Corned Moose Recipe from the Great Yukon Beyond with Liz and Jeffrey

A Pre-Fourth of July Pastrami Primer with Adam Chandler of The Wall Street Journal

If you like creative sandwich names, dueling regional pastrami styles, and glizzy banter, you’ll love this week’s episode with one very special guest. Liz and Jeffrey gear up for the Fourth of July with New York-based journalist and proud Texan, Adam Chandler, author and food columnist at The Wall Street Journal ( @wsj  [https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCK7tptUDHh-RYDsdxO1-5QQ]). No better expert could be better suited to join our hosts as they answer listeners’ burning questions about Texas- versus New York-style pastrami, the Jewish history of the hot dog, and whether the tradition of sandwiches named after celebrities is alive and thriving, or ready to retire. Exploring food trends at the intersection of business and culture, Adam is the author of "Drive-Thru Dreams: A Journey into the Heart of America’s Fast-Food Kingdom," as well as "99% Perspiration: A New Working History of the American Way of Life".

Diasporic Foodways, Pickle Trends, and "Unusual" Family Traditions with Author Michael W. Twitty

Most Americans underestimate how much industry and tradition shape our Jewish and Southern food. This week, Liz and Jeffrey sit down with Michael W. Twitty, the renowned culinary historian and James Beard Award–winning author of The Cooking Gene and Koshersoul. The three dive into how industrialization transformed kosher foods from trusted community staples into mass-produced, low-quality products, and how that shift may be behind the decline of once-great Jewish delis. They also explore ways in which certain traditions are kept alive, the best foods for pickling, and so much more. A prolific writer and food justice advocate, his unique perspective on Black, Jewish, and Southern culinary crossovers adds a special flair to this lively discussion, especially during Pride and Juneteenth month.
