Sara dives into Kentucky bourbon culture, explaining her approach to pairing and cooking with bourbon while celebrating the nuanced flavors. She shares her experience competing on Tournament of Champions for the first time, revealing how her calm, methodical style and strategic preparation helped her hold her own against seasoned veterans.
