To be a cook, is to be a storyteller | David Guas | TEDxTysonsSalon

Like art, music, movies, and books, food tells stories that last generations. James Beard Award finalist, New Orleans-born chef/author, and TV personality, David Guas, explains why it is our duty to continue to tell stories through food so that family traditions and cultures can be shared with future generations. New Orleans-born TV personality and chef, David Guas, is widely familiar from his frequent appearances on "The Today Show," “The Talk,” “Food Network,” and his role as host and co-judge of Travel Channel’s summer competition series, "American Grilled." With no battle for attention, Guas has garnered national praise in publications like Food & Wine, Southern Living, Garden & Gun, Saveur and Bon Appétit for showcasing the soul of the South in his sinfully delicious, Louisiana-style favorites and signature desserts at his neighborhood spot in Arlington, Virginia, Bayou Bakery, Coffee Bar & Eatery and his newest spot Lil’ B Coffee & Eatery in Washington, DC. Not with a moment to spare, Guas completed his second cookbook with Oxmoor House, Grill Nation: 200 Surefire Recipes, Tips, and Techniques to Grill like a Pro, released April 2015. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
