Famed Hawaiian celebrity chef Sam Choy was back in Arkansas recently, an occasion momentous enough to awaken Heaping Spoonful from its retirement slumber. Local star chef Jamie McAfee brought Sam by the studio, and we caught up with both of them in a lively conversation you won't want to miss.

"Heaping Spoonful" is a twice-monthly conversation with restaurateurs, chefs, growers and others who have helped generate the legends associated with eateries across the Mid-South. The team at Ben E. Keith is proud to sponsor this adventure with the goal of preserving the stories that have helped cultivate an amazing food scene across the Mid-South.
