We met in New Orleans at Howard Conyers' Gumbo Jubilee where he and several other chefs roasted a whole cow led by Conyers and his father. Flanking the whole cow bbq were the most amazing oysters I'v ever had in my life. Chef Chris would not even begin to tell me what was in his secret sauce and I can't blame him. Listen in for his story and what he's up to now-I promise you'll be impressed.  *I mentioned Chef David Hannah from rocksolidfood.com/tcrx59 Mon, 20 Jan 2020 09:00:00 +0000 https://podcasts.captivate.fm/media/abd05605-bebd-45d0-a90d-54763d289777/tcrx-57-chris-hayes.mp3 http://traffic.libsyn.com/thechefrockxperiment/tcrx-57--chris-hayes.mp3?dest-id=628862 Chef Chris Hayes is a beast in the kitchen and an honorable, servant of his community.
