love the podcast suggestions--specific episodes, especially! It's always nice to go directly to something that hits the spot on business/food brain crossover.

I am listening to episode 303 (again) of the podcast Join Us In France-it's such a wonderful podcast about all things French-culture, language, history, food, and wine of course. Episode 303 is titled The Auvergne Cheese Route and it makes me happy.

I remember Splendid Table when Lynne Rosetto Kasper hosted it. My favorite podcast about food ever, it's all mixed up with when my kids were little, doing dishes with one napping and one clinging to my leg and wondering if I'd ever get to really cook again.

Two things in your article that have connections to people I care about-my daughter is in Boston and is a big Tatte fan, and our good friend works for Shacksbury in Vermont. Enjoy your time in New England!!

I like The Sporkful. Episodes about Pawpaws, Flamin Hot Cheetos, Spam, the one about the beer test, the library of congress cooking club, Rosa Park’s pancake recipe, Prince’s Hot Chicken Shack, and the interviews with random chefs and celebs and writers are all good. They have the feel of reading a shortish magazine article.

I second this! The Sporkful is my fave food podcast. The host, Dan Pashman, sounds like your next-door neighbour. I like all of the episodes Briana mentioned, plus the episode When White People Say Plantation and his interview with Michael Ian Black are both really good. The Food Programme from the BBC is also good.

I also love The Sporkful! I really miss Home Cooking (Samin & Hrishi pleaaase come back!) I have just started listening to Borderline Salty with Rick Martinez & Carla lalli music and really enjoying it so far. Lots of fun caller questions to troubleshoot

I am a very long time fan of and learned a lot from Arthur Schwartz, the Foodmaven who was the Food Talk guy on WOR until it got bought out/turned into a poliltics-all-the-time station. He retired, but was invited to do a weekly conversation with the hosts on Robin Hood Radio, a public radio station out of CT - and they post podcasts of all their shows, including Arthur's. You can find the podcast on most outlets and the station's website robinhoodradioondemand.com

The Smartless podcast Episode 50 with Jose Andres was amazing!

Just here to comment on your Tatte cup. 😊 We discovered this awesome place on a trip to Boston last year. We’ve now found them while visiting DC and have gotten friends hooked.

You did well with your Boston picks, Jenny! Sarma and Sofra are sister restaurants/bakery of Oleana. You would love them when you come next time!

as a born and bred rhode islander, chowdah is a way of life and something i've been eating since i was very small. new england only please, and thick enough that it thoroughly coats a spoon. it's a comfort food for sure. gotta have clamcakes with it. (for anyone unfamiliar, they are not crabcakes but with clams, they're a whole different animal. fluffy, fried, dip them in the chowder!) i also was often poked fun at for the way i eat my chowder, which is to put the oyster crackers in first. you're "supposed" to save the oyster crackers for the end when you've eaten all the potatoes and clams and have only broth left, to stretch the soup. but eat the way you like, i say!

I like Rhode Island Clam Chowder even better than New England. Iggy's Doughboy serves all three chowders (NE, RI & Manhattan) and you can dip doughboys in while you consume. If you really want to go all out you can get a doughboy sundae at their ice cream shop next door.

BTW, did you know there's an Eventide in Boston now? (Noticed that's the cookbook that the chowda recipe came from and thought I'd pass that along just in case).

If you get a chance, the Brown Butter Hazelnut donuts from Union Square Donuts in Boston are the things dreams are made of.

The Table Manners episode with Tony Hawk was such a fun listen (anyone else obsessed with Gleaming the Cube back in the day?!) Season 13 Ep. 10
