Most chefs measure a career in kitchens. Tiffany Poe has measured hers in classrooms, boardrooms, and now, AI chats at 2am.
In this episode of Fugitive Chefs, Furqan sits down with chef, educator, coach, and AI trainer Tiffany Poe to trace a 25-year career that moved through restaurants, culinary education, corporate food, professional coaching, and artificial intelligence — including the year she lost her job, and how she rebuilt from there.
In this episode we discuss:
Tiffany's "Forrest Gump career" and why none of it was planned
Getting unexpectedly "kidnapped" into a culinary education career
What's broken about how culinary education is priced and structured — and what's actually changing
Why competency-based, micro-credentialed learning is replacing the four-year degree model
Losing her corporate chef role during COVID, and how that became a coaching career
Letting go of the "hats" she'd built her identity around
Why she calls herself a "possibilitarian" — and the story behind it
The biggest misconceptions chefs have about AI, and why she calls it "the most consequential tool" the profession has ever had
Her advice for any chef with something going on their back burner
