  • Last-Minute Gifting- Dana Smith & Melissa Turpin of Honeycomb Kitchen Shop
    Dec 15 2025

    Welcome to the December episode of the Bien the Know Podcast!

    This month, we focus on last-minute gifting at the Honeycomb Kitchen Shop with owners Dana Smith and Melissa Turpin.

    We talk about late, late last-minute shoppers that are coming in to shop in a panic, some of their most popular items (many of which are Arkansas-made), their very popular cooking classes, many of which sell out quickly, their new sommelier curated wine shop, and much, much more.

    Plus Chef William gets into your recipe questions, answering them like only he can...

    In this edition of Bien the Know, we’re talking to Sandy Huffine from Krupp Brothers Wine in Napa Valley.

    We talk about growing wine through rocky volcanic soil and talk about the integrity of the grapes that make it through.

    We also take your recipe questions and talk too much about canned ham (more on that next month).

  • You Sure You Want to be a Chef? Guest- Sam Walker- Gaskins on Emma
    Oct 15 2025

    In the October episode of the Bien the Know podcast, we address the question, “Are you sure you want to be a chef?” The Food Network, The Bear, along with a multitude of other shows and movies have romanticized the position and the industry, but what’s it really like?

    John and Chef Will talk with special return guest Sam Walker, executive chef of Gaskins on Emma to discuss and swap stories. Culinary school versus the school of Hard Knocks (and long hours), which is best, or should you do both? What about the climb to executive chef? What’s the hardest position in the kitchen?

    Nothing but war stories and advice from two local superstar chefs that have lived to show their scars and tell their stories here on this episode of Bien the Know!

    Sidenote- there's some explicit language in this one, so earmuff those kids!
