Bill Sanders is a young chef based in New Jersey, who never initially set out to pursue a career in cooking. His journey began at the age of 13, when he started cooking at home out of necessity, as his hard-working single mother was often away. What started as a way to survive soon transformed into a passion as he spent years experimenting with flavors and ingredients. At 16, he landed his first job as a busboy at the now-defunct Pig & Prince, where he worked under the guidance of his mentor, Chef Michael Carrino. Since then, he’s been on a mission to master his craft.

The most pivotal moment in his culinary journey came when he joined the 7 Doors Down Ramen team, where the Asian and Japanese-inspired cuisine sparked a deeper connection to the culinary world, much like a tuna caught deep in the sea. From there, he went on to co-found Kinjo with Chef Jamie Knott before launching his own brand, Alma Matters Industries. Through this platform, he offers consultations, private chef services, and runs Alma Izakaya pop-up shops, which have become a staple in the local restaurant scene.

We hope you enjoy getting to know Bill and hearing his fascinating story here on The Sauce Talk Podcast!

Ewok One is a legendary graffiti artist based in New York City who has been sharing his artwork with the world for nearly three decades. With a background in skateboarding and breakdancing, his natural progression within hip-hop culture was a seamless fit. Exceptionally talented across multiple disciplines, he infuses originality and attitude into every piece he creates—whether on the streets, in fine art spaces, or through his collaborations with various clients across different fields. Not only is he one of the greatest artists to ever touch a spray can, but he has also contributed significantly to the culture by designing artwork for some of my favorite hip-hop albums of all time. Additionally, he played a key role in designing content for the iconic graffiti-forward video game Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure, released by Marc Ecko in 2006. As someone who has admired his work since my teenage years, it was both an honor and a pleasure to sit down with him and satisfy my curiosities. I'm excited to share our conversation with you all. Please join me in welcoming the absolutely incredible Ewok One!
