Cutthroat Kitchen's Janet Ross, Wuz Smith, Finding 'Daughter Of The Dawn'

As sous chef at Café Sebastienne, Janet Ross prepares ruby trout with a root vegetable hash. As a contestant on Cutthroat Kitchen: Tournament of Terror, she uses murder weapons to prepare Halloween-themed meals like liver and brains. How does she transition between the two? 

Plus, a local fashion prodigy who had a luxury label before he even graduated from high school, and the tale of a long-lost film featuring an all Native American cast and the man who found it.

Guests:

  • Janet Ross, local chef
  • Wuz Smith, clothing designer, ASID Luxury
  • Brian Hearn, art collector, curator
People don't make cameos in news stories; the human story is the story, with characters affected by news events, not defined by them. As a columnist and podcaster, I want to acknowledge what it feels like to live through this time in Kansas City, one vantage point at a time. Together, these weekly vignettes form a collage of daily life in Kansas City as it changes in some ways, and stubbornly resists change in others.
