Food is the great connector and a universal commonality. Get to know Katie’s guests through their experiences with food, favorite things they like to cook, childhood memories, and daily routines.
Katie Lee Biegel is the Emmy-nominated co-host of Food Network’s The Kitchen, now in its 37th season with over 500 episodes to date. Katie is an avid writer, the author of four best-selling cookbooks, It’s Not Complicated, Endless Summer, Everyday Occasions, and The Comfort Table, and also the novel Groundswell, which became a Hallmark movie that she executive produced and starred in. Her next Hallmark film is currently in development. Katie is the co-founder of Kind of Wild Wines, an organic, zero sugar wine with grape varietals sourced from all over the world. She is a longtime Revlon spokesperson and a board member for the Food Bank for New York City.
Katie splits her time between New York City and the Hamptons with her husband, Ryan, daughter, Iris, and their rescue dog, Gus. In her free time, she loves traveling, reading, and watching bingeable tv.
Katie sits down with her good friend and New York Times bestselling author, Xochitl Gonzalez, for a fascinating and deeply personal conversation about reinvention, storytelling, and the ever-evolving American Dream. From leaving behind a successful career in event planning to becoming a Pulitzer Prize finalist in her 40s, Xochitl shares the unexpected path that led her to writing—and how her latest novel, Last Night in Brooklyn, brings a Gatsby-esque lens to 2007 Fort Greene at the height of its transformation. Through the eyes of Alicia Canales Forten, the story dives into ambition, identity, and the magnetic pull of wealth and status, all set against a backdrop of shifting neighborhoods and social dynamics. Katie and Xochitl also touch on the cultural themes woven through her work, what inspires her characters, and of course, their shared love of food (Xochitl gives the secrets to her pernil recipe) - making this an episode that’s as thought-provoking as it is fun to listen to.
