In this episode of BRK THT BRD, Jeremy and Seth welcome a special guest, Shawanna Davis, who they greatly admire for her artistic talent and cultural influence. We discuss our long-standing friendship and how our initial meeting on a web series set the foundation for our bond. We get into Shawanna's journey in fashion, how she transitioned from modeling to designing, and her unique style. Jeremy whips up Juana Mama's Chili Cups for Shawanna's Struggle Meal Elevated today.

Seth Brundle takes of the apron to let us know how he went from fashion to chef-ing. We go through his pop-up dinners, the best asian in LA, who does fried chicken better, and the dream of retiring. To celebrate our collective love for asian & comfort food, Chef Jeremy McBryde makes a Gumbo Fried Rice for Seth's Struggle Meal. "Who TF is that in my kitchen?" Seth "the Fly" Brundle. Drop in!

Adam Weisblatt (Restauranteur and Co-Founder of Last Word Hospitality) joins the BRK THT BRD crew to share what inspires him, and why he loves food and the restaurant business. We chop it up about growing up a Mass-hole, moving to the SVG, trying to stay out of trouble, the dirt on running restaurants, and staying ahead of the game while opening new ones. We talk about our favorite food in LA, and around the world while sharing a meal. This week Sol returns to set to help Jeremy with the appropriately named Cacio De Homie E Pepe, a Barbecue Beef Brisket rendition of a classic Italian dish. Join us!
