Ep 44#KetoSexy With Dr. Amy Gutman
Who knew? #KetoSexy with Dr. Amy does. Join me, Matthew Gray, on this exciting episode of 50 Tastes Of Gray as I welcome the sassy and brilliant Dr. Amy Gutman. An East Coast ER physician with a sharp wit and a knack for engaging conversation, Dr. Gutman is relatively new to the podcasting world but brings a wealth of medical and food knowledge along with a sly, edgy and humorous personality to the table. Initially mistaking (mis-diagnosing?) my show for a food/cooking podcast, Dr. Gutman quickly embraced the true essence of 50 Tastes Of Gray – yes, we're food-forward around here, yet rely upon deeply stimulating and engaging conversation. In preparation for her appearance (you can tell she did her homework), Amy delved into the world of Keto, aligning with my Keto/Carnivore lifestyle, and responded positively to my thumbs-up response to her excitement as "#KetoSexy" which she absolutely loved. When speaking about where the word avocado came from Amy made mention that the word “avocado” has an interesting and somewhat amusing origin. It comes from the Nahuatl word “āhuacatl,” which translates to “testicle.” {I'm just happy she didn't invite me over for guacamole!} 🤣 In this episode, we cover a wide range of topics, from food and family to the challenges of raising an autistic child and the dynamics of her Irish Catholic husband. Wey also dive into the quirks of being a tattooed Jewish woman who enjoys pork (especially bacon!), their differing views on cruising, and much more. Expect a lively discussion on cooking, dreaming, the state of the world, and even a touch of politics. Dr. Gutman shares invaluable insights from her decades of global clinical, research, EMT experience and corporate background. She has cultivated inner strength, makes quick decisions under pressure, leads teams effectively, and achieves both physical and mental wellness. Her passion for challenging a healthcare industry (and us, its patients!) that often profits from illness rather than promoting wellness is evident throughout the conversation. Tune in for a transformative experience that will inspire you to reach new heights in your leadership, resiliency, and wellness journey, unlocking your thriving powerhouse potential. Eat the right things. If you don't know what that means, ask Amy, or myself. #KetoSexy #50TastesOfGray #Podcasting #WellnessJourney #Leadership Dr. Amy Gutman: ER physician, new to podcasting, East Coast native Topics: Keto lifestyle, family dynamics, autism, cultural quirks, cruising, cooking, dreaming, politics Insights on leadership, resiliency, and wellness Challenges to the healthcare industry Amy's Social's: Website: www.ToughLoveMD.expert Twitter: x.com/@ToughLoveMD LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amy-gutman-md-facep-a4190890/ Matthew Gray Socials Below... https://www.youtube.com/@50tastesofgray/featured Historical: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthew-gray-hawaii My Written Words: https://www.HawaiiFoodTours.com/blog Tongue-in-Cheek: http://www.archive.lovelife.com/matthew.html My Book: Ultimate Eater's Guide: Hawaii Edition - https://hawaiifoodtours.com/ FeedSpot's 70 Best Food Podcasts You Must Follow for 2024 (https://podcasts.feedspot.com/food_podcasts/#fsbhead) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/50TastesOfGrayPodcast/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/50TastesOfGray/ LinkedIN: https://linkedin.com/in/matthew-gray-hawaii @50TastesOfGray Dig-it!

Ep 40Noshing Narratives: Culinary Characters Unlocked
In this episode of 50 Tastes Of Gray, I had the immense pleasure of welcoming back the legendary David Page, the original creator and producer of the iconic show Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. This was David’s second appearance on the podcast, and let me tell you, it was nothing short of spectacular. David and I share a lifelong love (and perhaps an addiction) for food, flavor, history, and cooking. Our bond goes beyond just our professional lives; we both grew up in Jewish households filled with humor, sarcasm, hostility, and passion. With decades of experience in media and entertainment—David in TV news and journalism, and myself in hosting and talk-radio—we have a unique connection that makes our conversations truly special. David is quite the talker, and if I didn’t want to spend the entire show saying “wow,” “right,” “really?” and “that’s interesting,” I had to be a bit more conversationally assertive. But that’s the beauty of our dynamic—I can razz David without him missing a beat. We tease, laugh, tell stories, commiserate, communicate, listen, learn, and inform each other. It’s a great connection, and I’d wager he has the best time on my show than any other he’s ever done. We discussed a wide range of topics, including food, travel, therapy, family, good timing, hard work, not letting the perfect be the enemy of the good, health challenges, food ingredients, a bit of politics, and so much more. It was a conversation filled with depth, humor, and profound insights. About David Page: David Page is the President and Executive Producer of Page Productions and the Host and Executive Producer of Culinary Characters Unlocked. An Emmy winner and internationally acclaimed journalist, David is best known for creating the beloved show Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. His new podcast, Culinary Characters Unlocked, features incisive, entertaining, and uninhibited conversations with culinary stars, future stars, and chefs and owners of beloved local classics and mom-n-pop restaurants from coast to coast. The podcast premieres on August 27th and will drop twice a week on Tuesdays and Fridays. Among the first guests on Culinary Characters Unlocked are: Nancy Silverton, legendary Los Angeles Michelin-starred chef and pioneer in the California cuisine and artisanal bread movements. Dan Barber, multi-Michelin-starred chef at the forefront of the local food movement. Drew Nieporent, the “last old school restaurateur standing,” best known for partnering with Robert DeNiro on Nobu and the Tribeca Grill. Adrian Miller, an award-winning culinary scholar and leading authority on Southern and African American foodways. Christine Nguyen, James Beard award-winning chef with restaurants ranging from Vietnamese to South American. Marvin Lender, who, along with his brothers, introduced non-New York America to bagels after figuring out how to mass-produce and freeze them. And Me, Yours Truly, Matthew Gray, will be featured very shortly on David's show. David’s prior television experience includes decades in network news at both ABC and NBC, covering some of the biggest stories on the planet (including walking through the Berlin Wall the night it opened) and control-room producing Good Morning America. He is also the author of the award-winning book Food Americana, which explores the creation of American cuisine from the foods of other countries and cultures. Tune in to this episode for an entertaining, insightful, and delicious conversation with the one and only David Page! If you enjoy 50 Tastes Of Gray, Please Subscribe!
