Speaker 1 (00:00):
Getting through feb is a big deal and it all
it always means a Scott mentioned earlier that we must
be getting close to spring when the Home Show is on.
The Omaha Home and Garden Expo kicks off tomorrow and
runs through Sunday and featuring this year Julia Davison, who
(00:21):
is you probably have seen on America's Test Kitchen and
joins us for a few minutes this morning. Julia, how
are you?
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Good morning. I'm looking forward to some warmer weather.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Yeah, where are you?
Speaker 2 (00:34):
I'm in Boston and it's just starting to reach the
forties here. What is it over there?
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Thirty eight? Now, we're going to be sixty today. But
when you're when you're here, we're going to get a
little Well, you'll be here tomorrow yep, yep. Sixty two tomorrow,
forty three Saturday, and fifty some Sunday. So not bad.
What are you going to be cooking for us at
the Home Show?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Well, it's the Home Show shoe. You were really quick.
It's called a skillet pasta, and that's where you take
pasta and you cook it right in a skillet with
all the other things. It's a really simple midweek way
to get supper on the table, which is something I'm
constantly battling. But I'm also going to give a little
behind the scenes of what it's like to film a
TV show. And of course, at America's test kits and
(01:19):
we test products. So we test equipment and we taste
test ingredients, and we do it on our own. We
don't have any sponsors, so we were able to say
what we really think. And I'm going to bring some
of our favorite piece of equipment and some of our
favorite products, like the best olive oil, the best chicken broth,
the best nonstick skillet, the best knife, and so on.
So I'll talk a little bit about that, and then
(01:40):
we'll have a book signing.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
And you're not captive to any of these products, right,
You just tell us what you think of them.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
That's it. We're kind of like Consumer Reports in a
way that we buy all our own stuff, we really
vet it and test it thoroughly, and then we say
what we really think, and yeah, we don't get any
cutbacks from any of these companies'd be.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Great having Julia in town here at the Home show.
She's doing shows Tomorrow night at seven, Saturday at four,
and then Sunday at one point thirty Julia, is it
tough to be a world renowned chef when the majority
of Americans think the greatest thing and I'm not saying
they're wrong, The greatest thing that's ever been is a
dollar box of Kraft macaroni and cheese.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Can I tell you I have one of those in
my covered right now because it's my daughter's absolute favorite. No.
You know what I'm I'm a home cook, and that's
what we do. We teach home cooks. You know what
I means. I'm that I'm going to restaurant cook. I
want people to learn how to cook a proper chicken
breast so that it's flavorful and not dry, that it
actually has some moisture and it has taste like something.
(02:44):
Box mac and cheese. Yeah, it's fine, But I can
also teach you how to make it from scratch. It's
not that hard and it eliminates a bunch of chemicals.
Although I totally appreciate how fast the box is, you
know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Yeah, Scott likes the orange powder cheese. Yeah, actually it's
pretty good. I like my food have a nuclear tint
to it. Hey, you know, I was going to ask
you something because you you do show people on on
America's Test, Catch and how to Cook. Remember when the
when the Food Network first came on, there were a
(03:15):
lot of shows. Emerald was the big star, but there
were a lot of shows where where the host chef
would actually cook things and show you how to do it.
It seems like now it's always competition, you know, and
I guess that's kind of fun in a way, but uh,
but I missed those shows.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Yeah, the shows where you kind of just walk through
how to cook something. To that, I agree, competitions are
fun and it's it's a theme, you know. I think
it's probably here to stay, which is which is good
fun and you can pick some like things up watching
those shows, but that's not the point Cook's Country and
America's Test gets in my show. Also, Julia at Home
(03:54):
really slows down and shows you how to cut an onion,
how to see your chicken breast, which I think is
you know, just instructional. And our shows are on PBS,
which again is all about educational programming, so it all,
it all kind of makes sense.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Is there any way to cut an onion without crying?
Without crying unless you put a.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Oh, are you a crier.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Oh, all the fumes from that thing.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Yeah, So the thing is that you got to prevent
those fumes from hitting your eyes. So if you were
contacts most contact wearers aren't criers. You can put a
fan up and kind of blow some air over the
onion so that doesn't eat your eyes. Goggles wearing these
things they're called so well goggles with gaskets around each
(04:38):
eye socket, and it prevents the fumes from getting you.
So yeah there, I mean that's that's a couple of
ways we've tried. You know, there's some some tails out there,
like you can hold a burnt match in your between
your teeth to prevent it. That just means you smoking
your eyes. Not that doesn't work. Yeah, we've tried a bunch.
The fan works, Okay, the goggles were great, and the
(05:00):
one tip, if your eyes are really stinging, you can
stick your head in the freezer. I've done this and
the cold air really is quite soothing.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Yeah. Sounds like a lot of work, but whatever. Okay,
those times again for Julia Scott.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Yeah, she's gonna be at the Home and Garden Expo
tomorrow night at seven o'clock Saturday, four pm Sunday at
one thirty. Everything is at Showoffice online dot com. Just
google the Omaha Home and Garden Expo.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Great, Julia, welcome to Ama. Have you ever been here before?
Speaker 2 (05:30):
No, I'm looking forward to checking it out. I'm taking
restaurant reviews because and I have a friend who lived
in Omaha, so I've got a good list going. I'm
posting on Instagram on my page asking where i should
go eat. So if you have any suggestions, I'm open.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Brother Sebastian is always number one for me if you're
looking for a good steakhouse.
