With the hospitality business struggling because of COVID19 - and restaurants closing across the country, today's episode talks about generosity, a world renowned chef and helping others. In the studio with me this week is CultureMap Houston Food Editor Eric Sandler. He gives the inside story about celebrity chef David Chang winning the $1 million prize on Who Wants to be a Millionaire, and how David's win benefits the Southern Smoke Foundation (the nonprofit created by Houston chef Chris Shepherd which provides money to restaurant workers in crisis). Eric also talks about the restaurant industry in Houston, his  love of game shows plus lets me in on what restaurant has the best tacos in Houston. Bon appetit!

About the Spotlight Conversations podcast:

Join me as I invite friends inside my cozy linoleum free recording studio to talk all about media. Could be radio, television, audiobooks, music, film, voiceovers - if they've worked in media, we're talkin'! Unscripted and nearly always entertaining, each guest gets real about their careers in the entertainment biz; from where they started to how it's going. Join us in the studio where drinks are always on ice; music + media are the conversation starters. New episodes every other Tuesday. Thanks so much for listening! - Donna
