Show Notes
Before Alyson became captain of the wild kitchen, she was a professional video gamer travelling all around North America and worldwide for competitions. She was also on a reality television show.
“I used to be a pro gamer,” she says. “I started gaming when I was really little. I have five older brothers, and I needed to prove that I was equal in some way. Later on I became a professional gamer.”
She then worked at BioWare, where she helped launch a Star Wars video game.
“I think gamers’ minds work in a different way… even when we’re out a bar, I have to make an objective list for myself, always looking for little treasure hunts, it’s a way to frame the world.”
Now, she takes the energy she spent getting people addicted to video games to helping people realize a healthier lifestyle through incredibly delicious food.
