I remind everyone to TIP THEIR SERVERS this holiday season for the love of god. Plus, I ask a question that’s been kicking around in my brain for a while: What Do People Want From Food Media?????

Episode 224: Holiday Party Animal
There’s a bunch of fun holiday markets and shows and other shit happening in Charleston this month! I talk about a few and manage to resurrect my holiday spirit. By the end of the episode I’m even mildly excited about December in spite of myself.
Then, I take way too long to go over all the different snacks I’ll be making on Christmas Eve and caution you against humiliating your guests by making, ridiculous, impossible-to-eat, sloppy, giant, stupid canapés.
can·a·pé
/ˈkanəˌpā,ˈkanəpē/
“a small French passed hors d’oeuvre. AKA one-biters.” (I made this definition up. but it’s accurate.)
However, if your goal is to humiliate your guests…I provide a few good examples of just how to do that. Whatever you’re into, there’s something for everyone. Bah H—appy Holidays…. 😒
Episode 223: Gratitude Not Attitude
After a tough couple of weeks, I came extremely close to cancelling Thanksgiving altogether…but a well-timed message from a dear friend in F&B brought me back to “the table”. Happy Thanksgiving to all, and here’s to doing exactly what you can and not a bit more.
Episode 222: Treats Treats Treats
I remind everyone that CREATIVE MORNINGS TICKETS go live this Monday (10/31) at 10am! I’m reminded of my own Minero Burrito hot tip, and get pumped for Nathan McClements show tonight (10/29) at Hed Hi. Can someone tell me when trick-or-treating is happening? Thanks.
Episode 221: Butter Not..
A listener asks me my thoughts on the TikTok Trend “Butter Boards” and I get into party planning mode for Thanksgiving in spite of myself…(yes, planning starts now…)
Episode 220: Neato Burrito
On this extra short but very sweet episode I share three things I’m making this weekend, talk about an EGG-cellent burrito I made and remind you to hang in there if you feel like your life’s going down the drain. PLUS, I’ll see you at Babas on Cannon for Crepes (tomorrow Saturday 10/15).
Episode 219: Is Dining Out Still Fun? (and other dumb questions.)
I’ve been talking to a lot of people who say dining out doesn’t feel worth it these days. I stumble through my thoughts on why that is and make a case for having a third (or fourth or fifth) party taste your food if you’re selling it for money.
Episode 218: What to Eat During a Hurricane
I crank out a very hurried episode to give you some ideas for what to cook/make for breakfast lunch and dinner (that won ‘t go bad or necessarily require electricity) during a hurricane! If you’re in Charleston, stay safe. ✌️ 🌀
Episode 217: Pumpkin Cheese
I talk about 3 pumpkin adjacent things I want to make this weekend…one of them being Daniel Boulud’s STUFFED CHEESE PUMPKIN. 🎃
