Show Notes
Spring is here, and we’re taking things outside. This week on Flavorphiles, we’re throwing the ultimate Garden Party—from what to grow, to what to drink, to what actually belongs on your table.
We kick things off with our Amuse Booze: a classic sour cocktail, a smash, and a highball that unlock the perfect ratios you can use to create nearly endless drinks. Once you understand the balance, you don’t need recipes—just fresh ingredients, ideally pulled straight from your garden or a local farmers market.
Next, we’re joined by gardening icon Mark Cullen, who breaks down the best things to plant for a culinary garden, why gardening is as good for you as it is for your food, and why there’s really no such thing as failure in the garden.
Then, beekeeper Michelle Wolfson joins us to talk about what makes local honey so special, how anyone can help support bees (no hive required), and what it’s like transporting thousands of bees… in your car.
We wrap things up with the Garden Party Draft—Tanner and Jerry build their perfect outdoor spread. It gets a little competitive, a little excessive, and hopefully gives you a few ideas for your next gathering.

Whatever happened to the dinner party? Have we gotten too busy, too intimidated, or just too comfortable ordering takeout to invite friends over for a proper meal?
This week on Flavorphiles, Tanner and Jerry are back with a completely new Thanksgiving episode built for everything that happens after the basic advice runs out.
For Talk Like a Pirate Day, Tanner and Jerry dig into the surprisingly strange food and drink history of life at sea. We start with what pirates actually ate, why their diet could sometimes give them an advantage over the Navy, and how scurvy became one of the biggest threats aboard ship. That includes James Lind’s famous experiment testing cures ranging from cider and vinegar to seawater, citrus, and a truly questionable garlic-and-mustard concoction.
