David Rodrigues is the man behind @howtocookstuff, a very entertaining collection of videos and reels about authentic Portuguese food (and slang). Born in the US, his parents immigrated from Lisboa and, as he recalls in this conversation with Tony Gonçalves, his mother’s food was always simmering in the kitchen, filling it with those typical Portuguese scents.

One day he was craving a real bifana (a typical Portuguese pork sandwich cooked in broth and fat) and he made a simple video. That was the start of his cooking channel and of his global following that has spanned two cookbooks.
David Rodrigues is all about traditions and real Portuguese food (and a little chaos) and if you watch his videos you’ll be uttering sentences like “come e cala-te” in no time. A real ambassador for Portuguese flavours, David is the perfect guest for this holiday season.
With a mission to put Portuguese businesses and leaders on the global stage, Tony founded The Evrose Group to invest in, mentor, and advise Portuguese companies on growth and transformation, elevating businesses and leaders on the global stage.
In this series of insightful conversations, he brings that focus to life as he sits down with a variety of fascinating individuals who carry Portugal in their hearts and bring its spirit to life through their work, vision, and passion. From trailblazing entrepreneurs to cultural ambassadors, each guest shares their unique journey of how Portuguese identity manifests globally.
This podcast explores the rich tapestry of Portuguese culture, its impact on the world stage, and the drive that continues to produce talent and attract entrepreneurs from around the globe. Through these engaging discussions, join Tony and his guests as they reflect and connect on the values, work ethic, and cosmopolitan nature or, at times, the quiet introspection that define the Portuguese experience.
