Day, we share Chef Tajahi Cooke, the Gatherer, and his wife Danielle, the Handler. Listen in to a celebration of love, music, food, and community—a journey of diversity, acceptance, and connection. They inspire us never to forget our origin stories or ignore how interwoven we are. Out of many, we truly are one...
Chef Taj and Danielle are affiliated with Chef José Andres's World Central Kitchen and many Colorado food and restaurant associations, as well as deeply embedded in their beloved Denver community.
A huge shout out to Zeppelin Station for connecting us to Chef Tajahi (@tajah_i) and Danielle (@rubee_leo) and for supporting all their incredible work with Ms Betty's Cooking (@msbettysgrandson)!
Throughout the interview, the couple generously praised so many who have enriched their journey. We have compiled as many as we could find—music, food, and community groups—and listed their Instagram accounts on our website, or follow us on Instagram @turnburnshow to get links there.
