    Talkin’ Green Bean Casserole: History of a Thanksgiving classic
    Dave Hoekstra talks with Catherine Lambrecht of the Greater Midwest Foodways Alliance, who shares the historical culinary lineage of the staple Thanksgiving side dish, Green Bean Casserole. Dorcas Reilly, who is credited with creating the ‘classic’ recipe of the casserole, passed away in October.

    Also joining the show is former Sun-Times columnist Bill Linden, who wrote an ode the dish in 2000, that was recently reprinted in the paper in tribute to Reilly.

    My willingness to come to Chicago on the day before Thanksgiving probably got me in the door. I did a shoot yesterday with WGN-TV on colorful fruit salads and Jello molds.

    For this event, I made Watergate Salad, Lily Salad and my family's favorite jello mold with dark bing cherries the featured fruit.

    It will be on WGN News at 9:00 PM tonight.

    ***

    I heard from several people yesterday I was mentioned by Monica Eng about cooking Thanksgiving turkey directly from the freezer. I might have heard it myself, but I was busy listening for traffic updates.

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    Yay, Cathy. Great spot, even if the subject matter is...less than appetizing.

    I was at an early T-Giving family dinner in Iowa last weekend in a church basement, and they brought out that green s**t. Tasted decent until the curdly texture of cottage cheese hit me. Yecch!

    You could probably make cannibalism sound desirable, my dear. Bravo!

    In 2019 I picked up a recipe: Pot Roast a la RBG, as recorded in prose by the Justice's daughter Jane Ginsburg and set to music by Canadian composer Vivian Fung.

    Part of a show created by wonderful soprano Patrice Michaels, Howard Reich gave us a nice review in the Tribune ("And tenor Matthew Dean brought an aptly light touch to Vivian Fung's Pot Roast"), and then also named our concert one of the best classical performances of the year.

    What I particularly love is the vivid description of a culinary artifact in the Ginsburg marriage:

    Brown a hunk of brisket / in the reddish-orange cast iron pot / received as a wedding present / no doubt by someone who little suspected / the rueful purpose to which it would be put


    Relishing every chance for musical and food worlds in the same orbit, we'll be reprising this show throughout this (2020) year, from March 8 in Skokie to July in Knoxville and then a run at a certain important summer convention in Wisconsin. More details for those interested are here.

    By remarkable coincidence*, I happened to catch a radio segment featuring a certain Barbecue Life Coach we all know. Reset from WBEZ aired an interview with Gary Wiviott about Chicago barbecue today. Unfortunately, the audio had some problems toward the beginning and it was over the phone shortly after but most of it was OK and pretty cool content.

    Listen here:
    WBEZ.org link

    *The number of Friday late mornings I might be in the car & listening to WBEZ is probably like one every five years. I don't listen to the radio at work and had to run out from the office to do an errand this morning. I happened to get into the car right around 11 as the show was starting and the host mentioned the BBQ segment with 'a local pitmaster' but I was disappointed that I probably wouldn't be able to hear it. I was back in the car sooner than expected and I was able to listen to the entire thing on the way back to work.

    Initially they had me do Facetime audio, which I did not even know was a thing. When we switched to regular phone call it was better, though still not great.

    Was fun, I love chatting about BBQ.:) Thanks for posting the link.

    Chicago’s Signature Sandwich, Italian Beef, Gets a Multicultural Update (in the NYT)

    This is a two-fer: David Hammond and moi Catherine Lambrecht aka Cathy2 are referred to in this article.

    I was sorry the reporter apparently did not catch up with Pat Scala, though I did point them to George R's report when Pat Scala spoke to Culinary Historians of Chicago in 2004. Unfortunately, it was four years away from when we began podcasting.

    A lot of what I told her was mingled in other's comments, so it was covered indirectly. Of course, I learned just about everything about Italian beef from CHowhound-LTHforum. Honestly, I never knew it was a Chicago thing. My parents are more hot dog oriented.
