Playing With Fire: World-Renowned Chef Chris Hastings

Have you ever eaten at "Hot & Hot" or "Ovenbird"? They are two of the most popular restaurants in Birmingham. 

On this episode of "Exploring The MindSide", world-renowned chef Chris Hastings joins us to talk about his career.

This podcast is fascinating, as Chris talks about his early days in the business, to his time on Iron Chef, and then winning the prestigious James Beard award that goes to the "best chef in the south".

Thank you to Chris for taking the time to sit down with us. We hope you enjoy this podcast as much as we did.
