Summary

Hi I’m Margie Nomura and welcome to another episode of our side dish: The Dream Dinner Party. This is the mini episode where we invite a guest to tell us all about their dream dinner party. This is a game I know a lot of people have played on long car journeys or maybe first dates so it’s really fun to sit down with a different guest each week and hear who they would invite and what they would serve. You’re allowed to invite 4 people – anyone you want, and I think its impossible to listen without thinking of your own answers


This week we have Matt Rodbard who is a critically lauded writer, editor and author of food and culture books s well as the host of the this is taste podcast – a show which features culturally relevant and surprising discussions about food and drink. There’s nothing matt doesn’t know about restaurants and what’s hot – so it was fun to sit down with him and talk all about dinner parties and his dream dinner party.

Thank you so much for listening, and thank you to Kru Cafe coffee for sponsoring this weeks episode. You can find them online at crukafe.com where you can currently get 50% off their discovery box.
