Foodie & The Beast from Home: February 14, 2021

Radio & Podcast
How lovely was it that Sunday’s Foodie & The Beast landed on Valentine’s Day? Per usual, David and Nycci gathered a delightful crew to spread delicious antidotes and offer up some heartfelt gift ideas:  
  • As on every show, Deb Moser of Central Farm Markets talked what’s at market including new vendors.
  • Chef Jonathan Bardzik is a storyteller, cook and author. A regular at Central Farm Market’s demo stage and launching a new television series soon.
  • Chef Eric Adjepong, a finalist on season 16 of Bravo's Top Chef and a contestant on season 17 of Top Chef All Stars, recently announced his first cookbook and a children's book, both telling stories of the African Diaspora through food & history. Literally, a terrific conversation. 
  • Many a Valentine wants to makeover his or her culinary kingdom, inside or outdoors. So we invited Jessica Petrino to join us – She has an unusual career, specializing in appliance industry education initiatives for the AJ Madison Learning Center. Nycci got all drool-y learning about the latest in kitchen appliances and technology.
  • Andre McCain, founder and CEO of HalfSmoke, has launched a variety of pop-ups and outdoor experiences as ways to survive and thrive during the pandemic.
So much to learn, so much to eat, so much to drink, and so many kitchen appliances and outdoor pizza ovens to invest in. All that and more — click here to listen in.
