Award-winning disability consultant and potato-chip enthusiast Andrew Gurza joins Elle for her most raucous interview yet. It’s an action-packed episode, touching on their dreams of disability-centered cooking shows, the tensions of caregiving and care-receiving, the ableism of queer spaces, and that time Andrew was carried up the stairs by a really hot muscled bouncer.
