In this episode of "Hey Sis, Eat This," we sit down with the hilarious comedy dou, The Sklar Brothers, Jason and Randy, to discuss their journey through comedy and how their upbringing played a huge role in their success, today.
Jason and Randy delve into their childhood in St. Louis, sharing how their very funny father’s offbeat parenting methods not only influenced but encouraged their comedic paths. However, the true STAR of this episode is their Momma Annette, whose remarkable story includes her family's escape from the Holocaust and the heart-wrenching experience of losing a child. The brothers lovingly depict how these challenges shaped her resilience, her nurturing spirit and the immense gratitude she’s always had for the life they live.
The Sklar family dinner table was filled with lots of laughter and love. According to Randy and Jason, the simple act of gathering around the table is what instilled accountability and communication within their household, a tradition the brothers continue in their homes today.
It wouldn’t be a Hey Sis Episode if we didn’t highlight Momma Annette’s signature recipe. The boys favorite dish, hands down, is her Mayfair dip, an anchovy-based dressing created at the Mayfair Hotel in downtown St. Louis. It was first served in the hotel's restaurant, The Mayfair Room, the first five-star restaurant in Missouri. This tightly guarded recipe that Momma Annette has turned into a dip remains a culinary staple for every Sklar family gathering.
During the rapid-fire questions segment, Momma Annette makes a surprise cameo. Not only does she refuse to answer who her favorite twin is, she also refuses to share her famous Mayfair dip recipe after we beg for it.
The hilarious Sklar brothers and the adorable Momma Annette provide a heartfelt look into how her life experiences instilled in her sons not only a profound sense of gratitude but also the ability to find humor in even the toughest situations, proving that life’s struggles can be a powerful source of inspiration for laughter and love.
