Show Sponsor: The Pizza Therapy Pizza Kit: All you need to make great pizza!
Hello and welcome to Episode 5 of the pizza therapy podcast. I call this the 25,000 Dollar pizza interview.
The following interview with Gail Churrinnetz is from a few years ago and is one of my favorite pizza conversations. Gail had just won the Food Networks Ultimate Recipe Showdown, hosted by Guy Fieri. She won by creating a crawfish and andouille Sausage Pizza.
The incredible thing is that in the middle of filming here episodes in New York she drove to Sally’s Apizza in New Haven to use the water in her award-winning pie.
This interview adds fuel to the endless debate of whether water actually does make a difference in making great pizza.
Gail is a professional chef, as well as an instructor. She also worked at ACH Food companies helping to develop and refine recipes She was the winner of Pizza Therapy’s Pizza Competition, as well a regular chef guest on local CBS affiliate morning show and food writer for Germantown News in Tennessee
Currently, she has an “in-home” pizza party business. Which you can find at her website
