Chef Kwame Onwuachi joins Keke and shares how watching Barack Obama succeed inspired him to change the course of his life after getting into trouble as a young man. He traces his journey from the Bronx and Nigeria to Top Chef, reflecting on failure, finding his voice through food and building Tatiana into one of NYC’s hottest restaurants. Plus, he talks cooking at the Met Gala and teaches Keke a recipe from his new cookbook, All Hours: Crazy Good Food for Whatever, Whenever.
