Taste Music Hear Food Podcast Show is a unique platform that explores the intersection of food, music, and culture through authentic conversations with creatives, entrepreneurs, artists, chefs, athletes, and cultural leaders.
Originally launched as a blog by Chef/Musician Ed Porter, the platform has always been rooted in the idea that food and music extend far beyond their literal definitions. Food represents anything we consume — physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually — while music symbolizes the vibration, rhythm, and energy that shape our lives and communities.
The Fire Behind Flame: Tommy McNeal on Food, Faith & Generational Wealth
Tommy McNeal — entrepreneur, executive coach, and the business mind behind McNeal Management and Flame Mobile Kitchen — joins Taste Music Hear Food to talk about leaving corporate leadership for community-centered ownership, growing a mobile food and catering brand through COVID disruption, and the cold truths of scaling with fair wages and high food costs. A conversation about faith, brotherhood, customer experience, and why legacy has to include ownership, mentorship, and opportunity.
Taste Music Hear Food explores how food, music, and culture shape who we become.

Chef Joe Sasto: Pasta, Breaking Rules & Reimagining Italian Food
We sit down with my buddy Chef Joe Sasto: Top Chef finalist, Tournament of Champions competitor, author of Breaking the Rules, and creator of Tantos, the original puffed pasta chip.
Joe shares his journey from Michelin-level kitchens to national food TV. He talks about the pressure of competition, and about the difference between cooking for judges and cooking for real people. He also explains how pasta became his personal creative language. The conversation goes well beyond pasta, into growth, identity, discipline, internet food culture, CPG's, and legacy. It's about why breaking the rules only matters once you understand them.
This episode is for chefs, food lovers, Top Chef fans, entrepreneurs, and creatives building something original while honoring where they came from.
