Tune in to this week’s _ Cooking Issues _ as host Dave Arnold is talking stabilizing simple syrups, why he hates Everclear (the alcohol, not the band… maybe the band?) and bad pistachios but loves cider! Topics of conversation also include deer ball butter, more on sweet potatoes, brining, hyper-broth hamburgers, dump meals, and lots of other cool stuff.
