WEBVTT - Eat like a Gilmore! 0:00:00.720 --> 0:00:17.680 I am all in, kiss you, I am all in 0:00:17.960 --> 0:00:22.480 with Scott Patterson and I heart radio podcast. L Right everybody, Uh, 0:00:22.920 --> 0:00:25.120 and we have a very special guest coming up. Christy 0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:28.479 Carlson wrote Eat like a Gilmore. She's got all of 0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:33.440 her very specific recipes from the show. She invented some 0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:35.839 of her own. There's I don't know a couple of 0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:38.519 hundreds of recipes in this book. They just Amy sent 0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:41.720 me the book, and uh, I've I've actually made a 0:00:41.720 --> 0:00:43.960 couple of these. Uh, here's the book. We've made a 0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:47.680 couple of these recipes. Uh, and they're delicious, delicious. Can't 0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:51.280 wait to talk to Christy and she will be on 0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:59.200 right after these words. Yeah, Christie, how are you doing? 0:00:59.840 --> 0:01:02.000 I'm good. How are you doing? Wait a minute, wait 0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:10.440 right off the bat here you were a stockbroker? A stockbroker, Yeah, 0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:13.520 for about a year, not not very long. And where 0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:19.400 were you stock brokering actually for Morgan Stanley Right in Burbank, 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:22.400 right by the studio in the Disney Channel building. Is 0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:28.000 that right? Yeah? That is fascinating. I had just got 0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:31.880 I had just gotten my finance degree. Um, and one 0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:34.920 of my professors was like, have you ever thought about 0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:38.400 doing this? And I was like, not really, and he said, 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:40.120 I think you'd be really good at it. So he 0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:42.679 just brought me in and I was not very good 0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:45.119 at it, but I was good with the investing part, 0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:49.920 but not people and their money are a little squishy. 0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:55.000 You know, they have to dollar cost average. What's wrong? 0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:59.720 Just do it. Nobody can predict the future. Just put 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:02.720 a little bit in every month. What's your problem. You 0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:05.680 could do it too. Anybody can do it. It's like, 0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:11.200 it's not hard getting rich. You just need twenty thirty years, right, yeah, yes, exactly. 0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:14.600 But so let me ask you enough. The bad is 0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:17.639 the FED right now? Do they need to pull the 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:20.600 trigger now, like to stave off inflation? What's going on? 0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:23.600 Why are they why? Why are they being so hesitant 0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:27.640 because the economy is in such good shape. I think 0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:31.840 I think they are hesitant now because of it's been 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:35.000 so long since they did a big raise that the 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:37.840 hysteria that will I mean, the market has already been 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:39.880 having a tough time. I think they don't want to 0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:43.560 They can do a quarter point I mean, if they're 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:47.080 gonna do if they're gonna do four to seven hikes 0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:49.679 in it in the next year, year and a half 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:52.040 two years, When the hell are they going to start? 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:54.480 I mean, it's like it's almost like they feel like 0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:58.120 like they want inflation to be a permanent fixture of 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:04.920 the economy. Maybe I really think it's something that is 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:08.400 if they If it were me, I would think, Okay, 0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:12.360 a lot of this inflation is probably supply chain oriented. 0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:15.040 So if the supply chain can sort of work itself 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:17.800 out over the next quarter or two, then there won't 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:21.720 be any need to raise the rate. So that's what 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:24.480 I would how I would look at it. Demand demand 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:26.840 is not going to change. Is supply just will be available. 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:31.040 The supply will sort of get that regulate that'll drive 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:35.120 prices back down. Okay, all right, Well, you know, I 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:39.760 guess Powell knows more better what he's doing than I do. 0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:42.920 I don't have that job that he's getting it from 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:49.280 all sides. Man, Oh my goodness. Um, but you know 0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:51.160 that's one of the areas, like to apple in I'm 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:55.000 fascinated with it, and um, you know, it's interesting. I 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:57.400 never had money, and then when I got money, I thought, 0:03:57.400 --> 0:04:00.640 oh boy, uh, there's so many people coming after it. 0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:03.920 I'd better learn how to keep it. So that's you know, 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:07.080 then you you start to educate yourself a little bit um. 0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:10.920 And the thing about getting it is you can get it, 0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:14.320 and if you don't invest it, then it's gradually eroding 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:19.039 over time. Definitely important. This is not what I was 0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:23.880 expecting to talk about with you today. What are your 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:26.839 top picks? You still like big tech or do you 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:28.520 think they're going to really take a bath in the 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:34.960 next quarter. I took a big bath this year on 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:37.839 a workhorse. I was all in, did you were you 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:41.479 in on that bandwagon? No? Is that an I p o, No, 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:47.279 it was it's a it's a they do electronic vehicles, 0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:49.640 and so everyone thought the government was going to do 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:53.440 this huge control. That's when you would definitely invest. But jeez, 0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:57.400 and they didn't and they picked in the company. So 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:07.000 it was a bad day. Oh my gosh, oh man, listen, 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:10.920 I uh, I don't know. A couple of years ago, 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:15.359 I I you know, I got very aggressive with three 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:23.320 three names, and uh two have melted down, ah horribly, 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:28.159 But one really popped. I mean, it really really popped. 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:31.000 And it's and it's you know, it's an interesting it's 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:33.359 sort of a David Goliath, David versus Glide. You know, 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:35.240 it's a. It's a big tech story where you know, 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:37.560 the big techie stole some I P. And it's like 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:40.680 the typical thing that big tech does, and I mean 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:42.480 everybody does. But they steal the I P and then 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:45.200 they you know, they change the name of the the 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:47.680 I P and then they manufacture and sell it themselves, 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:50.440 and they got caught and you know that kind of 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:52.279 a thing, and then they try to destroy the little 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:55.240 company by litigating it and delaying, delaying for years and 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:56.480 years and years and all this kind of stuff. So 0:05:56.920 --> 0:06:00.680 it's interesting things going on in big heck. So I 0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:05.160 you know, I took and it's interesting how you invest 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:09.440 per your personality and your experience, and I took. You know, 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:12.720 I was never a goliath, always at David, and I 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:16.960 took the David's side worked out and it continues and 0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:20.000 it continues to work out. It's like there really isn't 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:22.400 justice in the world, and there's justice in the investing world. 0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:27.200 So I know, um, that's what they always say to 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:30.479 do is and you're I mean, exactly what you're saying 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:34.760 is right. You picked a few things, you diversified, and 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:37.400 when one is down, or a couple are down, the 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:40.400 other one should carry you so so that you're never 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:44.720 so far in the weeds that you can't recover right, right, 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:48.000 exactly right. You know. I wanted to get into this 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:51.760 on a on a on a sort of introductory level 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:54.800 for people, because they don't teach you about investing or 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:59.440 or finance in school, and they should. I mean, the 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:06.000 financial literacy is a massive problem and people and I 0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:08.919 never knew how to invest. And you know, you know, 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:10.800 I do the same thing everybody does, know that has 0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:13.480 any any bit of knowledge about investing, is they go back, 0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:16.600 you know, these big names, they're high flying stocks, and 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:19.720 they're multiple hundreds, multiple thousand dollars, and they go, oh, 0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:21.400 I you know, I could have got that for six 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:28.520 cents in darn it. Inside is always um, but you can't. 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:30.800 But you can't let that guide you. But yeah, I 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:33.760 just think people need to really understand what money is, 0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:35.680 and I think a lot of people don't understand what 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:40.040 money represents and what it what it can do for you. Um. 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:44.720 So yeah, it seems very intimidating, it does. You know, 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:47.239 it's a far it's far more complex than I ever realized, 0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:50.560 but it's also at the same time far more simple. Um. 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:54.640 And you know, people like you and professional uh investment 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:59.760 advisors really simplify the process. UM. So I was so 0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:02.080 I I was wanting to to write a book about 0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:05.040 that or consult with somebody, UM because I think it's 0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:08.080 really really important to get something into the curriculum at 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:13.360 schools so that people really understand what you know, compounded 0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:15.480 interest is. I mean if you if if you were 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:18.280 seven or eight years old and you understood the power 0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:22.080 of compounded interest, it would it would inspire you to 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:24.880 learn more about what investing. You know, what does this 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:29.480 what does this diversification mean? You know, in in stocks 0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:32.360 and bonds and real estate? What what does it mean? 0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:35.120 And how do we you know what does uh you know, 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:39.080 risk aversion mean? What what does that mean? And what 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:41.720 does risk off trades mean versus risk on trades? What 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:44.360 does it mean? And you know, money is fascinating. It 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:48.960 is absolutely cycles of money globally are It's absolutely fascinating. 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:51.600 And the one thing I find disturbing is people are 0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:58.840 really attacking right now the monetary system um um capitalism 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:00.839 per se because you know, have a whole generation of 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:03.880 people that grew up in really trying times, you know, 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:08.400 during the two thousand seven UH the subprime crisis, right, 0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:12.480 so you can't blame them, but wouldn't it be better, uh, 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:17.000 you know, to to really educate yourself on what money 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:20.360 does and what it really represents. Anyway, this I have 0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:23.200 been a huge proponent of this for many years, that 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:25.600 that we teach about all of these things that are 0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:29.800 important in school, but these really critical life skills are 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:33.520 sort of missing. And and you say seven or eight, 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:35.439 and a lot of people might hear that and think, well, 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:37.720 that's way too young to start up talking about money, 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:40.000 But I don't think it is. We start teaching kids 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:43.800 about recycling and all of these other sort of high 0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:47.560 concept ideas, I don't think. I think kids are ready 0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:50.400 to learn at that age. And if you just break 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:53.360 it down and make it like gamify it, make it 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:58.120 something fun, then you just instill start instilling those values 0:09:58.160 --> 0:10:02.720 and those those that understanding early on. And I'm actually 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:05.520 a big fan of the apps that they have rolled 0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:08.400 out in the past few years because it doesn't require 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:12.080 you to buy a hundred shares of IBM, you know, 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:16.160 for ten or fifteen thousand dollars. You can get in 0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:19.160 there for a hundred bucks, five bucks or whatever. It 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:21.120 gives you a chance to sort of dip your toe 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:24.920 in and get comfortable with it. So I I love 0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:27.120 your idea. I think a book would be great. Yeah, 0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:33.000 you know. Anyway, Um, well you're here because you wrote 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:37.760 and had published. And by the way, I think I 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:43.000 spoke with your publishing house about doing an autobiography. Who 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:47.880 published your book? Yeah, I talked to sky Horse do it? 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:51.040 Are you gonna do it? I'm not gonna do it now. 0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:56.040 We couldn't make the deal. We could not make the deal. Yeah, 0:10:56.280 --> 0:11:03.840 it's kind of a funky deal. They're they're they're you know, look, 0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:07.720 I get what they have to lay out to to 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:09.640 do to print and to do all this stuff. I 0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:12.040 get it, but I mean it's just it was just absurd. 0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:16.320 The whole thing was absurd. Are you gonna Are you 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:18.559 gonna try it with another publishing I don't know. Yeah, 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:21.120 I mean I'm talking to the bunch of people. Yeah, 0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:23.439 um that would be great, But then I have to 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:24.880 sit down and actually write it, and I don't know 0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:27.640 if I want to do that anyway. Um where are 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:33.800 you write? Uh? So you listen, listen, I got this cookbook. Okay, 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:39.360 you've got it? Yeah, eat like wow, And let me 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:43.160 tell you something I'm I love to cook, and I 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:45.360 do a lot of cooking for my family because I 0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:47.800 just relaxes me. It's one It's one of these things 0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:51.600 that that relaxes me. And there's all these really great 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:57.120 and even very simple, easy, easily explained, and brilliant recipes 0:11:57.160 --> 0:12:00.520 in here. Look, Mac and she be for rown all 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:04.720 this stuff that I am familiar with. But it but 0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:07.680 but you're putting, you know, you're adding these extra layers, 0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:12.160 and it's all very easily explained, look easily laid out. 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:15.760 It's wonderful. So I sit here and I cook with this, 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:19.640 like the high tea cucumber mint sandwiches. Who would ever 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:22.880 think to make these? I made these the other day? 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:26.439 You did? Yeah, you got peanut peanut butter and jelly 0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:30.840 sandwiches and and Sana Santa burger. What else? What we 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:33.640 have mock turtle soup? I mean, just one. I can't 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:36.080 wait to really I mean I've done a couple of these. 0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:38.080 I can't wait to really get into this book. So 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:42.040 tell us tell us some you know, how did you 0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:43.640 come to this side? Why how did you come up 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:46.640 with the idea in the first place. I just wanted it. 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:49.360 I wanted it for myself. I mean I watched the 0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:53.160 show from the very beginning in two thousand and food 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:57.520 is everywhere and in the town, it's Friday night dinner. 0:12:57.520 --> 0:13:00.480 It's built into that, It's built into Luke's Diners, Suki's 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:03.680 this chef, so there's all of this food everywhere, and 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:05.640 so as someone who likes to cook like you do, 0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:07.960 I was always thinking, when are they going to come 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:10.800 out with a cookbook? And then they never did, and 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:15.439 I they kind of teased one because very early days 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:18.120 on the website there was a little section that said 0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:24.120 Suki's recipes, like this is ancient history, and I remember 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:27.040 seeing like two or three recipes for pretty basic stuff, 0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:28.880 and I thought, Okay, they're gonna come out with a 0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:35.280 with a cookbook, but it never came. So fifteen years later, um, 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:38.840 I just launched a Kickstarter and thinking I want to 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:41.200 make these recipes for myself, maybe there are a few 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:44.360 other fans out there who want them too, And then 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:50.200 it just like ballooned into this big, huge thing. It 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:53.760 It was covered in BuzzFeed and then Food and Wine 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:56.760 and and the News and all of these places picked 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:59.240 up the story. And so I found out that there 0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:01.679 are a lot of fellow fans out there who wanted 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:05.480 a cookbook, and so eat like a Gilmore was born. 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:07.320 It was pretty amazing. How long did it take it 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:10.920 to to compile all these recipes and and we're there, 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:12.959 you know, ten times many recipes, and you had to 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:15.720 you had to kill your favorite children as it were, 0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:17.560 you know, and and and and come up with these 0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:21.280 um for this cook For the first cookbook, I wanted 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:23.600 to make sure to get in almost all of the 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:27.320 iconic recipes, things like mock turtle soup, Founder's Day Punch, 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:30.040 Johnny Machette, all of this stuff, because I knew that's 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:33.760 what we all wanted as fans. And then I sort 0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:37.760 of wanted to to use those as foundation recipes and 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:40.520 then build around them with things that would actually make 0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:43.360 a cookbook that people would want to use for real life, 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:47.320 not just some gimmicky thing. So there were a few, 0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:50.880 you know, I probably started with a hundred and thirty options, 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:53.400 and I whittled it down. Some of recipes I just 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:55.880 couldn't get to work. Some of them didn't taste very good, 0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:59.880 so um, So I got down to I think a 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:02.040 hundred and four hundred and five somewhere in that. But 0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:04.320 then there's a second book and actually I have a 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:09.080 third book coming out on August two. The food is 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:14.280 just unending in this show. Wow. Yeah, Um, so did 0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:17.280 you did? Did did your publisher send you on a 0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:19.040 little bit of a tour? Did you go out and 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:22.040 meet the people and do book signings or was it 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:26.080 on that level or no? I Um, I scheduled a 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:29.000 tour for myself. I did a southern California tour of 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:31.640 Barnes and Nobles. Good for you and m got to 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:34.000 meet a lot of fans and talk about the show 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:36.320 and take pictures and all that fun stuff. It was 0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:39.760 really so you picked up the phone yourself, You called 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:43.040 the local Barns and Nobles says, hey, what do you 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:46.160 think about this? And the minute they heard Gilmore, they're like, yes, 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:49.840 let's do it right. Well, you know, I waited. I 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:51.880 didn't do the tour until the book had been out 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:56.440 for a year, so they already knew the book. And um, 0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:58.480 you know, it was before the holidays when I knew 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:03.200 all the Gilmore's were in like fall Gilmore mode, and um, 0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:05.480 it was fun. It was just really fun. That's great. 0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:09.200 And so the people came out and they loved it 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:12.440 and anything associated with Gilmore people that fans just love it. 0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:16.040 They just love it and they just love it. And 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:18.400 what was really nice is, Um, I had met a 0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:21.520 few of the cast members at the fan fest, and 0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:23.920 so each time I went out to a Barnes and Noble, 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:27.000 someone came with me, like either Aires came with me, 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:29.800 or Rose came with me, or Reni came with me. 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:33.000 So I got to sit and chat with them and 0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:35.760 get to know them better, and it was really fun, 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:39.320 huh and very very interesting. Let me see, we have 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:45.680 some fan questions here. Um. This is Maryland from San Antonio. 0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:50.040 What is your favorite recipe in the book? Well, you 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:53.600 mentioned it earlier. I am very partial to the Bifferoni rest. 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:57.440 I think we're gonna have that tonight. You actually, because 0:16:57.680 --> 0:16:59.840 it's Uh. I love that kind of food, but I 0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:02.640 don't like eating it with all the preservatives and stuff 0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:06.120 in it. So knowing that it's all whole ingredients, is 0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:12.080 it tastes very similar and feels better to eat? Yeah? Okay, Uh, 0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:16.320 this is Charlie from Seattle. Suki had such incredible food. 0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:21.320 Was there anything that was really tough to recreate? Yes? 0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:26.879 I have yet to create the basket made out of 0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:33.560 a pretzel stuffed with goat cheese. Oh my goodness not Yeah, 0:17:33.640 --> 0:17:35.760 I haven't done that yet. Still working on that one. Okay, 0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:39.040 let us let us know when it's ready. Uh uh. 0:17:39.080 --> 0:17:45.199 This is Joshua from Delaware. He doesn't say where. What 0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:49.879 are some examples of recipes on Luke's diner menu, I 0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:53.000 guess that you have in the book. Well, we know 0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:56.960 the Santa Burger, Yeah, the Santa Burgers in there. Um 0:17:57.040 --> 0:18:01.200 all of the diner food, the pumpkin pancakes that Luke 0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:07.480 makes with the cinnamon butter and the um it just pancakes, 0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:11.080 the Monte Cristo sandwich, all the Lukes diner favorite but 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:15.199 Luke's really Luke's yours, Like this is a great area here, 0:18:15.240 --> 0:18:20.040 but Luke's is very um unique, and that Luke also 0:18:20.200 --> 0:18:23.760 cooks at home, So Luke there's more depth to his 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:27.440 abilities and his cooking style than the diner sort of 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:30.640 lets on. So there are also things like Luke bakes 0:18:30.720 --> 0:18:33.880 his own focaccia bread, so there's a Lukes focaccia bread 0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:37.280 recipe in there. And he also makes like a lamb 0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:40.920 stew for Laura Lai and so that recipe is in there, 0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:44.399 so it's sort of has a wider spectrum than the 0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:48.640 Emily dinners or the Suki recipes. Sort of a very 0:18:48.680 --> 0:18:51.520 interesting character in that way. Have you been contact and 0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:55.359 this from me? Uh, I'm Scott from Los Angeles, UM, 0:18:55.560 --> 0:19:00.400 that's a question. Uh actually from New Jersey, but I'm 0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:04.480 in Los Angeles. Now. Have you been contacted by any 0:19:05.359 --> 0:19:10.840 manufacturers to strike a deal to have any of these 0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:16.840 products mass marketed? That's a great question. I have not. 0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:23.320 I loosely had an idea to UM two package Founder's 0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:26.840 Day Punch because it's a lot of ingredients and I 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:30.760 think it would be easier to I mean, I don't know. 0:19:30.960 --> 0:19:33.440 It's an alcoholic beverage, so that might be hard, but 0:19:33.880 --> 0:19:36.439 I thought it would be a really fun one. But 0:19:36.800 --> 0:19:40.159 I have not. Let's in Founder's Day Punch, just the 0:19:40.200 --> 0:19:45.120 basic ingredients. What what what alcohol? It's several different alcohols. 0:19:45.240 --> 0:19:47.000 I think it's I haven't made it in a while, 0:19:47.119 --> 0:19:55.399 but brandy vodka, uh, some pineapple juice, some passion fruit 0:19:56.560 --> 0:19:59.879 um juice, things like that. But it ends up taste 0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:04.600 like uh, fruity summer beverage that doesn't have any alcohol 0:20:04.640 --> 0:20:08.920 in it at all. Right, right. Um okay. So this 0:20:09.000 --> 0:20:15.960 is from Carla from what is this? Oh Phoenix? The 0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:19.040 book goes into how to make the perfect cup of coffee? Oh, 0:20:19.080 --> 0:20:21.800 now you get into my area. What is the most 0:20:21.840 --> 0:20:26.000 important step to making the perfect cup of coffee? Already 0:20:26.000 --> 0:20:28.360 know the answer to this? What what is it? Well? 0:20:28.520 --> 0:20:34.320 I think it's starting with a clean everything, a clean pot, 0:20:34.840 --> 0:20:40.680 a clean water vessel, clean everything. Water, It's the most 0:20:40.720 --> 0:20:47.440 important thing. Water. Um okay. This is from Eli from 0:20:47.520 --> 0:20:50.480 San Diego. What kind of dishes are offered at al 0:20:50.920 --> 0:20:56.960 Al's Pancake World? I didn't do many El's recipes, but 0:20:57.040 --> 0:20:59.200 I didn't. You know, lor L and Rory come home 0:20:59.200 --> 0:21:02.160 one day and they can instantly are guessing which international 0:21:02.200 --> 0:21:04.560 food they have in the bag, and they always guess Moroccan. 0:21:05.200 --> 0:21:11.400 So I did a Moroccan recipe in the cookbook. Um okay. 0:21:11.400 --> 0:21:15.800 This is from Dana from this I can't see this 0:21:16.359 --> 0:21:23.480 uh Minneapolis? Okayple um. So this she's asking she's a 0:21:23.480 --> 0:21:27.160 beginner in the kitchen, what recipe do you suggest her 0:21:27.280 --> 0:21:34.679 trying as a beginner? You know, the beverages are very 0:21:34.720 --> 0:21:40.679 accessible for any level of expertise, and also some of 0:21:40.720 --> 0:21:46.160 the more short order recipes from Luke's. The sandwiches like um, 0:21:46.240 --> 0:21:51.120 the patty melt or the tuna melt, or just anything 0:21:51.160 --> 0:21:54.000 that's quick and easy to make where it's just bread 0:21:54.200 --> 0:21:58.600 and whatever the ingredients the insides are made of. Those 0:21:58.600 --> 0:22:03.440 are pretty pretty easy to start with. Okay, um, and 0:22:03.680 --> 0:22:07.119 how many so have you? Have you tried all of 0:22:07.160 --> 0:22:10.359 these recipes? Have you had served your maid and served 0:22:10.359 --> 0:22:14.760 yourself everything in this book multiple times? All of the recipes? 0:22:14.920 --> 0:22:17.680 So I had to try some of them. I tried 0:22:17.720 --> 0:22:19.399 a couple of times. Some of them I had to 0:22:19.440 --> 0:22:22.840 try ten or eleven twelve times because I just couldn't 0:22:22.840 --> 0:22:24.760 get it the way I wanted it.
