Damaris Phillips: The Alton Browncast 8

If you listened to my previous podcast, you witnessed my interview with the final three contestants of Season 9 of Food Network Star: Rodney Henry, Damaris Phillips and Russell Jackson.

Now, we’re back again, but only one remains victorious, and that is Damaris Phillips. She shares her success story, from south to north to south again, from brewing coffee to baking to culinary school, and now, winning Food Network Star. She brings us back to her Southern roots, talking about her belief in traditional home-style family dinners, in hopes that she can bring back this idea and get people wanting to cook again.

Plus, she has some out-of-this-world food preferences, like pickled kale stems, beet juice cocktails and more.

And Then There Were Three: The Alton Browncast 7

In this episode, I sit down with the Season 9 finalists of Food Network Star and it gets a little sweaty (well, Rodney does). Finalists include Rodney Henry, pie enthusiast, Damaris Phillips, modern-Southern food chef, and Russell Jackson, culinary sin artist.

As I get to have my first real conversation with the contestants, they share their new found fame stories, their most valuable dish stories, and even some conspiracy theories. On a deeper note, they tell me about how the show has changed them, as well as their food and cooking.

And, if you’re wondering what life is like after Food Network Star, it seems to involve being comped free things at your local pharmacy, a lot of being stopped at airports, and even moving into thrift store dressing rooms? Don’t ask me.
