Come see the absolute horror MJ and I created in the kitchen. It was a blaspheme unto the Lord of Cookery, and we had plenty of laughs along the way.

Edited to the halfway point in the raw audio from my recent Awesome Con dinner with Chef's Kiss author @jarrettmelendez.bsky.social so our chat will be pleasing to your ears when you join us at the table one week from today on the next episode of my Eating the Fantastic podcast. pod.link/1083737796
