This is from 2 years ago.  Guy Fieri and Alex Guarnaschelli cam on the show loaded for bear.  Carl got a beating which made me and Sherrod so so happy.  Rest easy Cuban.

Alex Guarnaschelli says THIS about our podcast conversation:

"It's like a really good taco. Every bite is different."

The Food Network celebrity chef (Chopped, Iron Chef America, Fix Me a Plate) and executive chef (Butter) also called it a "roller coaster ride."

Celebrity interview by Kara Mayer Robinson.

On the latest episode of Inside Julia’s Kitchen, host Todd Schulkin talks to Alex Guarnaschelli, chef, restaurateur, cookbook author and Food Network personality, well known as a judge on the popular series Chopped and as a competitor on Iron Chef America. Todd and Alex discuss her career path, addressing gender equality in the professional kitchen and the art of interviewing. Plus, Alex shares her Julia moment.

Inside Julia's Kitchen is powered by Simplecast.

Though born into a food-centric family (legendary cookbook editor mom; passionate homecook dad), Alex Guarnaschelli never imagined a life in the pro kitchen. But when she decided to give it a go just after graduating college, she never looked back. Known to most listeners as one of the judges on Food Network's Chopped, and as chef of Butter restaurant in New York City, Alex has a depth of kitchen experience that might surprise casual observers--she began her career working for a quartet of legends (Larry Forgione, Daniel Boulud, Guy Savoy, and Joachim Splichal), before becoming a chef in her own right. In this first meeting between herself and Andrew, Alex opens up about herself and her feelings about the profession. Here's a thought: If you like what you hear, please tell your chef-fascinated friends, subscribe to Andrew Talks to Chefs (it's free) on iTunes or Stitcher, follow us on your favorite social media platforms @ChefPodcast, and/or rate or review us on Apple's podcast store. Thanks for listening!

Iron Chef Alex Guarnaschelli and Brian in a wide ranging convo about food, life and living up to impossible expectations.

World-renowned chef Alex Guarnaschelli has run the gamut of culinary endeavors. The daughter of noted cookbook editor Maria Guarnaschelli, Alex grew up around the sights and sounds of food.

She went on to study at the esteemed La Varenne Culinary School in Burgundy before launching into a professional career at the Michelin three-star restaurant Guy Savoy in Paris. She has since won Iron Chef America, judged 34 no-holds-barred seasons of Food Network’s Chopped, written two cookbooks, and currently serves as the executive chef at Butter in New York City.

In a live conversation with IVY, Alex brought her impressive credentials and characteristic wit to the stage — offering candid insights into the high-stakes world of restaurants and fine dining, as well as her own personal wins and losses along the way.

It’s a "dinner and a TV show" kind of night for Nerdette this week. We talk to Jane the Virgin actress Yael Grobglas about what it’s like to play your own twin and creating a villain who people love to hate. Then Iron Chef winner and Chopped judge Alex Guarnaschelli joins us to help dive into Grobglas’ obsession with food.
