It's the most mom-mentous time of the year on Hey Sis, Eat This—our third annual Mother's Day episode—and we're celebrating with the one and only Momma Ashley, our original inspiration and the real star of the show. To kick off this special weekend, Momma Ashley shares her plan for Mother's Day which includes donning her lucky green shoes with sparkly shoelaces and heading out to cheer on the Dallas Stars in the Playoff Game. Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, Courtney is experiencing her first Mother's Day as a single mom, and she's taking the opportunity to curate a day for her and her girls. Whether it's hitting up a rage room, exploring a museum, sipping on some margaritas, she's excited to plan whatever the heck she wants to do! You'll have to tune in next week to find out how she spent the day! Whitney recounts her weekend at the Lone Star Smokeout with friend-of-the-show and Storage Wars star Mary Padian, where they enjoyed delish bites from Hutchins BBQ while rocking out to some of the hottest bands in Country music. In true form, she stalked out a new guest for the show, legendary BBQ man, Matt Pittman of Meat Church who's the official pitmaster to the Dallas Cowboys. Highlights also include Momma's book club discovery of Zephyr Wright, the brilliant, overlooked chef behind some of LBJ's most legendary meals, Courtney's ongoing love affair with her Pizza Girl pizza grill, and Momma showing up to Whitney's “half-crocked” after Friday night Tex Mex.

This week on Hey Sis, Eat This, we are joined by the one and only Chef Asheesh Danee. Born in Nairobi, Chef Asheesh first fell in love with cooking in the kitchen of his vegetarian mother, where he became the taste tester when she cooked meat dishes for the family. Chef Asheesh shares with us his favorite cuisines, his cooking conundrums, and his go to date night steak dinner. His training in London, Paris, and Italy is reflected in his expertise in an array of cuisines, proving that there is nothing he can't make. Whether it's his famous vodka infused Pani Puri, inspired by the street food in India, or his signature Chicken Tikka Ravioli to simple sous vide steaks for his girlfriend, his range as a Chef is unlike anything we've seen on this show. We learn how his extraordinary skills were honed from training under Marco Pierre White and catering Rugby matches for 105,000 people to garden parties for the Queen of England, Elizabeth the Second. While he won't confirm or deny that he cooked for Princess Diana, he does spill the Earl Grey tea on being the first non military chef to work at Buckingham Palace under the world famous chef to the Queen, Robert Irvine. The fascinating Chef Asheesh who's trained all over the world and fed the cast of thousands, continues to wow his celebrity clients with his unique cuisine drawing inspiration from his travels around the globe.

This week, Courtney and Whitney welcome a sister duo who might just be their comedy soulmates—Eden and Renny Grinshpan. Eden—Top Chef Canada host, food blogger of Eden Eats, and author of her newest cookbook Tahini Baby—joins alongside her younger sister Renny, a creative director and content creator living in Tel Aviv. Together, they bring Big Sister Energy, nonstop laughs, and some truly iconic family stories. The woman behind all the fun is their beloved Momma Riva. Her lemon olive chicken was a star dish during dinner time, but the real entertainment was the sing along and dance party that Eden, Renny and their sister Arielle had each evening. From her 40 garlic clove brisket (yes, she counts them) to bringing the girls homemade cheesecake to their sleepaway camp, Momma Riva clearly shaped the sisters' love for food and family. You'll hear how Eden's culinary journey started with Toblerone shortbread cookies and a serious Food Network obsession—and how Renny (allegedly) came up with the name Tahini Baby over pizza in Italy. The sisters also break down Momma Riva's signature cocktail (straight tequila, rocks, extra lime), her best marriage advice after 50 years (spoiler: it starts with sex), and her go-to fever remedy: tea with sugar, stale bread and a cold compress.. Packed with laughs, love, and tahini, this episode is a love letter to food, family, and the glorious mess of sisterhood.

Courtney and Whitney catch up on all the chaos! Courtney opens up about her big move post-divorce, a whirlwind spring break in NYC that eventually landed her back in Momma Ashley's loving care in Dallas after testing positive for COVID (spoiler: the C doesn't stand for COVID). While Courtney was being nursed back to health in the ancient family bed with Momma Ashley's chicken and rice soup and daily queso feedings, Whitney was prepping for her first horse show with Sherrie… in the hilariously named “Rusty Stirrup” division. Whitney also recaps taking Courtney's two daughters to their first Hollywood event at the opening of future guest Caroline D'Amore's new restaurant Pizza Girl at The Ziggy Hotel in Weho where the ‘littles' stalked pizza trays and Whitney had a ‘PD' guava margarita. It's a messy, meaningful, and martini-fueled reunion that sets the tone for a season filled with sisterly love, laugh-out-loud stories, and a guest lineup that includes cookbook stars, chefs to royalty, and women shaking up the food and beverage world.

Courtney reflects on the challenges of living day to day in survival mode—coping with emotional exhaustion, helping her daughters process their anxiety, and supporting displaced friends in any way she can. From hosting displaced friends for dinner to rediscovering small moments of joy—like playing “restaurant” with her daughters—Courtney highlights how resilience and connection are keeping her grounded. Meanwhile, Whitney shares what it's like trying to help from Dallas, rallying support from her community, and recounts a hilarious story about Momma Ashley's relentless obsession with the neighborhood “wood guy” Cody.

In this bonus episode, Courtney and Whitney come together to share a deeply emotional and unfiltered account of the devastating fires sweeping through Los Angeles. Courtney takes us through her day on Tuesday, January 7th beginning with an overwhelming day of divorce mediation to learning that her neighborhood of the Pacific Palisades was engulfed in flames. She found herself grappling with survivor's guilt as her home remains standing amidst total destruction, while still having to stay strong for her two daughters. True to her nurturing spirit, Courtney extends an open invitation for friends and neighbors to stop by her temporary home for a warm meal, a supportive hug, or even a Dirty Sis Martini. Whether you need a moment to talk, cry, or share a laugh, Courtney is ready to welcome you with open arms. In the face of unfathomable chaos, the sisters discuss healing, gratitude, love, compassion, and the power of community in times of crisis. We dedicate this episode to all of those impacted by the fires and in honor of the firefighters, paramedics, EMT's, etc. who are working tirelessly to help our beloved city.

As we wrap up Season 3, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to our loyal community, the incredible guests who enriched our discussions, and above all, the Mommas who unite us each week as we reflect, reminisce, and remember all they did for us. In this season finale, we are thrilled to welcome two sisters whose life work is a direct reflection of their mother's influence in the kitchen: Sarah Fennel, founder of Broma Bakery and bestselling cookbook author, and her multi-talented sister, Rebecca, founder of Wild Fennel Florals and social media consultant. Together, share a delightful mix of hilarious, mildly inappropriate, and deeply heartfelt stories about their beloved Momma Katherine. Sarah and Rebecca, who developed a strong bond early on following their parents' divorce during their elementary school years, share how they were each other's constants as they navigated their new family dynamics. Their incredible Momma Katherine, a caretaker to all, quickly adjusted to life as a single mom, providing unwavering emotional love and support, all while teaching her daughters the importance of compassion for others. Even when finances were tight, Mama Katherine would “give the shirt off her back” to those in need—even if it meant sacrificing her own lunch budget! From bell pepper drama to the infamous "rug incident", the sisters recount laugh-out-loud memories of their childhood and teenage escapades. Momma Katherine's constant baking filled their home with the comforting aroma of fresh cookies and cakes, instilling in Sarah and Rebecca not only a love for sweets but also a passion for sharing homemade treats. This early exposure to the world of baking laid the foundation for their successful careers centered around the artistry of food. Join us for this warm and entertaining episode as they reflect on the sacrifices of their remarkable mom, who created a loving home bursting with warmth, freshly baked goodies, and resilience. This finale not only honors their journey but also pays tribute to all the moms out there who inspire us every day.

Although Moira and Dennis are 8 years apart and primarily raised in separate households, they explain how they've always shared a strong connection, punctuated by a shared sense of humor, sometimes at the expense of Momma Donna's boyfriends... As they reminisce about their upbringing, the siblings highlight how their mother instilled a culture of warmth, hospitality, and laughter during family gatherings, where everyone was welcome.. Dennis and Moira fondly recall special meals prepared by Donna, particularly her famous sausage and meatballs, which were accompanied by a theatrical ritual featuring a rare glass of red wine and Pavarotti on the record player. Dennis, however, insists that his all-time favorite treat was her chocolate chip cookies stored in oversized mayonnaise jars, a nostalgic reminder of their mom's kitchen. You don't run a successful event planning company without knowing a thing or two about table manners.

This week, we welcome dear friends and our own personal spiritual healers, siblings Brittani and Brynt, founders of Singing Heart Retreats. The youngest of four, these two were raised in a household where big laughs, creative ideas, and home-cooked meals were always on the menu, with a dash of Texas flair for good measure. We celebrate their spirited Momma Vicki who always kept it authentic when it came to her cookin' and her parenting! The siblings share how, like ours, the family expressed their love through cooking. In the words of Brittani “They did some very serious loving, cooking, and togetherness for us and with us.” So much so that when Brynt decided to become a vegetarian at an early age and Brittani, gluten free, Vicki lovingly made meals to fit all her kids dietary restrictions. Add it to the list of achievements for Momma Vicki, she was also an extremely talented seamstress running her own business in between being an unofficial “taxi driver” shuffling her children back and forth to various activities. Bur Momma Vicki didn't just drive the kids to their activities—she was often in the thick of them herself! Momma Vicki was the “sponsor/coach” of Brittani's cheerleading squad and while at practice she took notice that Brynt was not feeling the flag football she signed him up for. Being the intuitive Momma she is, she encouraged him to try dance instead, an activity that became a lifelong passion for him. Way to know your kids, Momma V! As the conversation unfolds, Vicki's authenticity shines through in the way her children recount her memorable "Mama-isms." From her signature phrases like "Lord, give me strength" to her classic assertion that certain things were "asinine," Vicki's unique perspective on life taught Brittani and Brynt the importance of honesty and humor, even in challenging situations. Rounding out this heartwarming chat, Brittani and Brynt share their passion for guiding people through yoga and energy healing work at their Singing Heart Retreats. They'll be hosting their next retreat April 10-14 ‘25 in Sedona, Arizona, titled Guided by Love, a journey designed to connect you to your true value, cultivating self love through yoga, energy healing, and community with others.

At weeknight dinners in the Luttrell household, proper manners and English were strictly enforced.

While it may seem like we've gone overboard on Halloween this year, it's all in the spirit of Whitney's favorite holiday, filled with delicious food, exciting parties, shocking costumes, and countless family Halloween stories. In this final Halloween celebration episode, we dive into more than just chili and cornbread. We also recount the Diwali celebration that Whitney, Lance, and Momma Ashley attended last weekend—a delightful break from Whitney's month-long Halloween festivities, where she still got to dress up, enjoy incredible Indian cuisine, and learn about this beautiful festival of lights with our dear friends Priya and Momma Amma from this season's Episode 3. Meanwhile, back in Los Angeles, Courtney is gearing up for her massive Halloween party, with RSVPs now exceeding 80 guests. As she reviews the evening's catered menu, Courtney considers only contributing one homemade item...cornbread. But Whitney reminds her of last year's party when dozens of her freshly baked corn muffins went untouched by the “Ozempic Chic” crowd. One thing we know will be a hit is the Skin & Bones Margarita! The sisters also revisit some of their favorite Halloween stories from past episodes, pondering whether the combination of peanut butter on white bread and taco soup is a flavor profile they've been missing. Join us as we indulge in our Halloween obsession for one last week before returning to interviews, new recipes, and, of course, praising all the mommas! Happy Halloween!!!

In this episode of "Hey Sis, Eat This," we sit down with the hilarious comedy dou, The Sklar Brothers, Jason and Randy, to discuss their journey through comedy and how their upbringing played a huge role in their success, today. Jason and Randy delve into their childhood in St. Louis, sharing how their very funny father's offbeat parenting methods not only influenced but encouraged their comedic paths. However, the true STAR of this episode is their Momma Annette, whose remarkable story includes her family's escape from the Holocaust and the heart-wrenching experience of losing a child. The brothers lovingly depict how these challenges shaped her resilience, her nurturing spirit and the immense gratitude she's always had for the life they live. The Sklar family dinner table was filled with lots of laughter and love. According to Randy and Jason, the simple act of gathering around the table is what instilled accountability and communication within their household, a tradition the brothers continue in their homes today. It wouldn't be a Hey Sis Episode if we didn't highlight Momma Annette's signature recipe. The boys favorite dish, hands down, is her Mayfair dip, an anchovy-based dressing created at the Mayfair Hotel in downtown St. Louis. It was first served in the hotel's restaurant, The Mayfair Room, the first five-star restaurant in Missouri. This tightly guarded recipe that Momma Annette has turned into a dip remains a culinary staple for every Sklar family gathering. During the rapid-fire questions segment, Momma Annette makes a surprise cameo. Not only does she refuse to answer who her favorite twin is, she also refuses to share her famous Mayfair dip recipe after we beg for it. The hilarious Sklar brothers and the adorable Momma Annette provide a heartfelt look into how her life experiences instilled in her sons not only a profound sense of gratitude but also the ability to find humor in even the toughest situations, proving that life's struggles can be a powerful source of inspiration for laughter and love.

We're back from our summer hiatus, and Season 3 of Hey Sis, Eat This is kicking off stronger than ever! To launch this exciting new season, we're joined by none other than Monique Volz—blogger, media personality, and now, cookbook author of The Ambitious Kitchen. Monique, whose middle name might as well be "Ambitious," shares the story behind her rise to success. She started Ambitious Kitchen while still in college, channeling her love for baking and recipe development as a way to cope with the loss of her father and navigate her own journey with an eating disorder. Through her blog, she was able to heal and transform her relationship with food. With her signature drive—something she credits to her stylish, feisty, and “boot-scootin'” grandmother, Nana—Monique has added “cookbook author” to her ever-growing list of achievements. Courtney and Whitney eagerly dove into an advance copy of The Ambitious Kitchen and spent a weekend testing recipes. The verdict? Monique knows exactly what she's doing in the kitchen! Monique also opens up about the biggest inspiration in her life: her incredible mother, Lynn. A single mom who juggled three jobs while ensuring her kids had home-cooked meals, Momma Lynn inspired Monique's passion for food by teaching her about ingredients, often using encyclopedias, and always experimenting with new recipes. In this episode, you'll hear how Momma Lynn continues to influence Monique's cooking today, how she shaped the new cookbook, and which recipes are Monique's personal favorites.

In the latest episode of Hey Sis, Eat This, Courtney and Whitney dive right into their Labor Day weekend adventures. While Whitney spent her time making enchilada drop-offs for friends—Courtney had a different kind of food experience at the Malibu Chili Cook Off. She shares her surprise at the carnival-like event, complete with rides and a hefty $40 entry fee. But the highlight? An unforgettable brisket chili from Stoner House Farms that left her with excited taste buds with a side of heartburn. The conversation continues with talk of Whitney's recent trip to Fort Worth, where she discovered a standout restaurant serving a variety of mole sauces—despite her usual dislike for the dish. The sisters also tease a packed week ahead, celebrating Momma Ashley's upcoming birthday in Waco. Things take a funny turn when Whitney shares a sexy dream involving The Bear star Jeremy Allen White, brisket sandwiches, and Calvin Klein ads, which leads to a hopeful discussion about their dream guest, Maddie Matheson. In honor of back-to-school season, we're celebrating the life and legacy of Marjorie Taylor, a beloved elementary school teacher and devoted mother. In this special re-release from Season 1, Courtney and Whitney sit down with Tiffany Chen, founder of Tiff's Treats, and her sister Melinda Thomas, a news producer and breast cancer thriver. The Taylor sisters fondly share memories of their mother, Marjorie, who was known for her fun spirit, adventurous heart, and no-nonsense attitude. Whether it was tackling roller coasters or planning epic road trips with creative snacks, Margie was a hands-on, dedicated mom who made sure her family was well-fed and well-loved. Sadly, Marjorie passed away earlier this year, making this episode even more poignant. Throughout her career as a teacher, she left a lasting impact on her students and touched the lives of so many, both in the classroom and at home. As the Taylor sisters reminisce about her candid sex talks, family pranks, and the love she poured into every meal, we dedicate this episode to Marjorie and her family. Her warmth, wisdom, and endless creativity will always be remembered.

Then we take it back to Season 1 with one of Whitney's BFF from childhood, Natalie Huber and her three sisters, Elizabeth, Tiffany, and Ali. The thick as thieves Huber sisters delve into their close-knit relationship shaped by their hardworking, loyal and loving mom, Lynne. A nurse with a demanding schedule, Momma Lynne instilled independence, a strong work ethic, and a reliance on family in her five children. The sisters share hilarious stories from childhood, highlighting moments of mischief and camaraderie. A self proclaimed “not the warm and fuzzy type", Lynne provided plenty of love when it came to her cooking. From her signature "Ham and Rice” dish, a family favorite by all, to her dreaded beef stroganoff, Lynne made family dinners a priority despite her busy schedule. The sisters reminisce about chaotic family road trips curated by Momma Lynne's playlists featuring songs by Carly Simon, Dion Warwick, and Olivia Newton John. From MOD (Make Own Dinner) nights to recruiting friends to share in the household chores on weekends, these siblings were savvy beyond their years. The sisters recall an infamous incident when their parents entrusted the girls to stay home alone for two weeks, resulting in a stolen sum of money and their creative attempts to raise funds before their mom's return. The essence of the Huber sisters' upbringing was filled with love, laughter, independence, and memorable escapades that contributed to their enduring closeness.

We're back with a brand new intro to one of our classic episodes! Courtney and Whitney kick things off by sharing the latest on their recent California escapades—from hosting a women's marketing panel in the serene Ojai Valley to navigating the chaos of LA life. Think chauffeuring teens to Summer camps, braving the madness of Universal Studios (seriously, never again). Once back home in Dallas, Whitney shares a hilarious story about Momma Ashley's concern for a French Olympian's 'baguette' after falling short in the poll vaulting competition. After the laughs and updates, we're diving into a fan-favorite from Season 1: Episode 40 - Sweet Corn, Slow Cooker, and the Side Queen. This one's a true gem featuring the Rasch brothers—Alex, Kyle, and Jordan—who grew up in the small town of Mascoutah, Illinois, where Sunday suppers at their family farm were legendary. Picture this: 30+ people gathered every week, rain or shine, with their blind grandmother at the helm, serving up hearty, homemade meals that are still talked about today. The brothers take us back to those simpler times, reminiscing about their mom, Cheryl (aka Momma Chi Chi), who was more about the fun than the fuss in the kitchen. Chi Chi was the queen of sides and always had a crockpot going in the camper during their lake adventures. With her signature jalapeno lights strung up, she made sure every camping trip was filled with laughter, community, and, of course, delicious food. And who could forget the Amann family cookbook, "From Our Home To Yours"? This treasured heirloom, crafted by Chi Chi and her six siblings, is filled with cherished family recipes and cocktails that have been passed down through generations. The Rasch brothers hold this cookbook dear, cooking from it regularly as a way to keep their family traditions alive. So, grab a cold Zima in honor of Momma Chi Chi, and join us for this heartfelt and hilarious trip down memory lane. Whether it's your first time listening or you're revisiting an old favorite, this episode is sure to bring a smile to your face and maybe even a tear to your eye. Cheers!

Whitney and Courtney welcome Amy Cohen Epstein, the inspiring president and executive director of the Lynne Cohen Foundation and host of the women's wellness podcast, The SEAM. Amy, who founded the organization with her siblings, shares her journey from losing her mom, Lynne, at the age of 21 to creating a nonprofit organization in her honor. The foundation is dedicated to combating ovarian and breast cancer through preventative care, education, and community, and is a true testament to Lynne's enduring spirit and love for others. Amy reminisces about the vibrant and beloved "Momma Lynnie" who was a college cheerleader, a doting mother of four and the consummate hostess with the mostess, despite the fact that cooking was not her forte. Amy claims Lynne was a bit of a local celebrity in her own community simply because everyone who knew her loved her dearly! Inspired by her incredible mother, Amy Cohen Epstein's advocacy for women's health issues has created a path for female empowerment in a world where women often don't know how to take charge of their own health. She highlights the importance of preventative care, sharing anecdotes about the foundation's work and the thousands of women they've helped over the years. Her dedication to educating and supporting women through the Lynne Cohen Foundation and "The Seam" podcast is truly commendable. This episode of "Hey, Sis, Eat This" is a beautiful tribute to Momma Lynnie and a celebration of the enduring impact one woman can have not just on her family and community but whose legacy lives on through the foundation.

Join sisters Alex and Sabrina as they bring the heat to this weeks episode of Hey Sis, Eat This. Fireworks explode as these two dynamic women dish out tales of meals, Momma, and memories from their vastly different perspectives. Alex, a powerhouse in Los Angeles real estate, and Sabrina, a trendsetting fashion influencer, both share a drive for success and independence. Where they do differ is recounting what it was like around their dinner table given their "debatable" 7 year age gap. The sisters fill us in on Momma Kathy who was an extraordinary homemaker who passed down her art of cooking and entertaining to Alex but Sabrina prefers Postmates. We learn that Kathy was the Queen of Casseroles and if you didn't know any better you would think she was a Texan from the taste of her Tamale pie. Alex and Sabrina share that Momma Kathy always taught them to be kind and inclusive. Whether times were good or bad, everything can be fixed with a Momma Kathy casserole.

Courtney and Whitney may have met their sarcastic match on this weeks episode of Hey Sis, Eat This. Kathy, host of the Women Who Sarcast Podcast and her equally hilarious sister, Chris, join us to talk about their childhood of games, pranks and favorite dishes while celebrating the also very sarcastic and mom of 6, Momma Nancy. Growing up in the small town of Ticonderoga NY, pop. 3000, Momma Nancy ran a tight ship for this family of 8. Kathy and Chris share insights into the chaos and camaraderie that defined their childhood. Nancy kept the house in running order with her “wheel of chores,” infamously large Lazy Susan that helped serve dinner and homemade board games to keep the large brood entertained. The sisters pay tribute to their mother's no-nonsense attitude, which instilled values of respect and kindness in their upbringing. When one of the siblings stepped out of line, all it took was “that look” from Momma Nancy to know she wasn't going to put up with their antics. The creative Momma Nancy, not only made homemade games, but sewed the family's clothes and reupholstered the family lazy boys multiple times. This jack-of-all-trades, big hearted momma worked tirelessly to make holidays memorable had an open door policy with all the neighbor kids. She embodied love, laughter and of course a bit of sarcasm in all that she did and we say HOORAY to Momma Nancy and Happy 90th Birthday, Lady!!

Meet Tyler and Geoff, two siblings blowing up the” you tubes” with her legal advice channel The Creators' Attorney and his food channel focusing on his Taiwanese family's recipes and vegetable farm in Ontario, CA. Tyler Chou, an attorney and content creator, shares her journey of starting her own YouTube channel after having a midlife crises and discovering a passion for representing other content creators. Geoff, Tyler's younger brother by 15 years who now runs the farm is on a mission to carry on his family's farming legacy while also preserving his mother's traditional Taiwanese recipes for future generations. They share with us the challenges of growing up Asian-American in a predominantly white community with immigrant parents who do not speak English. Spending their weekends working with their parents selling flowers at swap meets to transitioning to the demands of farming, life wasn't always easy in the Chou household. However, these siblings recall an abundance of love and food in their childhood home where Tyler introduced the phrase, “I love you” to the family and was an integral part of raising Geoff to be a well adjusted American teenager. Their parents kept the kids close and sheltered in their tight-knit Chinese community where Momma Sherry regularly entertained large groups of friends with her incredible food. Matriarch, Momma Sherry, continues to keep her family close today by cooking her famous dishes for her kids and grandkids any chance she can get using vegetables from the family farm. It's a beautiful story of one family's struggles and triumphs as they work tirelessly to preserve their beautiful and delicious heritage while adapting to a very different American way of life.
We are excited to welcome to the podcast two sisters from another mister, Jaimie and & Casey. Two Bay Area besties who were so inseparable during childhood and beyond that there is no other word to describe their relationship than straight up family. Going back and forth between two dinner tables, growing up, Casey and Jaimie experienced not only different cuisines but also how motherly love can be shown in more ways than one. When the girls were at Jaimie's house they were raised by Momma Sue, the free spirited, tell me your feelings kind of mom, who made organic food and loved to know everything going on in the girls lives. Casey's Grandma Betty took her in after her mom passed away when she was 7.Grandma Betty was from an older generation and showed love in a more stoic way. While she wasn't the warm and fuzzy type, this hard working school lunch lady provided for Casey the best she knew how and it was the unspoken gestures the girls reveal in this interview that show the deep commitment Betty had to raising Casey. There is no shortage of dinner table stories with these two who fondly look back on Momma Sue's delicious salads and organic offerings to Grandma Betty's leftover enchiladas from the school's cafeteria. Junior high and high school did not go without challenges for these besties who had their fair share of teenage idiot tales that involve taser guns and hair dye. The love and bond is deep between these two and their support for one another, unyielding. As Casey became more of a fixture in Jaimie's household, Momma Sue had no issue disciplining Casey and making sure she stayed on track when things got tough for her in high school. The always supportive Momma Sue continued to be there for Jaimie when she came out after college and continues to be her biggest supporter and a champion of Jaimie's mission to bring awareness to LGBTQ+ families everywhere on her award winning podcast, The Queer Family Podcast. You won't want to miss this special episode as we laugh, cry and continue to celebrate all the kinds of Mommas out there providing love, support and guidance whether they birthed them or not.
Hey Y'all! Welcome back to Season 2 of the Hey Sis, Eat This Podcast! After a much needed 2 and half month hiatus, we are thrilled to start our second season with non other than the “STAR” of the show, Momma Ashley and her sister, our beloved Aunt Martha. We kick off the first episode with Courtney, Whitney and Momma Ashley catching up about their time off from podcasting, sharing recipes, refrigerator organizing tips and new martini olive ideas. Courtney then feels the need to share her recent near death experience after sliding through her dog's diarrhea in the middle of the night and even has a video to share of the harrowing yet hilarious incident. Next we are joined by Aunt Martha. Momma Ashley and “Aunt Marta” reminisce about their family and the love of cooking and entertaining that runs deep through multiple generations of women in their family. We begin with stories about their maternal grandmother, Gram, who was known for constantly throwing parties and hosting elaborate dinners. She was a founding member of the Silly Tillies dinner club, a group of friends who would rotate hosting dinner parties their entire adult life which lasted until the members were too old to continue. After Whitney's failed attempt to revive the Silly Tillies in LA, she is determined to bring it back to life and continue the legacy with her new circle of friends in Dallas. Possessing less of a passion for entertaining but a wonderful cook in her own right was Martha May, Courtney and Whitney's grandmother whom they lovingly called Ahmay. According to Aunt Martha, Ahmay was a self taught naturalist who had a passion for gardening and an insatiable desire to learn and teach others. Court & Whit hear first hand from their own mother and aunt what it was like around their childhood dinner table where good manners were strictly enforced but Billy the Parakeet was known to make the occasional appearance walking through the mashed potatoes. Then, after years of feeling like she can never live up to Momma Ashley's holiday expectations, Courtney confronts both her mom and aunt on the pressure she feels to recreate the “magical” Christmas they experienced as children in the 50's. Questions are answered and blame is placed all while deciding that July might be a better time to celebrate “the most wonderful time of the year!” In true Hey Sis fashion, we're starting Season 2 with lots of love and laughter in this multi generational episode of family tales and favorite meals. Whether it's blue cheese, feta stuffed or just plain old green olives, pour that martini, shake it hard, make it dirty and say cheers to a new season of the Hey Sis, Eat This Podcast! Love You, Love Your Show!
We are ending our first season of Hey Sis, Eat This on the most delicious note! A spectacular interview with one of our long-time idols, James Beard Award-winning Chef, Nancy Silverton and her magical sister, Gail Silverton. Only one and half years apart to the day, these extremely close sisters open up about their incredible mother, Momma Doris, who was a genuine powerhouse of a woman. When most mothers of her generation were expected to stay home cleaning and cooking, Doris Silverton was shattering the glass ceiling as a successful female television writer in Hollywood. Alongside of her career, Doris was a remarkable wife, supportive mother, and one who never skipped on setting a proper dinner table! While Nancy wasn't a huge admirer of Momma Doris's cooking, she admits that the family dinner table, which she still owns, was a very big part of her childhood. As far as Momma Doris' culinary style was concerned, the sisters describe it as eclectic and ahead of her time. Beef bourguignon, chili Colorado, spanakopita and Caesar salad were in the regular rotation. Gail loved her mother's brisket and Paprika chicken, two dishes she continues to make today, while Nancy preferred to take matters into her own hands with fried bologna and “whim” outings to Denny's whenever on a family road trip. With only a year and a half apart, these sisters were always close. So close, that they often shared friends and we even discover they dated some of the same guys! Yes... that is plural! Except for Nancy's one run in with the law and Gail “experimenting', the Silverton sisters were pretty well behaved in adolescence. Momma Doris was not one to discipline, instead she empowered them by creating a safe space to live and learn from their mistakes. Her democratic parenting style empowered them to be independent, responsible women who never had to second guess themselves in their professional careers. Doris, who passed away in 2001, left a beautiful legacy with her two extraordinary daughters. An inspiration to each of them, Nancy and Gail have made indelible contributions to the Los Angeles community through food and education. With all that these sisters have accomplished professionally, philanthropically and as mothers, Momma Doris would be so proud! Nancy's New York Times Bestselling cookbook, “The Cookie That Changed My Life” is available wherever books are sold. You can find the recipe for Peanut Butter cookie that changed her life on our website! Enjoy this season finale, but please keep your elbows off the table. Look for our next episode in 2024 as we kick off Season 2 of Hey Sis, Eat This!
We are thrilled to welcome the talented, creative and wildly artistic chef, Shane Fatemian AKA Chef Shane, to the podcast! Shane became an instagram sensation when he started posting his over the top spreads from his private chef events in Los Angeles. His artistic eye and his passion for amazing tasting food has catapulted his career to one of the most sought after private chefs in LA. Born in Iran, Shane's family escaped to Southern California for a few short years in his youth, only to return to Iran during the revolution. When Shane was 15 and wanted to fight for his country, his parents feared for his life and had him smuggled out of Iran for his own protection. Several years and four countries later, Shane ended up back in Southern California working his way through restaurants, owning his own and eventually landing at Soho House where he's created menus for the clubs many locations around the world. Never forgetting the flavors, freshness and bountiful spreads from his youth in Iran, Persian influence is reflected in so much of Shane's cooking today. However one might say the special sauce to Shane's food is his mindfulness and positive energy he feels while cooking. Inspired by his grandmother who he recalls as a “happy cook,” Chef Shane insists that approaching the ingredients with happy thoughts will make the food taste incredible. From childhood memories of extravagant neighborhood block parties in Iran to his very simple favorite dish of tomatoes and bread, we learn what inspires Chef Shane to create the stunningly visual and delicious food that he prepares with so much love, today.

We are back at it again, taking a trip down memory lane with two sisters from our childhood, Haley and Annabelle Wine. These two much younger siblings were always around during our holidays, graduations, proms and countless meals in between. Their Mother, Momma Kathy was BFF's with Momma Ashley and we learn that Momma Ashley was a mentor mom to Kathy teaching her Jedi mom skills such as how to detect if your child has been drinking. Haley and Annabelle have fond memories of the Ashley sisters and admit that they idolized us when they were little. Whitney, who babysat these girls practically every weekend during her middle school years, has a vivid memory of Momma Kathy's babysitting binder filled with numbers and protocols in case of emergency. Haley and Annabelle's memories, however, are of "Whitney being the coolest," riding around in her black Jeep and going to the tanning salon. Thank goodness these girls had the fabulous Momma Kathy to keep them on the right track. Haley and Annabelle lovingly describe Momma Kathy as an incredible mother who knows her way around the kitchen, getting many of her beloved recipes from her mother in law, Momma Dot. Kathy had dinner on the table every night when the girls were growing up and now that the sisters are older, she hosts both girls families every Sunday night. Kathy was the kind of mom that welcomed the girls friends into their home with open arms and no judgment. She was always volunteering at the school, never missed a game, and continues to show up for all of it, once again, as a doting grandmother. So put your buns in the bathroom and fill your Ozarka bottle with vodka because you're about to learn a lot about these delicious fine Wines!
On this Thanksgiving we are so thankful and honored to have the opportunity to sit down with this kind soul of a woman who has one of the biggest hearts of anyone we know. Wendy Holsapple is true Dallas royalty and joins us today to talk about her incredibly interesting mother and father, her equestrian background and her career as the queen of the King's X, a famous watering hole in North Dallas that's been around since 1977. Wendy opens up about her charmed childhood growing up in Dallas, riding horses in her front yard and having a momma who was a New York Rockette. Wendy recalls her mother, Faye Ola as a great cook, growing up on homemade spaghetti and meatballs and chicken and dumplings. Momma Faye was an entertainer at heart. Whether it was doing Rockette style high kicks around the house to get a laugh out of her kids or throwing a dinner party on the roof of her house to do something different, she loved for everyone around her to have a good time. Just like her warm and kind mother, Wendy is always there to lend a listening ear to her customers at the King's X, spreading genuine love to everyone who comes to know her. She goes on to spill all the tea on the infamous bar from the most rewarding and hardest part of the job to the craziest thing she's ever witnessed at the bar which happens to include Whitney! Wendy's true passion is her art, Wire Wonders by Wendy using rocks, vessels, glass, beads and even horseshoes. We are so blessed to know Wendy and to have her as a friend. She is one special lady!
This week the sisters are joined by one of Whitney's BFF from childhood, Natalie Huber and her three sisters, Elizabeth, Tiffany, and Ali. The thick as thieves Huber sisters delve into their close-knit relationship shaped by their hardworking, loyal and loving mom, Lynn. A nurse with a demanding schedule, Momma Lynn instilled independence, a strong work ethic, and a reliance on family in her five children. The sisters share hilarious stories from childhood, highlighting moments of mischief and camaraderie. A self proclaimed “not the warm and fuzzy type", Lynn provided plenty of love when it came to her cooking. From her signature "Ham and Rice” dish, a family favorite by all, to her dreaded beef stroganoff, Lynn made family dinners a priority despite her busy schedule. The sisters reminisce about chaotic family road trips curated by Momma Lynn's playlists featuring songs by Carly Simon, Dion Warwick, and Olivia Newton John. From MOD (Make Own Dinner) nights to recruiting friends to share in the household chores on weekends, these siblings were savvy beyond their years. The sisters recall an infamous incident when their parents entrusted the girls to stay home alone for two weeks, resulting in a stolen sum of money and their creative attempts to raise funds before their mom's return. The essence of the Huber sisters' upbringing was filled with love, laughter, independence, and memorable escapades that contributed to their enduring closeness.
