Chef Matt Steigerwald, head chef at Rapid Creek Cidery, makes his debut on this week's episode of Pollinate. Today they discuss the importance of finding good locally sourced products and building strong relationships with those growers, the craze behind cooking shows and other online food media, and what the title of "Chef" really means.
