On this week's episode of Let's Eat In, Cathy Erway is joined in the studio by Daniel Delaney of VendrTV and the new barbecue workshop, Brisketlab. Back in Austin, Daniel bought an eighteen foot barbecue smoker, and he's brought it to New York City to make some succulent barbecue brisket. Tune in to hear why Daniel decided to stop talking about food and start making it! Learn more about brisket, and what about the meat makes it a difficult cut to barbecue. Learn more about the goals of Brisketlab, and how the project grew so rapidly that it has become difficult to get a taste of Brisketlab's barbecue. Fire up your smoker, grab a little salt and pepper, and tune into this episode of Let's Eat In! This program has been sponsored by Tekserve.

"The craft of making barbecue is much more related to being a butcher or something like a cheesemonger than it is like being a chef. It's much less about innovation, and it's more about execution and refining a craft."

"The problem with barbecue that doesn't exist with other foods is that the iteration is super slow...How do you really refine it?" --Daniel Delaney on Let's Eat In

On today's episode of Meet Your Maker, our host Rachel Wharton is joined by Heritage Radio Network veteran Meg Paska. Meg is responsible for many New York City urban farming initiatives such as Brooklyn Homesteader and Hayseed's Big City Farmy Supply. Meg has been homesteading in Brooklyn for years now- raising chickens and rabbits, gardening, and preserving foods. What led Meg to pack her bags and leave Baltimore for Brooklyn? Tune in to learn about how Meg's past jobs made her realize her need to learn the homesteading skills of her grandparents. Do you remember the first time you ate a "real" tomato? Hear about how the truth in the fruit inspired Meg, and how she's starting a farm in New Jersey while still teaching farming and beekeeping workshops in Brooklyn! This episode has been brought to you by White Oak Pastures.

"Part of the workshop goes into managing waste and turning it into something that's valueable, starting with composting. Also, it involves finding useful materials in the waste stream and bringing them in and using them in practical way." -- Meg Paska on Meet Your Maker
