So long and Farewell

To our loyal food loving listeners-

We have loved chatting with you every Saturday for the past 5+ years but unfortunately we must bid you adieu as our show has been cancelled. We are going to miss each and every one of you and your passion for cooking, dining and all things food-related. We hope to see you at the restaurants, and keep an eye out on www.tomdouglas.com and www.rovers-seattle.com for a possible new show as well as upcoming events.

Cheers to you and yours
-Tom, Thierry and Katie O

UH, Where's Thierry?

Thierry is out of the studio today, cooking up a storm for Garfield High School! What a lucky group of 450!

So, Tom is left to man the radio waves by his lonesome- however, he'll have plenty of friends to talk to over the phone to keep him company.

He'll let the ladies go first today: Amy Pennington will be chatting live from the gardens while she plants the tender leaf, mache. After that, we'll go straight over to producer Katie O who will be coming to us from the Pike Place Market's Ghost Tour. Spooky.

During the second hour of the show, Tom will chat with Big Ken of Big Al Brewing Company about Irish Reds and Blacks in preparation for St. Patty's Day this week. And the boozy fun doesn't stop there, because Tom will also talk with our weekly wine contributor, Mike Teer of Pike and Western Wine Shop. They'll discuss a fantastic French wine that pairs nicely with fondue.

All this, PLUS delicious/not delicious: Irish Cheese Edition, AND trivia with great prizes- including pairs of tickets to this year's Taste Washington.

Is that Tom's voice??

Tom is out of town in the Big Apple! So what does that mean for "In the Kitchen" this week? Well, I'll tell you dear listeners...

It means that Tom has brought in a substitute co-host for Thierry. Producer Katie O will be sitting in with Thierry this week to bring you a fun-filled 3 hours of shenanigans.

The duo will be chatting with our weekly Urban Pantry gal Amy Pennington about the multi-faceted, wonderful world of ROLLED OATS! The guy on the cylindrical Quaker Oatmeal box would be proud.

Mike Teer will bring us one of the most exciting pieces of wine news this year: The first rose release of the season! Tune in to hear about this favorite pink drink.

Also, hot of the heels of Tom's event Baconopolis, we'll be doing a delicious/not delicious bacon edition! Discerning palates will tell you if in fact, all bacon is as delicious as we surmise it to be.

And coming to us live from the streets of Seattle- Pamela Hinckley with the beat report. Since Katie O will be in studio, we're sending Pam out to drink on the town on Katie's behalf.

All of this craziness PLUS the trivia and giveaways (which includes a menu tasting for Thierry's new place, Luc AND tickets to this year's Taste Washington Event!)

Take a drive in the beautiful weather...

And turn your dial to Tom and Thierry. They can keep you company on this sun shiny day!

Today on the show we have a special guest- Ms. Cynthia Nims! She'll be stopping by the studio to talk to the guys about her new book, Gourmet Game Night. Sharing recipes on simple yummy foods that keep your fingers clean when you're playing Monopoly.

Amy Pennington, who's featured in Seattle Magazine's March edition, will be on the show to talk about Vermouth. What you do with it beyond making a martini is unknown to me, but she'll tell you some other useful tips for this beverage.

Mike Teer of Pike and Western Wine Shop will also be on to share with you listeners another screaming deal on a dang good wine!

And of course, producer Katie O will be out on the streets- this time stopping at The Night School at the Sorrento Hotel. She'll be drinking (again). This time it's cognac!

A Big Weekend!

It's Valentine's Day weekend... wait no, it's President's Day weekend... wait, no it's Chinese Lunar New Year... wait, no... IT'S ALL OF THOSE THINGS! And, beyond those 3 reasons to party down this weekend- it's Mardi Gras and that's what we'll be celebrating on the show. No need to take your top off because we're not throwing any beads. Instead, start working on your roux and tune in to our NOLA fun-filled program.

Of course we'll check in with last week's substitute co-host, Amy Pennington for our Urban Pantry Report. And she'll be talking about orange flower water. Why? Well, tune in and she'll tell you how it all ties into our theme!

We have a wonderful in-studio guest this week: Eric Donnelly of Toulouse Petit the brand new hit restaurant in Lower Queen Anne. He's the passionate chef behind their creole and cajun inspired menu!

Mike Teer of Pike and Western Wine Shop will be on to talk about a lovely pink sparkling wine- a nice treat for any celebration: be it Mardi Gras OR Valentine's Day.

Producer Katie O is going to travel out their into the streets of Seattle in search of some New Orleans style food herself. Where will she go?? What will she eat??? Find out soon!

Special Guest Host: Amy Pennington!

This week Tom is out of the kitchen and at the Evening of Hope Gala donning some fancy duds with his wife Jackie Cross as the honorees of this year's event, benefitting the Pike Place Market Foundation. What this means to you, dear listener, is that he will not be on the airwaves...

However! Amy Pennington, our weekly contributor will be on the program to hang out with Thierry and talk food. She'll bring a woman's touch to the show with all of her wise cracks and food know-how. Beyond talking to the guys every week about her various pantry staples, Amy has been in the food business for a LONG time and has wealth of knowledge to bestow on Saturday's show.

Amy and Thierry will talk with Andrea Nguyen, author of "Asian Dumplings" about her love of this delicious little pouches! Andrea will share with us a few recipes along with her inspirations for these delights.

Mike Teer of Pike and Western Wine Shop will also be on to talk about the 2008 J. Christopher Sauvignon Blanc!

After some trivia, they'll check in with producer Katie O, who will be with Tom and the Evening of Hope Gala. She'll give us an update on Tom and all the ruckus he's causing amongst the crowds!

What's that delicious smell??

It's Tom and Thierry cookin' it up on "In the Kitchen"!

Today's show is filled to the brim with a cornucopia of delights. After T & T get settled into their studio chairs with their headphones snuggly in place they'll catch up on this week's food news. We'll also talk with Thierry to see how his new restaurant, Luc, is moving along!

Amy Pennington, author of the soon to be released book "Urban Pantry" will be chatting with the guys about another cupboard staple: HONEY. This bee-treat can be use in a multitude of ways, and Amy's going to give you a few great examples.

Today on "Delicious/Not Delicious" Tom's worst nightmare: a kombucha tasting. This beverage, often touted as having great health benefits, will be put to the test. We've got a few different brands and flavors for Tom and Thierry to try.

We will also be graced through the phone lines by our guest, Rose Levy Beranbaum. Most people know her from her famous book, "The Cake Bible", but Rose will be on to talk about her new and acclaimed book, "Rose's Heavenly Cakes". She'll be prepping us for Valentine's day by sharing her gorgeous recipe for Rose Red Velvet Cake.

Mike Teer of Pike and Western Wine Shop will be calling in from his shop to talk about a lovely Chardonnay from the Columbia Valley. This wine was originally sold at $27.99, then it dropped to $19.99 at most retailers, but is being sold at Pike and Western for $16.99.

Producer Katie O is out tonight with her gal pals celebrating... well, the fact that it's a Saturday. She'll be coming live from a sweet little spot called the Fort St. George in the International District.

All this PLUS trivia and prize galore. Not to mention your phone calls!

Semolina, Cheese and Scotch. Oh my!
