About this episode

This episode honors the late Thomas Williams, highlighting his contributions to Nashville's culinary community and his efforts in fundraising after the 2010 floods.

In the wake of the sad passing, Friday, July 10, 2026 of Thomas Williams, one of the most influential figures in Nashville's culinary community, I want to honour Thomas Williams and the extraordinary life of selflessness that he lived today. Thomas and I recorded this conversation some years back and I thought that it would be fitting to share it today. This show is about how Thomas rallied a group of talented and giving chefs and other selfless human beings to raise money for aid and recovery efforts after the devastating floods that hit Nashville in 2010. Founding Member Thomas Williams and the beginnings of the Nashville Food Project.
