“We’re All Learning Together” with Chef JJ Johnson
Manage episode 320348162 series 2804895
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.
