583: Double Dating with the Obamas with Journalist Michele Norris
It was really fun having Michele Norris in the studio. Michele is the host of the great podcast Your Mama’s Kitchen and the founder of the Race Card Project. A respected journalist, Michele cohosted National Public Radio's evening news program All Things Considered from 2002 to 2011 and was the first African-American female host for NPR. In this episode, we talk about Michele’s journalism career and what draws her to stories in the food orbit. Also on the show, we have a great talk with cookbook author and artist Erin Gleeson. Erin is behind the best-selling Forest Feast series, and she’s the author of a really cool art book: The Watercolor Feast. It’s a guide to painting fruits, vegetables, and flowers, and it leads to a great conversation about Erin’s career and why more of us should buy a set of watercolors and just paint. And, at the top of the show, it’s the return of Three Things, where Aliza and Matt talk about what is exciting them in the world of restaurants, cookbooks, and the food world as a whole. On this episode: Bayou Saint Cake, potato salad in the gumbo at Parkway in New Orleans, I Leave It Up to You is a great food novel. Also: Sinners, taste testing the hot new “protein” bars of the moment, David and Hormbles Chormbles, Big Night’s big expansion, and checking out Kung Fu Bros Dumplings on the westside of Detroit.
