Athleisure Kitchen is back for its 2nd season! As your host, Kimmie Smith, we took a culinary journey in Season 1 with Chef Marcus Samuelsson, Top Chef winner Chef Brooke Williamson and Top Chef judge Gail Simmons. We also caught up with Chef Cat Cora, Michelin starred Chef George Mendes, Eataly’s VP of Global Partnerships Dino Borri, No Kid Hungry’s National Director of Champion Engagement Jenny Dirksen to name a few.

This season we talk with more culinary luminaries whose food storytelling takes place in the kitchens, on screen and beyond. We’re kicking off the 2nd season with one of our favorites who can also be seen in the NOV ISSUE #71 of Athleisure Mag, Duff Goldman. This baker, restaurateur, Food Network and Discovery+ food personality, host and advocate for eliminating food insecurity, especially with children via his work with No Kid Hungry shares his projects and his passion for taking food exploration to the next level. We also talk with Aarti Sequeira about the importance of food identity, her latest Food Network show that she’s judging, Holiday Wars and how she enjoys giving feedback to contestants who are showing their talents. We also talk about her food journal which allows you to record your family recipes that have been passed down as well as the new food traditions that you enjoy with your friends and family. We will also catch up with one of our favorites from Top Chef, Eric Adjepong who talks about how important it is for him to focus on West African cuisine. We love it all, whether it’s him presenting it during his season of Top Chef, being involved in partnerships that drive this awareness and even opening a concept in Ghana to continue to share this love.

Our theme music is "This Boy" performed by Ilya Truhanov.
