The Splendid Table - A Wonderful Food Show On NPR
Lynne Rossetto Kasper, a very knowledgeable food expert, hosts the show.
If you love food, then you'll love the weekly one hour show broadcasted on National Public Radio called, "The Splendid Table." You'll have to check with your local NPR station to find out the time for the time in your local area as it varies from place to place. Lynne Rossetto Kasper, a very knowledgeable food expert, hosts the show. Each week there is a theme and she interviews a guest for about 30 minutes. The rest of the show includes special recurring segments 15-20 minutes for listeners to call in with questions about anything food related.
One of my favorite segments is a short interview with a husband wife team that travel around the country eating in various diners, restaurants, and roadside food stands. They review one or two a week and the descriptions they provide are fascinating because it also includes some commentary on the local culture. Occasionally, Lynne will also interview someone writing a fascinating food blog online. One week she interviewed someone who was creating really unique dishes out of Jell-O!
