Katie chats with Lindsey Metselaar, the host of the popular dating and relationship podcast, We Met at Acme. Lindsey is a new mom and recounts her journey of IVF, pregnancy and motherhood life. They discuss their hilarious food cravings, like Velveeta grilled cheese and endless bagels, and the gift of pregnancy.

Katie talks to Lindsey about her life before she was married and how she started We Met at Acme. Long story short, on Lindsey’s 27th birthday her boyfriend at the time dumped her and she was truly frustrated with dating in New York City to say the least. She began telling her dating stories and interviewing friends about theirs, and the podcast steadily grew. Now in the show’s eighth year, Lindsey has interviewed all kinds of different people from celebrities and influencers, to dating coaches and therapists to share advice on the topic.

Lindsey recommends that using a dating app is a great tool to have in your pocket if you are single, and gives ways to keep the romance alive in your relationship or marriage. She also shares her sometimes controversial rules of dating.

When it comes to food, Lindsey also has a popular Instagram account called @dontexpectsalads. She shares her love of tuna melts, where to find the best chicken fingers in NYC, as well as her top pizza slice in the city.

Listen in for an episode all about relationship advice whether you are single, committed, or married, as well as for some great bites in NYC.

Katie chats with Lee Schrager, the founder of both the South Beach and New York City Wine and Food Festivals, and the Chief Communications Officer of Southern Glazer’s Wine and Spirits, the largest wine and liquor distributor in the country.  

Lee describes his fascinating career path, from studying at the famed Culinary Institute of America, to working at the original Dean and Deluca in NYC and the Hamptons, to owning and operating the first gay bar in South Beach (frequented by Gianni Versace and many supermodels), and how it lead him to develop two iconic food festivals.

Katie is joined by Jeff Mauro, her co-host of Food Network’s The Kitchen, aka The Sandwich King. Jeff hails from the great city of Chicago where he developed a love of food early on in his Italian-American family, working in local delis and butcher shops. Early on in school, Jeff discovered his passion for acting and comedy, which lead him to perform with both Piven Theater Workshop and Second City.

Jeff tells the hilarious story of his time acting in Tony and Tina's Wedding, slowly working his way up from waiter to Tony over a period of five years, and the night he quite literally knocked the audience dead. He also shares his love story with his wife, Sarah Mauro. 

After a short move to LA to pursue comedy and simultaneously attending culinary school, he auditioned for Next Food Network Star. He didn't make the cut the first time around, but Jeff did not give up, and auditioned an additional three times before he competed and won season 7 of the show. Jeff then hosted his signature show, Sandwich King, and was later cast on The Kitchen and several other Food Network productions.

He has since expanded his empire with Mauro Provisions, his own gourmet line of Chicago classics like his famous giardiniera and Chicago Italian beef kits, available in retail and online. Listen for an episode of nonstop laughs (be forewarned, if you can't handle bathroom humor!) and great memories with Jeff and Katie.
