Some like it hot, and some just can't resist a challenge. We start our exploration of spice in Kansas City by subjecting our intern and food critic to the Thai Hot Challenge at the Thai Place. Then, an Indian cooking instructor shares insights into the techniques, philosophies and health properties of spice. Finally, our food critics recommend the best dishes in town making exceptional use of spices, enhancing the intrinsic flavors of foods rather than masking them.
Guests:
- Patrick Quick, intern, KCUR
- Emily Farris, Feed Me Creative
- Pam Liberda, owner, The Thai Place in Westport
- Jyoti Mukharji, independent cooking instructor
- Charles Ferruzza, food writer, The Pitch
- Lou Jane Temple, chef and author
