Ashley Christensen’s Pride of Place

Biscuits & Jam

Ashley Christensen is a two-time James Beard Award winning chef, restaurateur, and cookbook author from Raleigh, North Carolina, who has a way of taking classic Southern dishes and making them the talk of the food world. She grew up with parents who loved to cook, entertain, and play music in the kitchen, and Ashley has channeled that spirit of hospitality into her restaurants like Poole's Diner and Death & Taxes. At home, she and her wife, Kaitlyn Goalen, love to cook together too, and they’ve also authored two cookbooks, including 2021’s It’s Always Freezer Season. Sid also talks to Ashley about her infatuation with grilling, her dalliance with a music career, and how she sees diners and restaurants as places for people to put aside their differences.
