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 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.
