Bobby Hicks is a chef, food historian, and author of the new cookbook, Retro Recipes: Vintage Dishes with a Modern Twist. You may recognize him as a contestant on Season 4 of Gordon Ramsay's Next Level Chef. His debut cookbook, Retro Recipes, contains 100 previously forgotten recipes — like Chicken A La King, Orange Sherbert, and even Jello Salad — that he has revived for modern tastes. Bobby revisits the dishes that filled family tables throughout much of the 20th century with updated techniques, clear instructions, and plenty of historical context. Through his unique blend of culinary expertise and humor, Bobby explores why these recipes were so popular in their time and what they can still teach us today.
In this episode, we chat about his unconventional path into professional kitchens, how a pandemic-era hobby turned into a deep dive through a century of food history, and what it actually took to bring 100 retro recipes back to life for the modern table.
