From Puerto Rico to the Plate Cooking With Culture and Connection

Описание: “People don’t just remember the food. They remember the story.”

In this short clip from The More You Know, The Better It Tastes, Chef Kaius explains how connection and storytelling shape every dish he creates.

After a team trip to Puerto Rico, Chef Kaius and his crew bonded over food, culture, and shared experience. That connection became the inspiration for a Puerto Rican–themed burger they later brought to a Burger Showdown—transforming a memory into a dish people could feel, not just taste.

He shares how this same philosophy shows up everywhere in his work—from paella competitions to unexpected touches like fried chicken—because what resonates most isn’t a single ingredient. It’s the story being told through the food.

This approach defines The Chef Kaius Experience: cuisine built on culture, memory, and intention. The soul comes from the narrative. The flavor is just how the story gets delivered.

What you’ll hear in this clip:

How travel and shared experiences inspire dishes

Why storytelling creates deeper food connections

How cultural moments translate to competition plates

Why “soul” matters more than novelty

How intentional storytelling makes food memorable

Whether you’re a chef, creator, or business owner, this is a reminder that people connect to meaning—not just product.
