Aloha from Hawaii! I’m Matthew Gray, a lifelong chef and radio guy, and this is 50 Tastes Of Gray. Think of this podcast as a long, comfortable table where smart conversation is always on the menu. Each episode is built around a generous helping of stories and laughter, served with genuine warmth, a sharp wit, and just a dash of mischief. I sit down with fascinating people from all corners of the creative world-chefs, artists, musicians, thinkers, and anyone with a compelling story about how they live.
