Saturday, August 18 Show

Saturday, we’ll have a panel discussion show with Evan Benn of the Post-Dispatch and Matt Sorrell of Ladue News Spicy Bits, Feast, Alive and other media outlets.

We’ll discuss a variety of food and beverage related topics, such as: Does the term “food porn” bother you? Toasted Ravioli—should it be celebrated or retired? What are the foods that you will not eat—not Zimmern weird, but things that are on menus? What’s the tastiest dish you’ve had in a restaurant—or from a food truck—lately?

If you’d like to call in with a question or comment, you can dial us up at 314-969-0590.

Saturday, July 28

We wrap up six months of Food Talk STL with a big show this Saturday.

Catherine Neville of Feast Magazine will share highlights from the 2012 “Feast 50,” a list of reader-submitted people, places and things they love from the STL food & beverage scene. (A few on the 2011 Feast 50 list were staff picks.)

Angie Ortmann, who wears many hats, will talk about sharing her love of wine with others. How does a restaurant put together its wine list? We’ll ask the @STLwinegirl, as she is known on Twitter.

Al Carfagna of Mama Gusto’s is a personable guy who has brought his pizza (and other Italian food) to St. Louis. Mama Gusto’s has been a big success in Lebanon, Illinois and now is growing in popularity at 7700 Ivory.

Adam Perry Lang Comes To St. Louis

Adam Perry Lang is promoting his new book Charred and Scruffed with a visit to St. Louis on Friday, June 15. I have been invited to conduct a chat with him at Left Bank Books, 321 N. 10th Street, at 7:00 p.m. Friday evening.

This free event provides a great opportunity for you to see and hear Adam in person and ask him anything you wish about his new grilling techniques and about his spackles, bastes and finishing salts.

His book will be available for purchase and he will sign a copy for you. You may want to buy an extra copy for your father for Father’s Day!

See you Friday night at Left Bank Books!
