ATT008 - Sunday Supper and the Family Foodie

Isabel Laessig, The Family Foodie, on Around The Table Food Show Our guest yesterday on Around The Table Food Show was Isabel Laessig, also known as The Family Foodie. Isabel started an effort about 18 months ago to bring families back around the family table by using blogs and social media. From a small band of seven food bloggers the Sunday Supper Movement has grown to influence 1.5 to 2 million Twitter followers weekly, using the hashtag #SundaySupper. And that number doesn't count the folks who engage with Sunday Supper bloggers via Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram and through the blogs of the participating bloggers. The New Orleans Oyster Festival This weekend marks the Oyster Festival in New Orleans. Restaurants from all over town come together to celebrate the salty, briny goodness of oysters. On the show today Chef Ralph Pausina from Drago's Restaurantjoins us to talk oysters, the Oyster Festival, and Drago's famous char-grilled oysters. Today's Recipe: Oysters! Msgr. Nalty and I discuss char-grilling oysters... and other ways of preparing oysters. One of the recipes we discussed can be found here: Drago's Charbroiled Oysters and Hurricane Isaac.
