Hey there listeners, future collars, and cooking enthusiasts. This is Dinner SOS, the show where we help you save dinner, or whatever you're cooking.

I'm Chris Morocco, Food Director of Bon Appetit and Epicurious.

So, about a month ago, we held our first ever Dinner SOS live show at Symphony Space in New York City, and I'm so excited to share that show with you on this episode.

We used some questions from our listener mail bag, and even answered some that came in right on the spot.

It was a delight for me to share the stage for the evening with food deluminaries Ruth Ryshel, Marcus Samuelson, and Padmela Xmi.

Ruth is a legendary food writer and restaurant critic. She served as editor-in-chief of Gourmet magazine and as the chief restaurant critic for the New York Times, among many other accolades.

Marcus is the chef behind restaurants like Red Rooster Harlem and the newly opened Havan Mar. He's also written books, won awards, and made many, many television appearances.

And Padma is the executive producer and host of the Hulu show Taste the Nation, which highlights immigrant and native food communities all over America.

She's also been the host of Cooking Competition Show Top Chef for the last 19 seasons.

Without further ado, Dinner SOS Live.

Tonight's going to be a little different. Instead of one co-host, we have three. And three culinary all stars at that.

And we're all going to bring our unique perspectives and experiences to the table here to help solve dinner emergencies just right here on the spot.

And yeah, let's get into it and hear our first question from listener Anna. If we could play the voicemail, please.

Hi, my name is Anna and I'm calling from Bozeman Montana and during COVID, we gave up on making the kids eat more variety.

And we're now in a cycle of five things that they will eat. And my husband and I cook two separate meals every single night.

And the kids are now seven and nine and just refusing to try most things that eat almost any vegetable that we put in front of them.

But if we put even the slightest amount of barbecue sauce on chicken, they are highly averse.

So we're trying to find things that stretch their taste buds that can be in regular rotation for a weeknight kid friendly dinner, but open my kids horizon a little bit.

Padma, I feel like this is a great one for you to kick us off on.
