Host Bryan Ford is joined by Chef Michael Carter AKA Chef Mike. Known locally as “The Flavor Regulator,” Mike is the Executive Chef at Down North Pizza in North Philadelphia. Mike started his chef journey as an inmate in prison, selling improvised meals to his fellow detainees. Now he runs his own restaurant as part of the Down North Foundation, which provides jobs and resources to the formerly incarcerated. Mike’s restaurant has established itself as a cornerstone of the community with its events and free meals, and the thoughtful eye towards history and local culture on display in its cuisine and decor. Join Chef Mike and Bryan for a very special episode of The Flaky Biscuit as they enjoy one of Mike’s favorite meals, chicken and dumplings.
