I'm Mark Murphy. I'm a chef, restaurateur,

0:02

and all around curious guy with a true

0:04

interest in all things food. I've been cooking

0:07

for over thirty years. I've worked in

0:09

and owned a number of restaurants, but my experience

0:11

is a judge on Food Network's Shop for the past

0:13

ten years has really piqued my curiosity

0:15

in the food culture. I believe there's a story behind

0:18

every meal, a story behind every person

0:20

who makes it, a story behind each ingredient

0:22

used, and I want to know everything I can about

0:24

it, and that's why we're here. My new podcast,

0:27

Food three sixty will take an all encompassing

0:29

look at the world of food, bringing history,

0:31

science and culture to the table. You'll get

0:33

behind the scenes stories from my friends in the industry

0:36

and dig into why we eat the way we do.

0:38

I would say the restaurants like Nikulto

0:40

particles, after five years, they start losing their

0:42

their mojo and you have to re energize

0:45

being a restaurant worker, being a chef

0:47

is the biggest privilege of my life. To be able to

0:49

do that all over the world. It's

0:51

hard, but it's also one of the things

0:53

that actually gets me up in the morning. Truthfully,

0:56

I'm able to separate, for the most part,

0:58

my personal life and dislikes from

1:01

if a dish is successful

1:03

in its preparation and judge if

1:05

it has merit, and I

1:07

think a lot of it also comes from the chef's intention.

1:10

The most important thing for me is

1:12

not my writing ego. It's

1:14

getting people to cook delicious food. Be

1:16
