On this week’s Love + Grit, Rachel, Justin and Laiya spend time with James Beard Award nominee Eli Kulp, the chef behind Fork, High Street On Market and High Street Hospitality Group and host of The CHEF Radio Podcast. They talk with Kulp about how he reinvented his life following a 2015 Amtrak crash that left him paralyzed and his new podcast, which explores all aspects of the food and restaurant industry. Next, Aunyea Lachelle, host of NBC10’s Philly Live, shares black hair care tips from some local stylists and stories from fashion designers getting a boost from the Philadelphia Fashion & Garment Industry Task Force. She also reports on daily deliveries that hospital workers are receiving from Simply Good Jars. Finally, the hosts speak to Nasheli Juliana Ortiz-González ‒ fashion designer and department chair at Moore College of Art & Design and contestant on the Netflix’s “Next in Fashion” ‒ and Marién Vélez ‒ lighting designer and founder of 22 Studio ‒ about how they’re creating high-concept ways to keep us safe and stylish.
