Forklore

Every day starts with a glass of Champagne in Todd Richards’ world. Meet this Beard-nominated chef in his home kitchen for some bubbly while he makes his mom’s recipe for bone-in fried catfish and homemade hot sauce with ghost peppers. As soon as the fish drops into the fryer, you’ll get into a lively, deep convo about his debut cookbook, Soul. Hear his take on what soul food is, how it evolves, and how Todd uses food to challenge how black Americans are perceived. The recipes for Todd’s Mom’s Fried Catfish and hot sauce are available at ForklorePodcast.com.
