Summary
It's the end of an era here at The Splendid Table as we say goodbye to our marvelous host and wonderful friend Lynne Rossetto Kasper. Lynne is retiring after more than 22 years hosting our show, and this episode is an homage to her. Recorded during a live farewell event at The Fitzgerald Theater in her hometown of Saint Paul, Minnesota, "Lynne's Goodbye" features Lynne, Francis Lam and Managing Producer Sally Swift. The three take a look back at Lynne's fifty-plus years of curious eating, writing, teaching, traveling, and sharing her life's work and passion with millions of people around the world. You will hear a bit of a roast, some of Lynne's favorite stories from The Splendid Table, and a touching tribute to Lynne from our new host, Francis Lam.
