In this episode of into the Soup, we hang out with one of the coolest Chefs in town, Glenn Humphrey. Glenn is the Placement Director and former Basics Instructor at the Arizona Culinary Institute. Chef Glenn took time out of his busy day to teach Heidi how to make homemade pasta and chicken piccata. Glenn is a renowned chef with a cult following of his own, and anyone that knows him well just loves the guy! So sit back and relax and enjoy this Chef Spotlight video.

In this 14 minute into the Soup Spotlight video, Heidi learns the techniques behind world-class sushi making from one of the best, "Sushi" Jeff of Sushi on a Roll in San Diego, CA.

We learned a lot and had a great time with Jeff and his buddies at Sushi on a Roll. This is a must see video.
