Neen Williams flips the script and interviews his co-host, chef Phillip Frankland Lee. Phillip opens up about his origins, his 8th-grade band audition grind, and the moment he first saw real money. He shares how he became obsessed with food, the lessons the industry taught him, and the emotional lows—crying in the kitchen, dropping out of culinary school, and pushing himself to earn 10 years of experience in 5.Phillip also talks about building his award-winning restaurant group, earning a Michelin star, and creating his now-famous sushi concepts that have lines out the door. Plus, he breaks down opening a restaurant in just one week and the whirlwind that followed when Joe Rogan posted about their spot.
