Eating Alabama Podcast

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to sit down with Nick from Eating Alabama and share my story on their Podcast. Nick and his wife Jenny host the Eating Alabama Podcast, write a food blog, and you can also find them on Instagram & Facebook. They do a phenomenal job traveling around the state of Alabama to document the amazing food in the South. We discussed a host of topics around my story and food. Some of the things we talked about are:

• Restaurant Memories From My Childhood
  • Some of my favorite places to eat while growing up in Bessemer were The Bright Star, Bevills , Burt’s on the Bluff, and Bob Sikes BBQ.
• How I Got Started Cooking While At College
  • My plan was always to coach college football.
  • Went to college and started cooking.
  • If you can read and have common sense you can cook!
• How Mealfit Got Started
  • Got involved with Crossfit
  • Started selling meal plans that I would email out weekly.
  • Went part time at my job at a church & MealFit turned into my full time gig!
• Why We Do What We Do
  • We want to make your life easier!
• The difference between MealFit & Table & Thyme
  • MealFit caters business lunches. Affordable and easy catering for daily meetings, gatherings, etc.
  • Table & Thyme is fully customized, high end catering for special events.
• Special Packages we offer – 4th of July & Thanksgiving
• Moving the business from Cookeville, TN to Birmingham, AL
  • We talk about the differences in how Food Service is handled in Birmingham.
  • Food businesses need 3 legs of income – when I came to Birmingham I only had one!
• Fun questions
  • Favorite vacation memories
    • Listen to the end for a funny vacation story!
  • My favorite music, movies, and who I would have dinner with if I could choose anyone past or present. You may be surprised at my choices!
