078 Chef Barbara Ann, From Farm Fields To Pittsburgh Plates

A private chef who learned pasta in an Umbrian cellar, sold out DC markets with recipe cards, and now feeds Pittsburgh with allergy-aware comfort food? That’s Barbara Ann of A B Kitchen, and her story is a tour of how real-world cooking can be both nourishing and exciting without getting fussy. We visit the nuts and bolts of Barbara's off-site private chef model: custom meal prep, catering that accommodates varied diets, and partnerships with trusted nutrition pros to align flavor with macros and recovery goals. Her background spans DC restaurant trenches, global travel influences, and seasons on Pennsylvania organic farms. Plus a stint at Whole Foods helped guide what cools quickly, reheats cleanly, and still tastes fresh on day two. We also venture across town to spotlight Tram’s Kitchen, a cash-only Vietnamese staple where plastic tablecloths hide a kitchen making one of Pittsburgh’s most satisfying bowls of bún bò Huế. Creator Karen Hoang explains why the spicy broth, tender noodles, and “no ambiance, all flavor” ethos make it a must-visit when you want substance over scene. For a quick home win, Lisa Ray from Hamajack Heat Company drops a three-minute guacamole: one avocado, a spoon of Sublime jalapeño sauce, lime, and salt. It’s the kind of recipe shortcut that we love. Press play, then subscribe, rate, and share with a friend who loves hidden gems and smarter comfort food.
