Everybody in the house say What’s The Matter With Me? Podcast! Doesn’t really roll exactly? In “The Tamis,” we’ve started down a road and we aren’t looking back behind us. The episode finds us rolling the chair around Berkeley, thinking molecular gastronomy and cooking while disabled.

Party on, party people: let me hear you touch the ground! In “Cooking,” What’s The Matter With Me? Podcast has all the pots on, the gas is burning and we’re ready to go. This episode touches on cooking through limitations, self-imposed or otherwise (like a disability), with a trip to the military-industrial grocery store we know and love as Target, cooking @christinatosi with the kids and watching @majordomomedia food TV.

For those interested, whether by absolute necessity or purely whimsical flights of fancy, in taking a different look at food, I recommend majordomo media and it’s warren of YouTube channels. They make stuff with extremely unpretentious approaches, some of which are more-or-less accessible. At least. it’s a different type of food tv, a bridge between daytime cooking shows and food influencers. It’s refreshing.

Otherwise you’ll have to watch the I love Diet Coke guy.
