"Do I think food bowls are a suspiciously simple, borderline culturally insensitive, inexplicably popular food phenomenon? Yes. Did I eat a burrito bowl for dinner yesterday? Will I eat a poké bowl for lunch today? Also, yes." -- Harry Wood, Super bowl: The rise of food bowls in America, The Splendid Table
The Splendid Table podcast is not just a show about cooking. It is about the ingredients, the dishes, and the cultural traditions that surround it. It is a glorious look into the heart of our neighbors homes and what makes them different, yet very much the same. Hosted by award-winning food writer Francis Lam, this is not just some cooking show. Instead, it is layers of food and traditions that come together to define us in a very personal way.
Each Friday, a new episode takes listeners for a look into the heart of homes around the globe and around the block. They share traditional and modernized recipes, stories of how food influenced their life, traditions surrounding their culture, and what it means to them now.
"A culinary, culture and lifestyle program, it has hosted our nation's conversations about cooking, sustainability and food culture" and has introduced listeners to renowned chefs and home cooks the world over. Each episode is about an hour long and can be found online at TheSplendidTable.org or through any podcast station.
If you have any type of interest in food, travel, or cultural heritage, have a listen. It will not disappoint.
