JBF on the Air: Ruth Reichl

What happens when one of the country’s most celebrated restaurant critics and non-fiction food writers decides to switch genres? Ruth Reichl is about to find out, as her first novel, Delicious!, was just released on May 6. On last week’s episode of Taste Matters, JBF’s Mitchell Davis chats with Ruth about her move into fictional storytelling, the writing process behind the novel, and Ruth’s candid thoughts on American cuisine and food culture.

Taste Matters is a radio program dedicated to taste: as a sense, cultural construct, and culinary phenomenon. However much we talk about where our food comes from, how it’s produced, who prepares it, or what sorts of socio-cultural-political implications our food choices and eating behaviors have, taste is fundamental.

You can catch Taste Matters with Mitchell Davis live every Wednesday at 11:00 A.M. on Heritage Radio Network, or listen to the show afterwards right here on our blog. To check out past episodes, click here. Stay tuned for more!
