Jamie and Leo are coming to you today from the brand new il Giallo studio in Atlanta with the first part of a very special series! Today the guys are sharing the amazing story of James Beard and talking about the origins of the James Beard House, and its foundation that helps so many in the culinary world.

In fact, Jamie has cooked there (twice!) and in this episode he reveals how he got invited to take part in this incredible experience. In the next episode you'll hear all the details about how he set up for this event, and in future weeks shows he discusses what he cooked while he was there, who helped him and even what he chose for wine pairings.

Like they say in their intro music for this podcast, Jamie and Leo are going to leave you hungry for more, so today's episode is just Part 1 of a 4-part series on the James Beard House. Stay tuned for more!

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
