Episode 11: 'Milwaukee Dan' Jacobs

This week we hear from Wisconsin's first "Top Chef" contestant, James Beard-nominated Milwaukee chef Dan Jacobs. 

Jacobs talks about how team challenges remind him of youth sports, what his favorite challenge has been so far this season, and what it was really like to boil fish on Grant Park Beach in a "smoke tunnel." ("My notebook from 'Top Chef' still smells like a campfire," he said.)

Also on this week's show, host Lindsay Christians talks with Fortune Favors CEO Sam McDaniel about how the Madison company product-placed their candied pecans, and the power television can have on sales for a growing food business.
