7 Deadly Sins and 3 Duckies

Karla LaJeunesse, aka the NM Donut Kween, joins the chefs on this episode to chat about her love of food, travel, and the way her passion for donuts came about. Creating a local business out of a love of food is always a challenge when it comes to the business side, and the three brainstorm some ideas to expand the reach and appeal of these mini donuts, although they are already really delicious and appealing! Other topics include the legacy she’s created by instilling this passion for food and adventure in her children and the small businesses that surround her brand new shop in downtown Albuquerque. Simply Sinful Donuts – ABQ is a woman owned local small business new to Albuquerque. She specializes in creating mini-donuts and mini-bombs with different combinations that create a product full of sweet, devilishly delicious flavor. Her love for food started at a young age with her grandparents teaching her simple recipes and has grown into a deep love of creating different types of savory & sweet dishes. This love for food has transcended into many delicious treats but specializing in these mini creations makes her heart happy. In turn her love is poured into each Pandora’s Box & Pandora's Cup assortment that she creates.

Competing Bowling Alleys In Socorro

On this episode, Dom and Tristin talk with Hollow Spirits’ head distiller, Mick Falter-Hahn. Join this rollicking tour of his experiences around New Mexico and in Albuquerque’s service industry. Thanks to his tenacity, he achieved his dream of becoming a premier beer brewer in his hometown. After achieving his goal of creating beautiful, delicious, and award-winning beers, Mick turned his attention to the distillation of spirits, where he has now also won Best Of awards for his various recipes. Mick Falter-Hahn was born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico and has work in nearly every aspect of the service industry in the past 16 years, most notably producing alcohol for some of the state’s favorite breweries and distilleries. After achieving a degree in Chemical Engineering from New Mexico Tech, their journey into the fantastic world of fermentation began at Marble Brewing in 2012, before having the opportunity to run Turtle Mountain’s brewing operation, where they won a gold medal for their house lager, “Wooden Teeth,” at the 2018 Great American Beer Festival. Mick is currently the head distiller at Hollow Spirits. When not busy building Burque’s best beverages, Mick is either golfing or relaxing at home with his wonderful wife, Alex.

Fish and Cheese

Life can throw you a curveball or ten, even when you’ve figured out your passion as a young person. Without understanding how to navigate some of these most challenging obstacles, it can all feel like it’s wrong. In this episode, Stephen Ormsby discusses some of his darkest times, even amidst professional success. His vulnerability and willingness to look these challenges in the eye are what has created for him an even greater opportunity to succeed and help others to do so as well. Stephen Ormsby is an industry lifer, holding virtually every position in both front and back of house, who has branched out on his own and tried his hand at multiple concepts. His career began in Taos, NM, where he credits his early mentor and high school instructor, the late Benji Apodaca, for creating the foundation for his culinary career. After high school, Ormsby relocated to Scottsdale, Arizona to attend the Scottsdale Culinary Institute. While living and working in Scottsdale, he began to develop an interest and passion for the theater and workings of the dining room and shifted his focus to becoming a front of house trainer and eventual manager for Fox Restaurant Concepts. In 2010, he was visiting family in Albuquerque and upon his return to Arizona decided he was ready for a change and moved back to New Mexico. He has since taken on dual roles in kitchens and dining rooms in many of the city’s top restaurants. His love for both sides led him to begin a private chef and catering concept where he could combine the best parts of the kitchen and dining room into one role. Personal matters eventually caused him to have to shut the business down, which has since led him on his greatest venture yet: a journey of self-discovery. If you feel like you need to talk to someone about the struggles you’re currently experiencing, please call 1-855-4NM-7100 (466-7100).
