In this episode of Cheftionary: The Podcast, Chef Mychal Billiot breaks down one of the most frustrating experiences in home cooking — food that tastes flat.
Most people assume the problem is salt. But flat flavor isn’t about adding more seasoning. It’s about understanding how seasoning actually works.
Chef Mychal explains:
• Why measuring matters more than people think
• When instinct replaces measurement (and when it shouldn’t)
• The difference between seasoning and guessing
• Why attention — not talent — builds flavor
If you’ve ever followed a recipe perfectly and still felt disappointed, this episode will change how you approach seasoning forever.
