Amuse News

Our conversation with Julia and John covers a ton of ground – from the Atlanta restuarant scene and non-alcoholic cocktails to solitude and skin care.

Julia Bainbridge was most recently Food Editor of Atlanta Magazine, and is an accomplished writer with work in everything from Bon Appetit to Playboy. She's the creator and host of The Lonely Hour, a podcast about loneliness–but it’s not a bummer. Julia has created a space to talk openly in hopes of both de-stigmatizing loneliness and underscoring the joys of solitude.

John’s one of the biggest cocktail and bar experts out there. He got his start at PDT, and has spent many years with Momofuku. He is now working on writing his debut book and creating a nonprofit that will improve the daily lives of professional restaurant workers.

Stick around for a special round of trivia: JdB tweet or Any Rooney quote!

This week, rather than have our usual weekly roundup of food news and a special guest, we’re instead going to take this opportunity to promote one of our newest shows, Inside Julia’s Kitchen. The show centers on the famous “French Chef” herself, as well as carrying on her legacy of sharing bright and exciting discoveries in the food world. It’s hosted by the Julia Child Foundation’s own Executive Director, Todd Schulkin, who describes Julia’s famous kitchen as being the co-star for her many successful television shows, and where Julia cooked, experimented, and shared the many joys and wonders of cooking with thousands.

It's the season premiere of HRN Happy Hour! We ease into the new year by admitting that sometimes it’s really hard to be happy in the middle of winter. For many, January is a brutal mix of post-holiday exhaustion, New Year resolution pressure, terrible weather, and seasonal affective disorder. We welcome a guest who is always vocal about mental health and the perfect person to talk about self-care techniques during this often-difficult time of year: Kat Kinsman!

Kat is the Senior Food and Drinks Editor at Time Inc.’s all-breakfast site Extra Crispy, the author of Hi, Anxiety: Life With a Bad Case of Nerves, a Certified Barbecue Judge, and a proud member of the Southern Foodways Alliance. She pulls up a chair and joins us for citrusy mocktails (it's Dry January after all), shares some of the latest news at Extra Crispy, and gives us her New Orleans food and drink playbook so we can look forward to warmer days ahead!
