Story #050 - Will Glass

52m · Published 05 Jul 04:05

Chef Will Glass, co-owner and co-founder of HotSugarPop LLC, was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA. Will developed a passion for Culinary Arts in high school and attended Johnson & Wales University in North Miami, earning a bachelor’s degree in Culinary Arts.

While at Johnson & Wales, Will immersed himself in school activities, becoming a member of the Leadership Team, Special Functions Team, and Collegiate Ambassador Team. After graduation, Will enlisted in the United States Army Reserve as a Food Service Specialist and later commissioned as a Food Service Warrant Officer. Will has multiple overseas and stateside deployments and currently serves as the Food Advisor for the 518 Sustainment Brigade in Knightdale, NC. Will has also worked in several hotels, restaurant, and hospitals on the East Coast.

Will is married to the former Tiffany Templeton and they have three children. Their oldest son Tye has several food allergies and they struggled to find foods for him to eat. However, one of the foods Tye can eat is popcorn. Will and Tiffany popped popcorn for Tye as a snack for his lunch daily and soon began to experiment. Together they developed a recipe for kettle corn, and began sharing it with their friends, family and coworkers. In 2016, Will and Tiffany brought their snack to Fayetteville and in 2018 launched HotSugarPop.

Today HotSugarPop can be found in several stores throughout Fayetteville, online, and the the HotSugarPop's main location and manufacturing facility at the Cross Creek Mall.

Story #046 - Jesse MacDonald

1h 13m · Published 24 May 04:05

GUEST’S NAME:Jesse MacDonald

CULINARY SCHOOL AFFILIATION: Culinary Institute of Canada, Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island

BIO: Chef Jesse MacDonald had no aspirations of becoming a chef when he was growing up in Launching, Prince Edward Island. His childhood home was located on the corner of his grandfather’s large family farm, so he was able to spend ample time as a youngster gaining an appreciation for all things local.

In middle school he quite innocently got a summer job washing dishes at Rodd Brudenell River even though he was born into a fourth-generation lobster fishing family. By the time Jesse graduated high school he was one of the lead cooks in the resort’s main dining room. It was then that he decided to pursue cooking as a career and ended up enrolling that fall at the Culinary Institute of Canada, where he graduated from in 2010.

Chef MacDonald spent time during and after culinary school apprenticing under Chef Warren Barr, formerly of The Inn at Bay Fortune, as well as Chef Dave Mottershall, formerly of Terre Rouge and Red Shores Racetrack & Casino, before accepting his first Sous Chef position at an Italian restaurant in Guelph, Ontario. After spending some time exploring the vast dining scene of Ontario, he took an extended trip to Europe where he was able to secure stages in hotels and restaurants in France & Italy. Although he considered staying longer term, he ultimately decided to head home to Prince Edward Island.

Chef MacDonald then accepted a position with Rodd Hotels & Resorts as Sous Chef at Rodd Brudenell and after three seasons, he was offered the position of Executive Chef at Rodd Miramichi River Hotel in Miramichi, NB. After 4.5 years there, Chef MacDonald was given the opportunity to become Executive Chef of Rodd Crowbush Golf & Beach Resort, as well as Corporate Culinary Ambassador of Rodd Hotels & Resorts.

Story #044 - Danielle Benson

54m · Published 10 May 02:30

GUEST’S NAME:Danielle Benson

CULINARY SCHOOL AFFILIATION: Georgian College, Ontario, Canada

BIO: Chef Danielle Benson is from Ontario, Canada and first got started in the culinary industry in 2015. She had been looking to find a better relationship with food and control over food after struggling with mental health and an eating disorder. Chef Benson wanted to take her love of food and cooking to the next level, so she enrolled in culinary school at the Owen Sound campus of Georgian College where she learned a lot about culinary techniques. While only there for one year, she feels she learned the basics, however she was left wanting to learn more!

Chef Benson’s philosophy is that food is not only what fuels our bodies, but is also a creative outlet, and therefore knowing how to prepare it should be general knowledge. As a result, she created and hosts the Kitchen Survival Guide podcast. The first series of the show’s episodes focuses on food culture and history to help the listeners understand where their food comes from and how it has affected humanity throughout the years. Danielle plans for the show to eventually evolve into sharing culinary techniques, food science, and much, much, more. As a stay at home mother of 3, Danielle’s love of food and cooking is currently focused on her family, her podcast, and as a budding entrepreneur selling Epicure spices and cookware from home.

Story #042 - Charles Redmon

42m · Published 26 Apr 04:05

GUEST’S NAME:Charles Redmon

CULINARY SCHOOL AFFILIATION: Ivy Tech Community College, Muncie, IN

BIO: Chef Charles Redmon planned on making a career out of the military after he enlisted in the US Army in 1995. His plan however was cut short by an injury after just over 12 years of being an Infantryman / Combat Lifesaver. Now permanently out of the military, Chef Redmon needed to find a new career path. He was approved by the Veterans Administration to go back to school for training for vocational rehabilitation which is when culinary arts piqued his interest.

Having had some previous food and beverage experience working in professional kitchens prior to enlisting, he believed getting a degree in culinary arts would be just what he needed to get his new career started. After enrolling at Ivy Tech Community College in Muncie, Indiana, Charles began his academic pursuit in their new culinary arts / hospitality management degree program.

It was at Ivy Tech that Charles met his mentor Chef David Kain who was influential in motivating Charles to pursue his American Culinary Federation’s Certified Executive Chef (CEC). He also helped him get his culinary internship at Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL. After graduating, Chef Redmon has had several executive chef’s positions in the health care side of the industry, including his current position. He also continues to operate his catering company, “Veteran’s Catering”, part time.
