We’re so excited to have a special guest for this episode: Quin at Butter Be Ready! We’re running down the Black Food Blogger’s Retreat in New Orleans and the *MANY* places we ate at. Then we have a crazy amount of hot topics — everything from Snoop Dogg’s cookbook to wildfire raisins, to meatless legislation, to 40oz Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Quin shares her disdain for the microwave, recounts her hideous school lunches in Florida, and comes correct with an excellent Instacrush. As always we have our Instacrushes and things we love, hate, and ate.
