This week, we are joined by a good friend to discuss all things related to Valentine's Day. From its history, our own traditions, to our feelings surrounding food that invoke feelings of love, Kaitlin adds some laughs and insights to comfort foods and cultural cuisine. We hope you have a safe and love-filled Valentine's Day, even if you don't celebrate!
Huge shout out to ChillyNick for the intro/outro music.
