In a special “Run-On-One” Interview, we Dish with David Leite, an award-winning Food Writer and Food Historian who shares with us his epic and emotional journey to the world of Food.

David talks about his struggles with mental health issues, growing up gay in an immigrant family and how food and keeping a sense of humor showed the way.

He shares his Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe and tells us why his book is called, “Notes on a Banana.”

Run the Dish also shares, in a “Teaspoon of Trivia,” why Swiss Steak is called “Swiss” Steak. The answer may surprise you.

And, in our Fruit, Vegetable & Nut in the Spotlight (A raucous interview where we learn little or nothing and it rarely goes well) we visit  with Cashew, a naked nut with shady relatives.
