Podcasts about queer soup night

Soup is one of those meals that inherently brings people together — maybe it's the warmth, the fusion of ingredients and spices, or the act of ladling into carefully clutched bowls. Soup is also part of the culinary tradition of cultures around the globe.Vermont Edition brought together chefs and listeners to share soup-making tips. Our guests were Joe Buley Jr. of Joe's Kitchen at Screamin' Ridge Farm in East Montpelier, and Caroline Hannon and Bex Slatterly of the Queer Soup Night event series in Brattleboro. This episode also featured Seven Days food writer Jordan Barry. She joined us for our monthly chat about food and beverage news.

Happy Pride! In today’s episode, we honor the trailblazers and celebrate the community builders by exploring the role food has played in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights. Nico Wisler, host of our newest show Queer The Table brings us a story about the Compton’s Cafeteria riot, an uprising that preceded the Stonewall Riots by a few years and marked the beginning of transgender activism in San Francisco. Colette LeGrande, who today stars in drag shows at Aunt Charlie’s Lounge, was a regular patron of Compton’s Cafeteria in the Sixties. She sat with Nico in her dressing room to share memories of the restaurant where the LGBTQ+ community could find warmth, safety, and a cup of coffee after spending the night on the street. Hear more of the story in the first episode of Queer the Table – coming soon to HRN! Our other stories this week take a look at the legacy of LGBTQ+-related riots of the 1960s. Aleah Papes introduces us to Queer Soup Night, a Brooklyn-born queer party with soup at its center and a commitment to resistance. Pauline Munch takes us all the way to Toronto for a very special drag brunch at the Glad Day Bookshop, “the world’s oldest LGBTQ bookstore.” This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council.

"I've always dreamed of a soup party." - Liz Alpern On today’s show we interview Liz Alpern, one of the founders of Queer Soup Night. Queer Soup Night started in Brooklyn with a simple event format. Liz, a queer professional chef made a soup, attendees got to enjoy that soup (and a party!) in exchange for a suggested donation to a cause. The first one went so well, Liz and her partners Jen Martin and Kathleen Cunningham knew they had to keep going. Now, there are Queer Soup Nights in chapters round the country - from Oakland and Portland to Gainesville and Boston. Their events have raised thousands of dollars for Queer and Queer adjacent causes, from New York Transgender Advocacy Group to the Center for Anti-Violence Education. Why soup? Why a party with a charity? Why launch chapters? We'll get into the whole story with Liz today on the podcast.

In honor of Passover, we’re talking everything from matzo to schmaltz. Alana Newhouse, the editor in chief of Tablet, stops by to discuss her new book, The 100 Most Jewish Foods, with Cherry Bombe Special Projects Director (and matzo ball soup aficionado) Lauren Goldstein. In the second half of the show, Radio Cherry Bombe Associate Producer Jess Zeidman talks to Liz Alpern of Queer Soup Night and The Gefilteria about all things gefilte fish and why she’d invite Oprah to her seder. Plus, Executive Pastry Chef Paola Velez of Kith & Kin in Washington, D.C., tells us who she thinks is the bombe. Special thanks to Handsome Brook Farm Pasture Raised Organic Eggs for supporting this season of Radio Cherry Bombe!

Libby Willis (@libbylark) is the chef and co-owner of the hottest restaurant in New York City, MeMe’s Diner (@memesdiner). In an interview with Jarry magazine, Libby and her business partner Bill Clark described MeMe’s as a “very, very gay restaurant,” and with that one quote, MeMe’s Diner became not just a foodie hot spot, but part of the queer culinary moment that’s sweeping the industry, one that’s being shaped by the likes of JaynesBeard, Queer Soup Night, Chefs Ora Wise, Preeti Mistry, Angela Dimayuga, and others. The attention from Eater, Bon Appetit, and The New Yorker is getting people in the door, but they’re staying for Libby’s unique spin on comfort food, Bill’s baked goods, and the duo’s modern, thoughtful hospitality. Libby talks to host Kerry Diamond (@kerrybombe) about being part of a phenomenon, her kitchen bona fides, and how MeMe’s came to be. Our second guest is Lauren Goldstein (lauren_goldstein), Northwestern University grad and creator of the Sugar and Spice Summit, the only conference dedicated to connecting college women and young female professionals with influential women working in the food industry. Lauren joins us to talk about the summit, which will take place this year on April 28th in Chicago. Thank you to Emmi, the maker of beautiful, delicious cheeses from Switzerland, and to Le Cordon Bleu, the legendary culinary school, for supporting this episode of Radio Cherry Bombe.
