Thanksgiving is just around the bend, and with it comes the influx of family, good food, and ... chaos. The pressure to get that turkey just right or having too many cooks in the kitchen at one time can make the  holidays  more than a little stressful. On this edition of Up to Date, Steve Kraske talks with three Kansas City chefs about their tips on maintaining calm in busy kitchens and how to avoid a full-blown culinary disaster. 

Guests:

  • Ted Habiger is the executive cheg and owner of Room39 on 39th street and in Mission Farms.
  • Jennifer Maloney is the executive chef at Café Sebastienne in the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art.
  • Michael Foust is the executive chef and owner of The Farmhouse in the River Market.

When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers.
