Prepare to have your culinary curiosities indulged as we embark on a savory adventure with none other than New Orleans-based author and food journalist Matt Haines. Our palates will travel from the crispy crunch of Chef Jeffrey’s country fried pork chop to the colorful creativity of a Miami Beach-inspired dish that’s sure to bring the sunshine in. Along the way, we’ll tease your taste for Asian cuisine with an exquisite miso sake chop and a citrusy tribute to the Juicy Crunch tangerine.
Our session with Matt isn't just about tantalizing taste sensations – it's a cultural voyage through the history and evolution of the King Cake, from its ancient Roman roots to its current status as a Mardi Gras icon. Discover how the cake's hidden figurine can lead to jovial obligations and listen in as Matt shares his own journey from classical trombonist to a King Cake aficionado. His book on the subject is the first of its kind, and his passion for the dessert's rich variety and symbolic importance is as infectious as it is enlightening.
We wrap up the conversation by pondering the impacts of culinary innovation, from sushi king cakes to cannoli-infused delights, and how these twists on tradition can lead to economic and cultural ripples. Get the scoop on how to snag a copy of "The Big Book of King Cake" and where to follow Matt for more delicious details. So,
