A show about having people over — sometimes, a LOT of people over — and how to feed them all, generously, without losing your mind, hiring help, or breaking the bank.
We'll call it an audible potluck, with tales of Pennsylvania Dutch country family reunions and our favorite theme song-writing Minnesota musician Jeremy Messersmith talking about hosting communal food parties built to pair with his performances.
We're joined by the one and only Chef David Kinch, who Amy describes as one of the greatest chefs of his generation. Manresa, his restaurant in Los Gatos, California, had three Michelin stars — the most it's even possible to get.
Despite Amy's connections to the food world, she met David in an unlikely, small world kind of way: through her Park Rapids area friends Bill Dinger and his wife Suzanne. David is Bill's cousin, and the two join Ham Radio this week to talk about their own family parties.
We heard from Megan in Meadowlands who kept the pig roast and Czech family traditions of kolache going in a community celebration. We heard from Dan in the U.P. of Michigan who makes porketta before hockey practice and Tammy told us about trying last week's Bran Crispbread recipe.
This week's community recipe to cook along with us is Rum-and-Coke Shaved Ice. Give it a try and send us your reactions and photos at comments@kaxe.org!
