On this week's edition of Culinary Confidential, Christina Cates welcomes in Dillon Baxter, Dominic Russo, and Jodi Moreno.

Baxter is the CEO of PlantSwitch, a biodegradable plastics company specializing in turning agricultural waste into compostable plastic alternatives. He was featured in Forbes' 30 Under 30, and is changing the game in sustainability.

Russo is the owner and mastermind of Squares and Fare, the Jersey Shore's #2-rated pizzeria this summer. Originally getting its start as an underground pop-up, Squares and Fare has since garnered rave reviews, offering a variety of pizzas with fresh ingredients from Italy and local gardens.\

Moreno is a James Beard-nominated cookbook author. Her new book, Simple Pleasures, is full of craveable comfort food with a twist - think Salsa Macha Fried-Egg Tacos and Date Cake with Tahini Ice Cream!

Sustainability, Style, and Spice. This week's lineup has it all!
