The Splendid Table: Conversations & Recipes For Curious Cooks & Eaters

We’re dropping a bonus episode in our feed this week from our Sister Podcast, The One Recipe. Join Host, Jesse Sparks, for an episode all about fun, food, and family summer celebrations. First, we raise a glass to summer with the bar consultant and author Natasha David and talk about some of her favorite summer traditions and low-alcohol cocktails to keep in your back pocket, like her No Bad Days punch and Adult Supervision. Her latest book is called Drink Lightly. Esteban Castillo, the author of Chicano Eats, talks about the asadas he throws down with his family and the must-have dishes at the cookout, like his Michelada ribs. Then we head to Houston to talk with the city’s newest food columnist Bao Ong about ideas for summer party take-out and we spend some time on the patio with Houston chef and restaurant owner Chris Williams and talk about the food and family tradition that inspires his restaurant, the Houston classic Lucille’s.
