If you’re looking to elevate your holiday celebrations, this episode of Arch Eats is a must-listen. Join George Mahe and Cheryl Baehr as they dive into the heart of seasonal delights. The duo shares the secrets to turkey that’s so good, you won’t even need the sides. Get tips on where to find the best fresh turkeys, preparation techniques and cooking methods (“Brining is like insurance—you should just do it.”), and a secret ingredient for crispier skin. Cat Neville, producer and host of Nine Networks’ Emmy-winning show tasteMAKERS, also shares her insights on Missouri wines.
