Carl Fiadini

Hi, I'm Carl Fiadini, a lover of cuisines and cultures, and an equipment and gear nerd. With 30+ years in the food service industry, I've worked in fast-paced restaurants and the world of food distribution.

For 20 years, I've collaborated with Chefs in Florida and top names in produce and protein distribution. As the founder of Walk-In Talk Media, I showcase the best in the food industry via amazing content.

My proudest achievement is the Walk-In Talk Podcast. It consistently ranks #1 on Apple Podcast Charts in Food for over a year.

What sets me apart is my commitment to accessibility and the success of my team and clients. I believe everyone should explore and appreciate the world of food.

Walk-In Talk Media, especially the podcast, is for anyone passionate about food. Whether a home cook or top chef, this show offers something special. I bring remarkable industry stories and experiences to the forefront, sharing my love for food and the industry.
