Hi, everyone. You're listening to Radio Cherrybaum, and I'm your host, Carrie Diamond, coming to you from New York City.

Today's guest is Dan Pelosi, the cook, creator, host, an all-around delight who so many of you know as Grossie Pelosi.

Dan has built one of the most joyful, generous communities around,

and his new cookbook, Let's Party, recipes and menus for celebrating every day hit shelves this

fall. It's a great guide to the kind of entertaining he's become known for on fussy, deeply

flavorful, rooted in tradition, and engineered so the host actually gets to sit down and enjoy

themselves. How radical. This is Dan's first time on the show, and I'm so excited to chat with him.

I am such a big fan. Of course, we talk about entertaining and his beloved family, but we also

talk about Dan's fashion and design side, which I didn't know anything about. He graduated from RISD, the famous Rhode Island School of Design, and went on to work in creative services with brands like The Gap and Taylor and Lou and Gray. Dan brings such a sharp creative eye to everything he does from his cookie parties to his home renovation, and this will help you understand a little bit more

of how he processes everything. Speaking of cookies, we also talk about the New York Times

cooking Cookie Week. Dan contributed a recipe to that package. And then we talked dating,

life, self-care, and how he's really just a homebody at heart. Stay tuned for our chat,

which was recorded at Rockefeller Center in New York City.

And yes, Dan and I walked over and saw the world-famous tree after the recording. I love the tree.

It's such a fun tradition. Speaking of traditions, tomorrow, Thursday, December 11th,

Team Cherrybaum and I will be in Charleston, one of my favorite cities for our final working lunch event.

This is a great series we've been doing in partnership with the Visa Dining Collection by Open Table and Visa,

and it features lunch, networking, and a great panel conversation.

It all takes place in 90 minutes, so maybe you can sneak out of work, hang with us, and return to your workplace before anyone even notices you're gone.

We'll be at Brasery Labon, and we'll get to hear from Brasery's Vonda Freeman,

Jillian Schaffer from Fig, and Corey Wong of Jackrabbit, Philly, and King Barbecue.

Access to all working lunch experiences is available for eligible visa credit cardholders,
