AZ Interview on The Queen Latifah Show: Highlights & Moments

QT with The Queen

Last week I taped The Queen Latifah Show and had the pleasure of spending some quality time with Queen Latifah. She’s a serious food lover, a thoughtful cultural progressive, and generous enough to let me explain on camera why I do what I do — a conversation many shows don’t always allow. While many programs chase flashy, attention-grabbing moments or food spectacles, Q and her team gave me room to be authentic and deeper than the usual sound bite. Huge thanks to Queen Latifah and her crew for that.

During the show we also previewed the new season of Bizarre Foods America and sampled a few of my favorite dishes alongside actor and Wild Things host Dominic Monaghan. I’ve long admired Dominic from his work in Lord of the Rings and Lost, and his BBC America series is compelling — definitely worth watching.
