From Food Network To Prairie Street: Chef Kendra's Culinary Journey

For our third episode, Elliot sits down with Prairie Street Co’s own Culinary Producer, Kendra Thatcher. Inspired by global travel, hyperlocal cultures, and home cooks everywhere, Chef Kendra brings a humble, grassroots approach to the Prairie Street Culinary Kitchen. With years of experience behind the scenes at Food Network and Cooking Channel, her expertise in writing, producing, and developing has helped Prairie Street realize its vision of building a premier kosher cooking channel. Her interest in and respect for kosher cooking has been the catalyst to creating globally inspired recipes and flavors for the kosher kitchen. Having worked together since the second season of filming, Elliot and Chef Kendra discuss the heart, passion, and hard work it takes to keep the Prairie Street Culinary Kitchen ahead of the curve and forging foreward. (And it’s only the beginning!)
