Episode 207: A Gastronomic Exploration of Sport

Shireen Ahmed, Lindsay Gibbs and Brenda Elsey start this gastronomic episode with their favorite kids' books about sports. Then they dig into the main course of the conversation: food, sports, food and sports. They discuss food based competitions, the impact of stadium food prices on vendors, classic cuisine-event associations (we see you, tennis), the popcorn obsessed Steph Curry and more.  Next, you'll hear a teaser from Lindsay's interview this week with Ashley Hart, the CEO and co-founder of She Plays, the first US fantasy sports site exclusively for women's sports. Following is the ever-flaming Burn Pile and the ever-glowing Torchbearers, including the Santa Clara women's soccer team as NCAA champions. They wrap of the show with what's good in their lives and what they are watching in sports this week.  This episode was produced by Tressa Versteeg.
