My 1st guest this week is Winemaker Extraordinaire Joel Gott. The family history in California Wine Country is deep, and Joel continues the epic journey in all aspects of producing premium wine that’s affordable and award winning. And…he is also involved in the gourmet fast food biz with Gott’s Roadside, the original location is the famous Taylor’s Refresher roadside hamburger stand in Napa.
Then Chris Tucker, baker extraordinaire joins us! We’ll be talking about baking and family kitchen fun during COVID as well as Chris’ Los Angeles baking exploits and how you can get his “At home Baking Kits.” www.bettawithbutta.com
TheA Southern baker at heart, with a French twist, and a true believer that a little bit of butter makes everything better, Chris grew up baking with his grandmother. Some of his fondest memories growing up were spending time in the kitchen with her, creating, and of course, tasting delicious recipes. Baking had a beautiful way of spreading joy around the table during the holidays, and when she passed away while he was younger, his family looked to him to continue the tradition. Always a hobby growing up and into adulthood, Chris worked as a hair stylist for nearly a decade before he reclaimed his passion and love for baking, and soon found himself starring on ABC’s most popular cooking show “The Great American Baking Show.”
Carefully crafted with thought and passion, Chris’s menu of perfectly balanced buttercreams slathered atop delicate sponge, crisp biscuits with creamy curd and countless flaky pastries change with the seasons while a few staples having year-round availability. He uses the best quality ingredients, including pantry staples such as Callebaut chocolate, farmers market produce and only the freshest dairy available. He spends much of his time creating and testing recipes for his clients.
When Chris isn’t testing, tasting and tweaking his recipes, he can be found inspiring other bakers with his curated online content through his digital platforms and on-camera appearances. In addition to ABC’s “The Great American Baking Show” he has appeared on Inside Edition, California Live, ABC’s “On The Red Carpet,” and was recently featured in Cosmopolitan Magazine for Pride Month.
As CEO of Betta With Butta, Chris believes he can “bake the world a betta place, one bite at a time.” With charity at his core, Chris is constantly looking for ways to partner with local and national organizations to bring a smile and funds to people, communities and causes in need.
