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.

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
