In this episode of Allison’s Corner, Allison is pulling up a chair at the table with a special guest: Blair Crosby, a culinary creative whose work is reshaping the way we think about food, culture, and community. Together, they’re diving into something both nourishing and nuanced: the way food tells our stories, carries our histories, and reflects our values. Beyond what’s on the plate, food is memory, resistance, joy, and sometimes even survival. This episode is part storytelling, part culture talk, and part reminder that what—and how—we eat is never just about appetite. We’re unpacking:
- How food connects us to our roots, families, and traditions
- The challenges and joys of navigating the modern food industry
- Why the food scene isn’t just about trendiness, but about equity, access, and representation
- What it means to create food experiences that are communal, soulful, and sustainable
If you’ve ever wondered how food shapes identity, questioned the politics of what ends up on your table, or are curious about the future of dining and storytelling through food—this episode is for you. So grab a plate, pour yourself a drink, and join us for this flavorful conversation.
