Hi, everyone. You're listening to Radio Cherry Bomb, and I'm your host, Carrie Diamond,

coming to you from New York City. Today's guest is someone very near and dear to me and the Cherry Bomb Universe,

chef, author, TV host, and proud PBS champion, Vivian Howard. Vivian has been a long-time friend

of the show, and if you know her work, you know she has always been one of the most thoughtful,

curious voices in food. So it makes sense that her latest PBS series is called Kitchen Curious.

Vivian goes straight to the pros to get answers about what we're cooking, eating,

and buying. From the truth about seed oils and grocery store myths to why the French love

frozen food, she digs in with her trademark honesty and humor. Of course, we also talk about

Thanksgiving. We talk turkey, side, stuffing, and lots more. The holiday is just a few days away, as you all know,

but I am sure plenty of you could still use some tips, tricks, and advice from one of the

country's top chefs. I know I could. We also chat about Vivian's restaurant world. She has her

place, chef and the farmer, in Kinston, North Carolina, where she is hosting intimate kitchen bar

dinners. I would like to go to one of

those. There is her Charleston spot, Lenore, and her Outer Banks restaurant Theodosia. Yes, the same

theodosia from Hamilton for all my ham fans out there. Speaking of Charleston, we have a special

working lunch event coming up in Charleston on Thursday, December 11th, with open table and the

Visa Dining Collection. Head over to cherrybom.com for all the details and ticket information.

I am so happy to reconnect with Vivian Howard. Stay tuned for our chat. Today's show is presented

by J.W. Marriott. Nature is healing. Those words may come up often as an internet meme

in all of our social feeds, but there is truth to be found there. Research has shown that spending

time in a natural setting can have a positive effect on our mental and emotional well-being.

At J. W. Wariott, nature is part of the brand's DNA. Founder Jay Willard Marriott treasured his daily nature walks, and his wife, Alice, was an avid gardener.
