Pernil and Cornbread w/ Chef Roshara Sanders

Host Bryan Ford is joined by Chef Roshara Sanders, also known as Chef Ro. Deployed to both Iraq and Afghanistan as a member of the 4th Engineer Battalion, Chef Ro started cooking professionally after she returned stateside and joined the 395th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, where she cross trained as a food supply specialist. In 2016, NBC Black named Chef Roshara Sanders to their annual “28 Under 28” list, and in 2018 she was named to Forbes “30 Under 30.” In 2020, she became the first Black woman to be a chef instructor at the Culinary Institute of America in New York. She currently serves as a celebrity ambassador for Habitat for Humanity International. 

Today’s meal takes Chef Ro back to holidays with her Puerto Rican step family.
