Today, we are joined by our good friend, author, food stylist and much more, Courtney McBroom.
We recorded this a little while back, right before the Emmys.
Courtney consulted on Apple's TV's lessons in chemistry, starring her friend Brie Larson.
We chatted about everything from Courtney's career, starting from milk bar to blessings in chemistry and the emergence of new paths.
Because back in the day there was probably like, I'm catering or I'm going to work in a restaurant.
Now those aren't even cool options anymore.
There's so many others.
And something we've talked about on this podcast about a chef that is trying to food style.
And none of those things from the restaurant world actually translate at all to food styling.
And we're going to talk a little about spit buckets and the challenge of food styling for TV shows in general.
