Let's Talk About Food
Because everyone has a food story. From our first mouthful of applesauce in front of our adoring family, to our first bite into a jalapeño pepper, and everything in between, food is at the heart of the human experience. We love it. We need it. Food is family and ritual. Fun and work. Sophistication and guilty pleasure, scarcity and overabundance. Food makes us ecstatic and sometimes crazy. Food delights and disappoints. Can you think of a connector that binds us together more universally or seamlessly than our shared relationships with food? That’s what we do in this podcast: Share entertaining, evocative, celebratory, complicated and funny food stories.

Louisa Kasdon
Louisa Kasdon has done it all. Owned restaurants and closed three restaurants. (She calls herself a restaurant industry dropout.). Been an editor and written over 500 published articles and columns on food, and on food people. Created hundreds of large and small-scale public events to engage the community around all aspects of food. For the past 10 years she has been listening to and recording hundreds of people’s food stories. At outdoor festivals, in small rooms, on street corners and in major museums. Why? Because when someone shares a food story with you, you open the window into their truest, most honest self.
Louisa lives in Boston, and is a graduate of Wellesley College, MIT and the Wharton School. But she admits that what she does every day uses absolutely nothing she learned in school, other than punctuation and spelling.
