This week, host Brandi Fullwood talks to Aaron Tekulve, the chef and owner of Surrell in Madison Valley. They get into what it's like to be a James Beard finalist (apparently it means a lot more microgreens at your door) and where he goes to eat on his day off. Hint: kid friendly, by the water, and there are plenty of cheesy chips.

How to order at this go-to spot:
Basket of chips, crispy, light, and just the right amount of salt
Not-so-spicy salsa
Queso with bacon and grilled green peppers
Fried Prawn with a mango mojo
Optional but highly encouraged: the best flan and margaritas
