In this episode I talk food and beer with Jake Doherty of Deri Dari, an interactive cooking experience that brings ingredients to your door and loved ones into your kitchen again.

Jake is an American living in Germany for 22 years. Jake Studied History and Philosophy at Oglethorpe University in Atlanta Georgia then returned toLouisiana before moving to Germany. He worked for the American military recreation department in Garmisch-Partenkirchen as a waiter and bartender for three years then opened his own bar and restaurant for three years. He Traveled Italy, Austria, and Switzerland for two years before returning to Garmisch working in tourism before opening his own tour guide service – all things garmisch -for over eleven years. In March of 2020 he watched as all our bookings and reservations were cancelled and all deposits returned. He was forced let staff go, mothball the business, and look for another avenue to put food on the table. It was a life changing moment. He wanted to help others that were in the same traumatic situation and so he went back to his restaurant roots and opened – Deri Dari – an online platform, in the United States, where out of work chefs create and sell interactive live cooking Experiences for purchase that are coupled with ingredient delivery in the U.S. Each course is purchasable by household allowing friends and family to connect with a chef and cook a meal together.
