Lisa Steele on Fresh Eggs Daily, why chickens need a raise, and the lucky number 7

Hungry for More : an Epicurean's Dilemma

They call her "Queen of the Coop" for a reason. Lisa Steele is a 5th generation chicken keeper, author, blogger, and TV host - just name a few things on her plump resume. While she grew up across the street from her grandparents' chicken farm and she herself had chickens, there was no real desire to do that as a career. She went to school to be an accountant and worked on Wall Street for about 7 years when one day, out of the blue, she says she just had enough. It wasn't until several years later that she got some chickens and started posting pictures of them on social media. She says she noticed she was answering the same questions about raising chickens so decided a blog would be a helpful spot for others to find information. It wasn't until a few books in that the lightbulb really went off for her and Lisa said she realized this could be a full-blown career. She explains why eggs are so expensive these days and what you should look for on the carton. Her insanely popular website and blog is where you can find all things chicken and eggs, including recipes. She came out with a cookbook last year, "Fresh Eggs Daily," which is also the name of her website and blog. Follow Lisa on social media for not only fun videos of chickens, but tips and tricks and delicious recipes. *This episode sponsored by The Culinarium : Gourmet Provisions and Fine Kitchenware.*
