Episode 19
In the penultimate episode of Season 2, Ryan chats with chef, baker, and deep-thinker Sam Tucker. At the helm of Village Bakery and Provisions, Tucker has cultivated a people-first, tradition-honoring bakery which serves some of the best restaurants in town (including Poli's own critically acclaimed Iggy's).
The duo cover a surprising amount of ground, especially given that our guest was coming fresh off a bakery shift that started well before the sun came up that morning. They talk about what it means to break bread with a neighbor or stranger, Sam's journey to starting his own bakery, and a litany of contemplative, philosophical prompts.
