If you’ve watched the Netflix reboot of Iron Chef, you know one of the hardest jobs is held by… the judges! Sure, the chefs are under pressure to get their dishes done and to the judges’ table in record time, but someone has to eat all that food—and pass judgment on the country’s top culinary talent. Globetrotter and TV personality Nilou Motamed handled the gig with aplomb. The food and travel expert joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about the show, the comfort foods and hospitality traditions of her native Iran, and some formative experiences from her childhood. If you love the intersection of culture and cuisine, don’t miss this episode. Radio Cherry Bombe is supported by Whole Foods Market and Anjali’s Cup.
