The Catholic Foodie

Welcome, Folks, to the Catholic Foodie, Where food meets faith! I’m your host Jeff Young and I have lots of goodies for you today. The family and I had the opportunity to meet two chefs two weeks ago: Chef John Besh and Alton Brown, and I can’t wait to tell you all about it! We have a question about skim milk, specifically, what makes it skim and how is it different than regular milk. And, of course, I have a recipe for you. Two actually. We’ll talk about shrimp stock and shrimp bisque. Sarah Reinhard joins us today. And in her Mary in the Kitchen segment we have food and faith thanks to the rosary on her kitchen windowsill. All this, and more, right here at the Catholic Foodie…. Where food meets faith!

Today we're talking about my birthday week. Yes, we even stretch out birthday celebrations as long as we can! It's not unusual for folks to celebrate birthdays with a meal, & that's definitely a big tradition in our family. I love going to my favorite pizza parlor. And boy do I have a story for you!

Next weekend is Greek Fest here in New Orleans, and I want to show you why we love it so much, even though we are not Greek. Wish I could say it was due to some ecumenical outreach of ours. But, it’s not. In this short episode I show you why we go.
