In this remastered episode, to celebrate the opening of Leona's new scoop shop in Lawrenceville, we're revisiting my interview with Katie Heldstab recorded in January 2021 - during the peak of the pandemic.

Katie shares her culinary journey from Minneapolis to Wisconsin and settling in Pittsburgh, reflecting on her experiences with home cooking, humorous mishaps, and transformative culinary discoveries.

Amidst tales of food adventures, Katie also discusses the role of food during those "uncertain times", sharing anecdotes about ordering takeout during the pandemic.
