“You have to think of ways that are creative and outside the box in order to grab people's attention.” Andrea Nicholson Growing a successful career takes hard work. This is true even when granted with opportunities that have potential to propel us to greater heights, such as media exposure. Our guest today Andrea Nicholson, was thrust into the limelight early on in her career, and says that it takes hard work to become the best, the media only amplifies who you really are.   Since the early age of thirteen, Andrea has been consumed by the art of food. She is a creator, teacher and connoisseur. Andrea is a Red Seal certified chef who received her culinary training at George Brown College in Toronto. Her professional experience includes positions in respected Toronto restaurants and culinary institutes such as Luce, Via Allegro, The Fifth, Humber College, George Brown College, 35 Elm, Trattoria Nervosa, and Partner/Culinary Director of Great Cooks, as well as traveling the culinary globe and working with internationally acclaimed chefs and the world renowned 6 star luxury liner Regent Seven Seas. Andrea also trained in New York City under Roberto Caporuscio and holds a diploma from the A.P.N. of Naples, Italy, distinguishing her as a certified Pizzaiuoli. Andrea's passion for food is evident in her masterful creations, which celebrate the purity of local and seasonal ingredients. Supporting sustainability, Canadian farmers, purveyors and Ocean Wise is the central tenet of her cuisine. Through this love of local and seasonal produce, Andrea created her own artisan product line called Killer Condiments which is available across Canada. Andrea's Food Network stardom originated when she appeared as a contestant on Season 1 of Top Chef Canada. She has been a host on The Marilyn Denis Show, Restaurant Takeover and is currently a judge on Food Network's and Cooking Channels Fire Masters. Andrea currently owns the wildly popular Butchie's Restaurant. She is also the owner of the product line Killer Condiments and a great mama to Elliott. In today's episode, Andrea talks to us about her journey to becoming one of the most prominent and recognized chef not only in Canada, but around the world as well. Listen in!

I started off as a young, aspiring chef and food was always at the forefront of my life, and I credit a lot of my passion for food to my grandmother, my dad and my mom. I got my first kitchen job when I was 13, worked at the best restaurants in Toronto moving and learning as much as I could. I went to culinary school and at 19, I went to work on the cruise ship, because there was nothing left in Toronto to offer. I came back to Toronto and I started running a couple kitchens. I applied for Top Chef and became a contestant on the first season of Top Chef Canada, which was a interesting experience and a stepping stone that opened up so many different possibilities. I later had my son and became jobless, but focused on and expanded my condiments business. I then went to host Restaurant Takeover, which was amazing, because it brought me back into the restaurant world again. I had set a goal for myself that by the time I was 30, I would own my own restaurant independent of any partners or angel investors. I went back and did Top Chef All Stars and I came in fourth position, which again opened up so many doors for me. Now I'm judge on Fire Masters , which is such an amazing show. For someone who owns a barbecue and restaurants, being a judge on a barbecue show, has really helped out a lot. Commercial break A big takeaway from doing Restaurant Takeover was that I ended up opening up Butchies which is a Meat + Three restaurant. Kitchens are a place where you want to have to be there, otherwise you will produce crappy food with no love. In my restaurant, I tried my best to have people who love what they do and who want to see growth, and this has really helped to keep the turnover low. We have an inclusive and diverse workforce that is 96% female, because I enjoy surrounding myself with women due to our abilities. Often times I struggle with questions of how to stay relevant and to how to keep going, and I find that it is all about networking. It is important to find the right people and being proactive to reach them, as well as understanding that in order to make money, you have to invest in yourself and believe in your abilities. You have to think of ways that are creative and outside the box to grab people's attention. ………………………………………………… Thank you to our March Sponsor!

By redesigning the process for handling animals in meatpacking plants and slaughterhouses, she’s probably eased the suffering of more animals than any person in history. Elizabeth Andoh, who has appeared on HRN eight times over the last four years, is the author of six books on Japanese cooking, including two IACP award-winners, An Ocean of Flavor and Washoku.

We've got stories about black rice, cutting carbs, the intersection of roast duck and government policy, and human milk.

We’re back! To start our fourth season, we're celebrating HRN’s 10th birthday with a very special episode about HRN's home, Brooklyn. Not only is it the birthplace of food radio, but it's also home to some buzzy neighborhood pollinators and the urban farmers who care for them. We have an interview with Eric Adams, Brooklyn's Borough President, who shares his transformative health journey. Our neighborhood of Bushwick has changed a lot over the past decade, from its culinary renaissance to the complicated implications of gentrification, and we take a look at how businesses have shaped – and continue to shape – our community. Finally, we have a look towards 2020, as we consider how challenging, yet crucial, the census count will be in Bushwick.

With summer on the horizon, we’re revisiting one of our all-time favorite stories! Harry Rosenblum, host of Feast Yr Ears shares the history of lemonade stands and enlists his daughter, Moxie, to provide some invaluable operational advice. Plus, HRN board member and resident accountant JoAnn “Flash” Fleming has financial tips for all you lemonade entrepreneurs. Why are we rerunning this story now? Believe it or not, running a lemonade stand in New York without a permit is a fineable offense. Last year, the health department shut down a 7-year-old’s roadside operation for failing to pony up the $30 for a year-long permit. This caught the attention of state senator Jim Tedesco, who is now sponsoring a bill dubbed “Brendan’s Lemon-Aid Law” – named after the boy whose stand was shut down. Last week, the bill was passed by the Senate Health Committee with bipartisan support. It now awaits further committee review in both the state Senate and Assembly before heading to Governor Cuomo’s desk for his signature. If passed, the law would take effect immediately and exempt kids 16 and under from paying a $30 yearlong permit fee to run a lemonade stand. Meat + Three is powered by Simplecast.

Beer before wine, you’ll be fine? Prevailing wisdom says you can avoid a hangover by consuming drinks in the correct order, but does it hold true? This week on Meat + Three, we’re exploring the interactions that happen within our bodies, on our plates, between cultures, and in laboratories. While some interactions mean a hellish hangover, others bring us delightful recipes or medical innovations. We speak with scientists about the unexpected results on a mixed drink, get advice from all over the world on how to avoid a hangover, learn the secrets of Roberta’s delicious pizza dough, and celebrate the culinary convergence of Texas and India.

Next month, the James Beard Foundation will announce a new batch of restaurant and chef winners in Chicago. With the "Oscars of Food" approaching, we wanted to explore the world of food awards. While the upsides of winning are apparent, there are downsides, too. Chef Steven Satterfield of Miller Union describes some of the unrealistic expectations that diners developed after he won the award for Best Chef Southeast. Matt and Ted Lee sit down with Harry Rosenblum to discuss a category that's oddly missing from the James Beard Foundation's radar: catering. Then, Kat Johnson takes a look at why anonymity for critics, judges, and Michelin inspectors matters (or doesn't) with help from Josh Plunkett, a veteran of several Michelin starred restaurants. Finally, Pauline Munch and Lisa Held explain the complicated legacy of Nobel Prize winner Norman Borlaug, whose work to solve hunger inspired a hip hop homage.

Milk. Ramen. Cider. Tiki. This week, we have four stories about the history, controversy, and sentimentality behind names – those words we say often, but rarely stop to fully consider. Our exploration into the language of food includes debates between lawyers, interviews with historians, and chats with our favorite bartenders. Who gets to assign meaning to the names our favorite dishes and drinks? Should plant-based beverages be called milk? Is ramen quintessentially Japanese? Who gets to decide what ciders can be labeled "dry?" And why can't tiki bars have white walls and windows? After this episode, you'll never think of these foods the same way!

In the midst of the endless 24-hour news cycle, it can sometimes feel like all we care about is what's new. This week on Meat + Three, we bring you stories about what's old. We're diving into the lost and found bin to bring you stories of the rescuers rescuing and reviving food and drink from (almost) lost to history. We begin with The Recipe Hunters, a globetrotting duo that finds and shares stories about traditional foods. Then we hear a story from "The Flavor Saver," Dr. David Shields, who uses Facebook to track down a lost variety of corn. We take you to a unique library that preserves sourdough starters from more than a century ago, and we feature an interview from Beer Sessions Radio, where host Jimmy Carbone talked with a team salvaging brewing yeast from an 1886 shipwreck.

Perhaps it’s a tired cliche to assert that we live in a competitive world: it’s dog eat dog out there, right? Tired, perhaps, but tough to deny. Some compete for fun; others compete because they must to survive. In this week’s episode of Meat + Three, we bring you stories about the effects competition has on food and agriculture. We start with the science behind one of most quintessentially American spectacles: speed eating. Then, we go back about 70 years to a chicken raising contest that helped give us the fat broiler birds we eat so many of today. We’ll also showcase a trio of Indian restaurants in New York’s East Village that try to outdo each other with distinctive lighting. And finally, we wrap up by looking at how a surprising introduction to a farming video game is getting some fans “hyped.” This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York State Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council.

Newark, New Jersey is more than meets the eye. There's an under-the-radar food movement going on "The Gateway City," and we ventured across the Hudson River to check it out! We start at Philip's Academy Charter School to see how Ecospaces Education is transforming the way students eat and incorporating food into curriculum. Then, we head to the Ironbound neighborhood to taste the historically-charged spirits of All Points West Distillery and some of the finest presunto ibérico at Caseiro E Bom. The grand finale of our Newark tour is tour of AeroFarms, the world's largest vertical indoor farm. We bring you inside to hear how they use aeroponics to grow local leafy greens year-round with 390 times more productivity and 95% less water than field farming.

These days, it's hard to avoid thinking about borders; discussions about the divided spread through our feeds like melting butter on warm toast. So this week, we're taking a look at the boundaries criss-crossing the gastro-verse and the people testing their limits. On Food Without Borders, Sari Kamin shines a light on refugees using cookbooks to fight immigration hostilities. Amazon's still in the news thanks to Elizabeth Warren's proposal to roll back its merger with Whole Foods. Nina Medvinskaya gets in touch with her Slavic roots with an exploration into Eastern Europe's complex hybrid-cuisines. Finally, in anticipation of spring, Kat Johnson takes us on a trip to Flora-Bama's interstate fish-tossing competition. Meat + Three is powered by Simplecast.

This week on Meat + Three we’re bringing you an interview with an HRN Hall of Fame standout featured on HRN’s special series Evolutionaries. Jamie Oliver is a chef, restaurateur, cookbook author, and TV host. In the late 90s, he was a young restaurant cook who happened into his own show “The Naked Chef” where he cooked to his credo: “It’s got to be simple. It’s got to be tasty. It’s got to be fun”.

In honor of Black History Month, we recognize the difficult past and celebrate the undeniable impact of African American farmers on past, present, and future foodways. It’s impossible to distill the entire meaning of Black History in America down to 20 minutes, so we chose to focus on the profound ways that farming can connect history and culture to environment and food. We begin with two HRN Hall of Fame Honorees, Carla Hall and Leah Penniman, who share stories of struggling to balance the complex history of Soul Food and Farming While Black, while simultaneously using their platforms to improve access to fair, healthy food – especially for African American communities in the US. We also turn our spotlight on the Southeastern African American Organic Network and Harlem Grown, two organizations keeping the culture of Black farming alive.

Whether Valentine’s Day is your favorite winter holiday or you avoid it like the plague, there’s no debating it’s a big day for the world of food and hospitality. This week we’re bringing you the inside scoop on what the holiday means for the industry. We visit a dessert bar trying to avoid the clichés of champagne and chocolate and investigate how the holiday’s hues are affecting rosé sales. We get to the bottom of a rumor about diamonds (but not the ones you're thinking of), and explore the benefits of peanut punch, a Caribbean aphrodisiac.

The Polar Vortex has subsided, but despite warmer temperatures, it’s still the dead of winter. This week, we take you through dormant grapevines in a California vineyard and consider the benefits of taking a mindful break from alcohol at the start of the year. Then, we expose the cold dangers facing delivery workers braving brutal weather to bring hot meals to New Yorkers. Finally, we marvel at an unlikely luxury product and winter's most anticipated guest: ice. Meat + Three is powered by Simplecast.

One month down, eleven to go! Statistically, you’ve probably broken your resolution by now, so what better time to investigate why those new year diets never stick? This week, we bring you stories of how food is set to change in 2019. Eater’s Ryan Sutton shares his restaurant trends predictions (hint: a focus on regional Chinese cuisines). If you live in New York City, expect to see a change in street meat containers this year. The city has banned styrofoam! It’s great news for the environment, yet a costly transition for vendors. Finally, 2019 is bringing technological advances that could (literally) change the flavors of our food. We hear from scientists working to develop a spicy tomato using gene editing (also known as Crispr). It's not too late to make a new year resolution!

It is the 28th day of the longest government shutdown in history. 800,000 federal employees have gone without pay and as bills begin to pile up, putting food on the table feels a lot more important than partisan impasse. At HRN, we discovered that the shutdown has impacted our food system in some unexpected ways. Routine inspections on produce and processed foods have been suspended and DC restaurants are struggling without the typical lunch crowds. Between furloughs, farms, and food stamps, we explore the ways politics have affected what’s on our plates. Catch a special guest appearance by Jamie Oliver. Meat + Three is powered by Simplecast.

On the season two finale of Meat + Three, we bring you the story of a major national food tech company that turned the lives of over five hundred people upside down. This October, the venture-capital funded food incubator, Pilotworks, abruptly shuttered, putting nearly 500 people’s livelihoods in jeopardy. This closure jeopardized the livelihood of over one hundred and seventy five businesses. We decided to devote our full season finale to the crisis, and our team followed the story for over two months. What happened to the entrepreneurs who are affected by the shutdown? Did their businesses survive? How did the community mobilize and what does this cautionary tale mean for the future of food entrepreneurship? Click here to read a transcript of this episode.

Today’s episode probes the gastronomically risky and cozies up to danger. As the veneer of safety is dismissed, dicey aspects of the culinary are revealed. Whether it's toxic meals, politics in the kitchen, or environmentally devastating husbandry—one thing is clear: food is no simple matter when caution is breached. Nina Medvinskaya visits a Michelin-starred restaurant to investigate why people risk their lives for a taste of fish: it's all about the blowfish at Suzuki. Kevin Wheeler talks to an undocumented restaurant owner to examine what it's like to work in hospitality while battling political hostility. Dylan Heuer challenges the ethos of livestock production by honing in on its environmentally devastating effects. And Ariama Long reminds us of the value in preserving our food heritage lest we forget our culture. Meat + Three is powered by Simplecast. Photo via Dave Ginsberg.

Today’s episode delves into rules and restaurants. Anyone who works in a restaurant will tell you, success depends on following a strict code of conduct. Sometimes the rules are clearly written down. Sometimes they’re unspoken. But the underlying goal is usually the same... to avoid chaos, ensure food safety, and guarantee customers’ satisfaction. Hannah Fordin takes a look at the people who cause fear when they step into a NYC restaurant---the health inspectors responsible for enforcing the rules of food safety. Nina Medvinskaya visits a small midtown eatery to learn more about the importance of determining whether food is kosher. Dylan Heuer investigates why a potential new legal ruling is causing controversy in the restaurant industry and beyond. Finally, we share the answer to a food rule we get asked about all the time at HRN. When is it safe to eat oysters? Meat + Three is powered by Simplecast.

Who can resist a holiday that promotes eating multiple types of pie in a single meal? This week, we're exploring the unexpected sides of Thanksgiving. From culinary historians to turducken enthusiasts, people have a lot of feelings about this holiday. We start by hearing from some food magazine editors, who are well-versed Thanksgiving trends. They start planning for November issues (typically the most read) as early as March each year. Then, Kevin Wheeler speaks to Perry Ground, a member of Haudenosonee tribe and an expert on early Thanksgiving traditions. Hint: turkey was not on the table! So, where did we get our modern traditions? Host of A Taste of the Past and resident HRN culinary historian, Linda Pelaccio, explains how the technological revolution of the mid to late 1800s created the popular Thanksgiving dishes of today. And lastly, Ariama Long explores the wild world of turduckens – one of the newest and most unusual Thanksgiving traditions. Meat + Three is powered by Simplecast.

Our Moderator Emily gives hard-hitting stories of food in the news to our panelists and they discuss their attitudes and opinions in our Weekly Baste Segment. This week we discuss turkey, street food vendors, holiday galas and fundraising. Our guest for The Weekly Grill is Caity Moseman Wadler, Executive Director of Heritage Radio Network. Caity holds an M.A. in Food Studies from New York University and a B.A. in Molecular Biology/Biochemistry from Middlebury College. Prior to her graduate studies, Caity worked at a biotech startup where she engineered yeast to discover new antibody drugs and took a whirlwind trip around the world before settling in New York City. Caity came to HRN back in 2015 through the Julia Child Foundation Food Writing Fellowship and later joined the team full-time as Deputy Director. She is also the co-host of two Heritage Radio Network shows: HRN Happy Hour and Meat + Three a zesty, 15-minute weekly update on food stories and commentary modeled after the Southern meat-and-three-sides concept: a deep dive and three shorts.

Today’s show is about labels – a surprisingly controversial topic. In our reporting this week, we discovered that people have a lot strong feelings about labels and the meanings that are assigned to them. But if you take a step back, you’ll see that these stories are also about trust. How do we know if labels are accurate – or even necessary? From food and drink to politics and culture – labels are everywhere and navigating them is an ongoing challenge. Love Meat + Three?

We’d like to talk to you about food waste. Up to 40% of food in the United States is wasted. That’s about 400 pounds of food per person every year. But who can really fix the problem? Does the responsibility of reducing food waste lie with farmers, restaurateurs… or with us consumers? We look at how one foreign government figured out a way to get individual citizens to get actively involved in solving the crisis. Our other stories this week investigate the waste created by American's obsession with greek yogurt, New York City food establishments’ role in cutting down on food waste, and most simply: why is food waste such a big problem? We also bring you a developing story out of Brooklyn: the recent and sudden closure of Pilotworks. 175 local food businesses were left stranded after the venture-capital backed food incubator and production kitchen ceased operations with less than 24 hours warning.

Almost a month ago, Hurricane Florence wreaked havoc on the Carolinas. She displaced thousands of residents and caused billions of dollars in damages. Just this week, Hurricane Michael ravaged a section of Florida's panhandle that has already faced decades of hardship, due to climate change, disappearing industry, and the BP oil spill. Apalachicola, one of the small, historic fishing towns that received a direct hit, is home to a shrinking oyster industry. Michael could be one of the final blows to that economy. Sadly, hurricane season has become a cycle of damage and repair that we're becoming all too familiar with. We'll continue to follow developments in the panhandle, and this week on Meat + Three, we take a look at the recovery efforts underway in other areas of the southeast, including North Carolina. Our stories this week look into the Waffle House Index, World Central Kitchen's recovery efforts, the affects of flooding on small and large farms, and a very different type of storm: the kind that can happen on social media.

We're bringing you our highlights from Feast Portland – four days of delicious food and some very deep conversations in an airstream trailer. We begin with one of the most buzzed-about events at Feast Portland this year, Zero Proof, an alcohol-free dinner that brought together chefs including Andrew Zimmern and Michael Solomonov. Next, we get an insider's look into the history of Portland's dining scene. How did it become the foodie mecca it is today? Elias Cairo of Olympia Provisions interviews one of his mentors, Monique Siu, a key figure in the Portland restaurant scene since she opened Zefiro in 1990. Joining the HRN team on our trip out west were Andrew Friedman and Dana Cowin. Both of their shows, Andrew Talks to Chefs and Speaking Broadly, feature long-form, in-depth interviews with chefs and food industry insiders. For our Feast coverage, they helped us explore the intersections of food and identity with guests Rachel Yang, Diego Galicia, Rico Torres, and Reem Assil. The more chefs talked about how their personal history and family ties shaped their culinary identities, the more we noticed that there was one theme that popped up quite a lot: the overwhelming influence of grandmothers. We hear from Emma Bengtsson, Kristen Murray, Maya Lovelace, Jill Keuhler, and Bonnie Morales. Each woman shares an inspiring story about how their grandmothers shaped their lives and culinary aspirations. We end this week with a short excerpt of Dana Cowin's interview with Jim Meehan. Hear how Meehan envisions the future role of alcohol in restaurants and cocktail culture – especially with the rise of legalized cannabis. It got us wondering if the grass is greener on the other side... a topic we'll explore in next week's Meat + Three! Love Meat + Three?

HRN’s Communications Director Kat Johnson ends our coverage of Feast Portland by talking true Appalachian cooking with Maya Lovelace, a fellow Southerner, and the chef behind Mae and a forthcoming Meat + Three spot in Portland. Maya describes working for chef stars Sean Brock and Naomi Pomeroy—and tells us why she thought she’d never open her own restaurant. Maya Lovelace is bringing Southern flavors and soulful storytelling to Portland, Oregon. After tours in the legendary kitchens of Sean Brock and Naomi Pomeroy, she followed her heart back to the flavors of her North Carolina home, schooling Portland with generous 10-course Southern Appalachian feasts at Mae. After three years as an award winning pop-up (Eater Young Gun 2016,Eater PDX Chef of the Year 2016, James Beard Foundation Awards Rising Star semi-finalist 2017 and 2018, Zagat National 30 under 30 2017, Star Chefs rising star 2018) Maya is finally opening a brick and mortar location with Yonder, a Southern meat & three with Portland charm, coming this year to Northeast Portland.

Do you remember the first cookbook you ever loved? Caity was enthralled by Rose Levy Berenbaum’s The Cake Bible when she was little and spent hours going through her gorgeous photos and awesome recipe names: Enchanted Forest, Strawberry Maria and Chocolate Chestnut Embrace. Years later when she was a teenager, Caity's sister gave her a copy of The Best Recipes in the World by Mark Bittman, which inspired to learn about world cuisines by cooking at home and later fueled her plans to travel the world. That’s the real magic of cookbooks. They can transform your home life, or take you on a trip a million miles away. October is National Cookbook month but we couldn’t wait to talk with a couple of our favorite authors. Rose Levy Beranbaum joins us in the HRN studio, and we talk to our own Sother Teague of The Speakeasy about writing his debut book on his iPhone. Then, we take a closer look at a cookbook scandal that happened last month, and Liza Hamm stopped by the studio to discuss the latest crop of cookbooks with our resident expert, Cathy Erway, host of Eat Your Words on Heritage Radio Network.

When Kat said she wanted to do a whole episode about football, she got some skeptical looks from the rest of the Meat + Three team…. but by the end of this episode you’ll be just as fascinated by the role food plays on the gridiron as she is. Before we go deep with a look into the diets of football players, we talk tailgating . Imagine hundreds of fans gathered around a stadium – beers in hand, smoke wafting off hundreds of grills, all in anticipation of the big game! We enlist Atlanta chefs Nick Leahy, Rusty Bowers, and Kevin Rathbun to share some of their tailgating pro-tips. Starting with the NFL, we find out how pro players are using food to fuel their recoveries. Many athletes rely on the anti-inflammatory power of plants so much that they go all-in on a vegan diet. We hear from Chef Charity Morgan, a chef who feeds her husband (Derrick Morgan of the Tennessee Titans) and his teammates a plant-based meal plan. Scott Sehnert, the Director of Sports Performance and Sports Dietician for the Dallas Cowboys weighs in on the benefits of plants' phytochemicals in aiding players' recovery. Next we move to college, where Mary Margaret McCartney (our intern-at-large) takes us inside of Auburn University's Wellness Kitchen, a $6.6 million, 10,000 square foot facility designed to provide its athletes with optimal nutrition. She speaks to Lauren Silvio, the Director of Sports Nutrition for Auburn Athletics, about how she works to educate the football team about what food is best to eat on and off campus. And finally, our main story this week is about the largest group of football players in the US – the more than one million high school athletes. We speak to Scout Kirkland, a ninth grader playing football at Eufaula High School in Alabama, and his mom, Corey Kirkland, about advice he received when middle school coaches wanted him to 'bulk up.' It made us wonder: what advice should be given to high school athletes, and who should be giving it to them? To help answer this question, we turn to Laura Moretti, a Dietician for the Division of Sports Medicine and Orthopedics at Boston Children's Hospital. Love Meat + Three?

Tell the truth — do you know how to make arepas from scratch? Or know the difference between white and yellow corn? The kids at The Dynamite Shop do. On this week’s bonus episode, we go behind the scenes at this week-long culinary summer camp and after-school program in Brooklyn that’s calling itself “Home Ec 2.0”. Back in episode 9, "Youth," we talked about a number of organizations, like Seed Life Skills, taking on staid home economics curriculums. With The Dynamite Shop, co-founders Dana Bowen and Sara Kate Gillingham want to provide teens and 'tweens with the basic life skills every adult should have. According to Bowen and Gillingham, food is one of the easiest ways to connect kids to the larger community around them. That's why The Dynamite Shop invites chefs and passionate home cooks from around the world to broaden the kids’ culinary horizons, not only by teaching them to make delicious dishes, but by engaging them in conversations about food history, food traditions... and the best way to make naturally-dyed rainbow arepas.

This week, we have a bonus segment about what it takes to end hunger in America. Back on episode 10, we brought you a few highlights from our trip to Slow Food Nations. Many of you reached out about one segment in particular: a clip of our interview with John Ikerd. So this week, we bring you that interview in its entirety. We first heard Ikerd speak at the Slow Food Leadership Summit, and became intrigued by one of his big ideas. He believes that there is a way to solve hunger in the U.S. It requires us to view food as a public utility and place a larger emphasis on human relationships. Ikerd holds a PhD in Agricultural Economics from the University of Missouri, and his career focus was agricultural extension. In 1984, he became the director of Extension Agricultural Economics at the University of Georgia. However, in the 80s, his way of thinking began to shift. The US was experiencing a farm crisis, and Ikerd began to see failures of the policies he had been advocating to farmers. He reoriented his work towards sustainable agriculture and economics, and brought this outlook to the Land Grant system. He returned to the University of Missouri in 1989, under a cooperative agreement with the USDA, with a mission to develop research and educational programs related to sustainable agriculture.

For this "snack-sized" episode, we’re joining the Farmers Market Coalition to recognize National Farmers Market Week! This is a great time to talk speak with Ben Feldman, the Policy Director at FMC about farmers, because there is a ton of news about agricultural economics right now. But before we talk about local markets, we step back and take in the bigger picture. On episode two of Meat + Three, we reported a story on tariffs and the escalating trade tensions between China and the U.S. – and how farmers were already feeling their effects. We spoke to Loren Puette of ChinaAg, a market intelligence company that focuses on the ag markets of China. At the time, he said we were far from being a full-fledged trade war, but this week we asked Loren "What about now? Has a trade war begun?" His response was yes. “The trade dispute escalated into a full blown trade war on July 6th after both sides imposed 25% tariffs on a variety of imported goods. Chief among them were U.S. soybeans," wrote Puette. We bring you a story about one of the biggest casualties of the trade war – a stranded cargo ship off the coast of China carrying soybeans worth $20 million. Then, we explain how the "farmer bailout" that President Trump has proposed is set to provide temporary relief to commodity farmers, but will have little effect on specialty farmers that sell direct-to-consumer. On the other hand, Feldman explains that specialty farmers are able to weather economic fluctuations, because they get better prices on crops through direct sales. Love Meat + Three?

It's the season finale of Meat + Three! A few weeks ago, we presented an episode about youth, so for this week’s theme, we’re flipping the script and focusing on age. We start with a visit to one of Atlanta's most iconic landmarks, Hotel Clermont, which just re-opened! Meet the team behind the hotel's French brasserie, Tiny Lou's, and discover the fascinating history behind its name. Hannah Fordin investigates what happens when it’s time for a chef to retire. In other career paths, you can count on your employer to help you plan ahead, but it rarely works that way in the restaurant industry. Helping Hannah tackle this subject matter is Andrew Friedman, who's interviewed hundreds of chefs – in all stages of their careers – for his show, Andrew Talks to Chefs, and book, Chefs, Drugs, and Rock & Roll. Kat Johnson looks into trends related to the average age of the principal farm operators in the US, which has risen by about eight years (from 50 years old to 58) over the past three decades. To learn more about how this could impact the food supply, we hear from Lisa Held, the new host of The Farm Report. We also have news about a food that turns out to be much older than we believed, as Jordan Werner Barry asks the question, "Is bread paleo now?" Love Meat + Three?

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of cider? That may not be quite how the final draft of the Declaration of Independence turned out, but American Independence, and maybe even the Declaration’s writing, was fueled by fermented apples. George Washington is said to have served 144 gallons of cider during his campaign for Virginia’s House of Burgesses in 1758. John Adams started every morning with a tankard of the hard stuff. And Benjamin Franklin, responding to the story of Adam and Eve, said, “It’s indeed bad to eat apples, it’s better to turn them all into cyder.” We can’t say that cider is the reason America’s founding mothers and fathers fought for Independence, but the liquid courage probably helped. Today, America’s cider industry is holding on to that independent streak, carving out an identity in a crowded market of beer and wine drinkers. The industry has grown from near nonexistence after Prohibition to more than 800 cideries in 48 states. That independence carries through to cider media, too, in the form of an independently published, print-only, advertisement-free cider zine. Today, Jordan Barry brings us the story of Malus.

As we countdown the days until the Fourth of July, team HRN contemplates the deeper meaning of Independence Day, and what it means to be a citizen of the United State of America. We ponder what our Founding Mothers and Fathers sat down to drink after (and before) a long day of revolution, and highlight a story of self-sufficiency on the island of Vieques, Puerto Rico and an update on life post-Hurricane Maria. Join us for an analysis of the challenges facing independent grocery stores across the US, and a behind-the-scenes look at our own radio and podcast production.

It’s June, so all of us at Heritage Radio Network are celebrating Pride month! Pride honors the 1969 Stonewall riots that launched the Gay Liberation Movement here in New York City. Before you binge watch season two of Queer Eye, catch up with this week's episode of Meat + Three. First, we turn to last week’s Supreme Court decision about the baker from Colorado who refused to design a wedding cake for a same-sex couple, back in 2012. To recap: Charlie Craig and David Mullins met, fell in love and decided to get married. They went to the Masterpiece Cakeshop, to order a custom cake for their wedding, but the owner, Jack Phillips, denied their request. He cited his Christian faith and religious objection to same sex marriage. The ACLU filed a complaint with the Colorado Civil Rights Commission and in 2013, that organization ruled against Phillips. His lawyers failed to get the ruling overturned in Colorado, but two years ago, the US Supreme Court agreed to hear the case. On June 4th, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Phillips and Masterpiece Cakeshop, saying that the Colorado Civil Rights Commission did not act as a neutral ruling body in the matter. We were surprised by the decision, so we asked our correspondent Esther Trakinski to share some insight on Justice Kennedy’s majority decision. (Trakinski practiced law for 25 years before becoming a food systems specialist and adjunct professor at NYU.) She told us that the Supreme Court decision is much narrower than civil rights advocates feared, and actually called it “a resounding acknowledgement that gay people are protected persons under the law.” The decision was procedural and highly specific to this case. To be sure, some may try to invoke this decision to deny services to gay people for their weddings, but last week’s ruling ensures their actions would still be considered unlawful in a courtroom. Still, emotions are running high after the verdict–we’ve seen a deluge of negative Yelp reviews about Masterpiece Cakeshop, and actor Andrew Garfield pled at the Tony Awards “let’s just bake a cake for everyone who wants a cake to be baked.” That’s why we’re delighted to introduce you to Jim Samaras, who co-owns Lora’s Donuts and Bakery shop with his wife in Englewood, Colorado. Not only did they reach out and offer to bake Charlie and David a custom wedding cake (a rainbow cake, to be more specific), they gave it to the couple for free. Our next story turns to Taylor Lanzet, another woman whose work brings us joy. As the Director of Supply and Sustainability, she sources vegetables for Dig Inn, a fast casual restaurant chain that focuses on serving local produce. Host Dana Cowin, who currently has a consulting gig with the restaurant group, welcomed Lanzet to her show, Speaking Broadly on an episode she called “Queer Eye for the Food Supply.” Kat Johnson addresses the controversy surrounding Antoni Porowski, Queer Eye’s Food and Wine Expert. Many viewers thought his recipes from season one were unsophisticated, but we ask: what’s wrong with simple food? Mitchell Davis, the Executive Vice President of the James Beard Foundation, even weighs in on simple food and provides us with one of his favorite summer recipes! We end with a story by Hannah Fordin of a food writer who’s exploring the fascinating correlation between the vegan and LGBTQ communities. Leah Kirts is a freelance food writer and nutrition educator for a non profit in Harlem. She developed research on the intersection between the LGBTQ community and the vegan community. She shares her journey of coming out as vegetarian – and eventually vegan – before fully coming to terms with her queer identity. Love Meat + Three?

Before this new episode of Meat + Three, we take a moment to remember Anthony Bourdain, who passed away today. Bourdain was in France working on an upcoming episode of his award-winning CNN series "Parts Unknown." His close friend Eric Ripert found Bourdain unresponsive in his hotel room Friday morning (June 8, 2018). CNN reported that the cause of death was suicide. Bourdain was 61 years old. We send our love and condolences to his family, friends, and team at Zero Point Zero. If someone you know exhibits warning signs of suicide, call the U.S. National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-TALK (8255). Today's topic is water. On June 2nd, the World Health Organization and UNICEF released a report that 2.1 billion people do not have access to safe drinking water at home. At HRN, our most vocal advocate for clean H20 is Katy Keiffer, host of What Doesn’t Kill You. Lately, she’s been jumping into the topic of water contamination in the heartland. We bring you excerpts from her recent shows that dive into the issue of nitrate-laced water in two farming communities. Rural areas are more affected by water pollution, but that doesn’t mean urban areas are immune to their own water woes. Hannah Fordin spoke to a reporter who just broke the story that hundreds of New York City’s water tanks could be contaminated. Our last story looks into high-end waters and what lengths bar owners and restaurateurs will go to find the perfect level of bubbles in their bottles. Love Meat + Three?

Since the Times-Picayune broke the news about sexual harassment allegations against New Orleans chef John Besh last fall, the restaurant industry has had to take a hard look at the bad behavior it’s tacitly allowed for years. There are many women in the industry actively trying to make the workplace safer and more equitable for everyone. Hear how an artist, editor, and restaurateur joined forces to create a poster to battle sexual harassment and how a digital directory is building equitability at food events, in publications, and beyond. Taking "a stand" literally, we have a report from Harry Rosenblum about that summer staple: the lemonade stand. We also look into a Japanese steakhouse that tried to offer standing-room-only dining at its New York location – a trend that didn't stand with diners. Love Meat + Three?

What do Legos, Salt Bae and a cheese truck have in common? They all play a role in this week's Meat + Three, which is all about the dreaded bureaucratic red tape. To kick things off, we hear from Brandon Hoy, Dave Arnold, Sother Teague, Damon Boelte, and Jimmy Carbone, five of HRN's hosts who are all seasoned bar/restaurant owners in New York. They share some of the strangest red tape they've encountered. There are many rules governing when, how, and where you can open up shop – a lesson that the mysterious "Salt Bae" learned when he brought his eponymous restaurant (and glove-less hands) to Manhattan. Not all red tape stories are downers – HRN's Hannah Fordin catches up with NYC Council Member Rafael Espinal about the successful repeal the New York City Cabaret Law, a regulation introduced in 1926 that was often called racist, homophobic and authoritarian by its opponents. To better understand red tape in other cities, Sarah Strong brings us a report from New Haven about the efforts to make food trucks stationary and Micaela Heck speaks to a restauranteur about his campaign to bring a parking deck to downtown Roswell, Georgia.

Ever since the sizzling news about Chinese tariffs on pork dropped, we knew we'd have to do a Meat + Three episode about pork. This week's show features a deep dive into the tangled relationship between American soybeans and Chinese pork with help from Bettina Ring, Virginia's Secretary of Agriculture and Forestry, and Loren Puette of ChinaAg. To build up our strength to tackle such a dense subject, we first visit our friends at Heritage Foods to learn their expert tips for making a next-level BLT with your summer tomato and lettuce bounty (hint: perfect bacon = perfect BLT). Executive Director Caity Moseman Wadler gets to the bottom of the term "legislative pork" with help from Katy Keiffer of What Doesn't Kill You and Esther Trakinski, a Food/Adjunct Professor at NYU. Finally, we look into the Fatback Pig Project, a group formed in 2013 that is helping put small-scale pig farmers back to work in Alabama. Love Meat + Three?

Big triumphs are often followed by bigger letdowns. Our series premiere is about hitting a snag. Vallery Lomas won season four of The Great American Baking Show, but her season never aired due to sexual misconduct allegations against one of the show's judges, Johnny Iuzzini. Mikkel Borg Bjergsø was once a champion runner. After opening his brewery, Mikkeller, he found the steady supply of beer had a negative effect on his stamina. The solution to his problem became a world-wide phenomenon. Alison Roman released her acclaimed cookbook, Dining In, in October 2017. When her recipe for Salted Chocolate Chunk Shortbread Cookies went viral, she became their Instagram "stage mom" and had to learn to deal with some unexpected haters. Finally, one of the biggest triumphs for NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio was the installation of universal free lunch for all public school students. While City Hall celebrated, workers in lunch rooms across the city faced the realization that they would soon be understaffed and overworked. Love Meat + Three?

We decided to write our episode title in flour, and luckily for us, our flagship sponsor, Bob's Red Mill, has plenty of great flours to choose from. Meat + Three is powered by Simplecast
