Niecy’s Real Talk Unfiltered

Niecy sits down with Chef Chris Coleman and David Malavé to compare the frantic pace of New York kitchens with the relaxed vibe of Medellín, celebrate local food over tourist chains, and share culinary experiments like sweet plantain with peanut butter and cheese.
The conversation explores chef pride, running a restaurant, signature dishes, and the mission behind the Deconstructing Topics podcast to educate and broaden perspectives on history and culture.
We also touch on personal growth,  from learning languages and traveling to health, discipline, and finding balance between work and life.

Niecy taps in for an unfiltered conversation with two guests who know what it means to bring heat. 
Chris Coleman, Season 1 Chopped winner and celebrated chef, dishes on life after the Food Network win, what really happens behind the scenes of competitive cooking, and how he’s stayed authentic in a high-pressure industry.
David Malavé, co-host of the D-Constructing Topics Podcast, breaks down what it means to deconstruct tough conversations and why real talk matters more than ever.
No scripts. No filters. Just food, culture, truth, and the stories you don’t hear on air. 
Tap in for laughs, hard truths, and the kind of convo that sticks with you after the mic cuts off.
