Hey y'all!  I'm Trish - an obnoxiously curious journalist with a passion for all things food and wine.  As a long-time, former TV news anchor, I've been telling stories and asking questions for nearly two decades.  Now, I'm bringing you long-form, intimate interviews and fun conversations with interesting people involved in the culinary, wine, and epicurean world.  Hear unedited stories about growing up, life lessons, love, hardships, butt clench moments, successes and of course, food.  You'll hear the different paths people took to get to the now with some belly laughs, a bit of wisdom, and a lot of joy mixed in.  Hang on to the Final 3 - because they're my favorite and it's always a good time.
