For Emily Fanjoy, cooking is about more than what's on the plate—it's about where the food comes from and who she shares it with.
Emily's cooking experience is truly unique, shaped by her place-based approach. She grows much of her food on the Oregon coast and gathers with her community through a tradition called "Work Party," where one host feeds 15 to 20 neighborhood friends. This approach to food feels grounded, thoughtful, and deeply connected to the people and places around her.
In this conversation, Emily offers a glimpse into the rhythms that shape the way she cooks, eats, and gathers. I can't wait for you to hear her story and the philosophy behind her approach to food.
🫶 I hope you enjoy listening to Emily's story as much as I did. Cheers, and happy listening!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
