SEASON FINALE: I’ve known Jamie Oliver () for almost 20 years - and I’m still taking notes.

He’s one of the most recognized chefs in the world, but what sets him apart is how deeply he cares. About kids. About education. About doing the work - and not just in the kitchen.

We talk about where his passion comes from, how dyslexia shaped his journey, and why it still seems like he throws himself into every project like it’s his first.

This was a special conversation. Please enjoy this episode as we go Beyond the Plate… with Chef Jamie Oliver.

There’s a quiet intensity about Chef Evan Funke () that you don’t forget.

His presence is calm but deeply focused. He’s put in the 10,000 hours of rolling pasta (and many times over) and continues to approach his craft every day with discipline, care, and a deep respect for tradition and mentorship.

We talked about pasta, of course-but also about ego, choosing the harder path, and what it really means to build a community inside your restaurant walls. That same mindset shapes how he gives back, supporting organizations like Baby2Baby, Alex’s Lemonade Stand, World Central Kitchen, and No Kid Hungry.
