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 talks with Darren Star, creator and producer of zeitgeist-defining television series like Sex and The City, Beverly Hills, 90210, and Melrose Place, plus the international hit, Emily in Paris. Darren serves up some secrets of the new season of Emily in Paris, including filming in locations like Megève and Rome. He talks about the cast’s love of Paris, their favorite restaurants to visit while filming, and what catering is like on a French set (heavy on the desserts) vs. an Italian set (heavy on the pasta).
Darren shares that his personal connection to food has helped to set the scene for his television series over the years. Whether it’s the Peach Pit in 90210 or one of the many NYC restaurants in Sex and the City, dining out gives the characters a time to come together.
Plus, Darren shares his method for grilling the perfect steak, some of his favorite things to do in the Hamptons, and that time Candice Bushnell baked him Ina Garten’s chocolate cake for his birthday.
Bon appetit!
