In this heartfelt and festive episode of Let's Talk Food, Chef April Fontenot takes a moment to reflect on more than just what’s on the plate. She opens up about a recent emotional event in Houston, where a woman’s mental health crisis brought traffic to a halt, and a heroic officer stepped in with compassion that led to her getting the help she needed. Chef April shares how this moment inspired her to remind listeners to check in on loved ones and prioritize mental health, especially during the holidays.
Then, it's time to fire up the flavor! Chef April dives into 47 fanciful 4th of July recipes that go way beyond the typical burgers and dogs—from smoky grilled peaches to red, white & blue charcuterie boards and vibrant veggie-packed dishes that bring the fireworks to your table. Plus, she shares a few must-watch movie picks perfect for your holiday weekend wind-down.
It’s food for the soul and the stomach—don’t miss it!
