Series Life's a Banquet

“Life’s a Banquet” is an unabashedly silly food history podcast that explores the highs and lows of all things edible, spreadable and pourable. Join your hosts Nicole Bailey and Zahra Tangorra each week as we dive in to the most heartbreaking, titillating and inspiring stories in food and beverage. We explore the ups and downs of food history on LAB, to dismantle the notion in todays culinary obsessed world, that perfection is necessary to enjoy eating and drinking. Our goal is to bring some joy to our listeners each week with our story telling, both historical and personal. We offer tips and advice for home cooks, as well as a weekly rundown of our top three favorite things pertaining to the weeks topic. Cheers babes!
