This week's guest is renowned Souther pastry chef and James Beard award winning writer, Lisa Donovan. You can also add author to her list of accolades as she recently published her memoir, 'Our Lady of Perpetual Hunger.'

What's there to say? Lisa is a real one. Funny AF too. She conducted the interview from her car in the parking lot of her local Publix in Nashville. Topics discussed:  amazing-ness of New Orleans and being allowed to be who you are, going through her first book tour during COVID times and managing the vulnerability hangover, the process of writing her  memoir, how trying to find meaning in her choices led to writing the book, addressing what needs to change (culturally, politically, economically) to improve the hospitality industry, the influence of music on her writing, living in north Georgia and loving the artistic universes of R.E.M. and Wayne White.
