Why Invite Jamie Schler as a Guest?
I’m an American who’s deeply immersed in French life and cuisine, giving me a unique vantage point: I understand both the outsider’s curiosity and the insider’s nuance. I challenge romanticized notions and idealized myths of French cuisine—not to diminish it, but to deepen our appreciation of it. I love telling the stories behind the food with humor, wit, passion, and depth—I find food history fascinating, fun, wildly unexpected, and I bring that to everything I do. I bring food history to life—one dish, one story at a time. My expertise comes from working in high-end culinary tourism in Paris and being part of a humble, traditional French family, as well as years of research, so my vision of this iconic cuisine is both rare and personal. Whether I’m writing about food or talking about it, I love to make people think, laugh, and see the everyday meal in a completely new light. I don’t just talk about what’s on the plate—I explore how it got there, and why it matters.
