this is mils street radio from p.rx, I'm your host Christopher Kimball.

Today's my interview with top chef host Kristen Kish. She reveals what she really thinks about diners who behave badly.

Don't stack the plates. Just don't stack the plates. I just, I hate it so much.

Wait, diners stack the plates?

Diners stack the plates because they think they're being helpful.

And they kind of push it off to the side because they're like, oh, we don't want these dirty dishes in front of us anymore. Plus, she shares stories from Top Chef, including her winning mushrooms. I sweat down some aromatics, garlic shallots, thyme, de-glaze with a little bit of vermouth, finished with some butter, sherry vinegar, fresh parsley, salt, pepper. Perfect. God, this sounds good. I want $10,000 for those, by the way.

And you deserved every dollar of it. Thank you.

Christine Kish speaks out. That's coming up later in the show. But first, I'm joined by

Rhea Hart. She recently wrote an essay for The Atlantic about eating and traveling on tour

with her father, Grateful Dead drummer,

Mickey Hart.

Ray, welcome to Milk Street.

Thank you so much.

I'm really happy to be here.

I promise not to sing any dead songs.

Talk about all the concerts I went to, so I'll spare you all of that, which you've

heard a thousand times. I will just say

that my first concert was February 1970, second show, Phil Morrie. So, wow. And Pigpen was still there.
