I caught up with Chef Damaris Phillips, star of Food Network’s new show Southern at Heart and the winner of last season’s Food Network Star.
Damaris shares her take on the relationship between food and music, her favorite Louisville bands and venues, and the best Taylor Swift karaoke songs.
After The Show: Do you ever listen to music while cooking? Would you recommend that people use music as a way to enhance the cooking experience?
Damaris: When I am throwing a party, I always listen to pop music of today OR the ’90s. I like to dance around the kitchen singing and gearing up for fun.

Back to school. Exciting. Bittersweet. Often overwhelming.
This may help.
Based on my experience…
Your kid doesn’t need a “Tiger Mom” to berate or shame him or her into being a good student.
They don’t need to be workaholics or spend all their time on homework, test prep, calculus or – God forbid – the violin!
All they need is a desire to succeed, positive motivation, respect, common sense and solid advice from a student who’s been there and done that – recently.
Help your kid! Help yourself!
