Lorenzo Espada on his journey from Hot Plates to the Food Network Hot List

Lorenzo Espada, known online as Eat With Zo, joins the pod to talk about landing on Food Network’s 2026 Hot List and the full-circle moment of being recognized by the network he grew up watching. He shares how cooking with his grandmothers shaped his love of food, and how selling food out of his college dorm helped spark the idea that eventually became his “Somethin’ Outta Nothin’” philosophy.


Lorenzo also dives into the viral crab cake biscuit video that changed everything, how social media helped transform his private dining hustle into a full-time career, and why making cooking fun and approachable is the heart of his content.
