Description
Happy Thanksgiving from Jimmy, BSR, and HRN! Today we’re joined by culinary writer and historian John Taylor who calls in from the future, based 12 hours ahead in Cambodia. He’s here to talk about his new anthology book, Charleston to Phnom Penh: A Cook’s Journal, as well as to dish out some Thanksgiving food for thought.To start, John takes Jimmy way back to the ‘80s, when John first moved to Charleston, South Carolina to open Hoppin’ John’s bookstore. There were only a handful of restaurants at the time, and John tracked the city’s culinary renaissance over the years as a culinary historian (he is not a chef, he insists). After initially finding a vacuum, he watched as Charleston’s food scene blossomed by going back to its culinary roots (shrimp and grits, anyone?).Later on in the episode, John goes over some of the recipes you can find in his book. How does roast chicken with butter beans, rice, piccalilli, okra, and mustard greens with a hot pepper and vinegar relish sound for Thanksgiving dinner? Maybe pair it off with your favorite craft cider.We’re thankful for you here at BSR!Heritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network.

Episode 115: Pair and Ferment!: On this weeks episode of Beer Sessions Radio, Jimmy Carbone and guests are talking about beer pairings and fermentation. Matt Bean of Mens Health is in the studio with some sour beers that he is pairing with a rhubarb crisp. Tune in to hear what beer fairs the best! Herbalist Claudia Keel and Claire Hartten are also joining us to discuss fermentation not only in beer, but in yogurt, kombucha, and cheese. Hear about some of the health benefits of eating and drinking fermented products. Candice Santaferraro calls in from Frogs Leap Farm and Winery to discuss some of the homemade mead that shes been fermenting. Finally, Jimmy and the rest talk about cult beers, and whether theyre really worth the hunt. This episode has been brought to you by GreatBrewers.com. Its also interesting because acidity plays such a role [in sour beer], and of course in wine acidity plays a role. It sets it up for some nice pairings that are reminiscent of what wine can do. -- Jen by Beer Sessions Radio (TM)
