Fr. Leo Patalinghug and Grace Before Meals

On Friday, June 7, Fr. Leo Patalinghug of GraceBeforeMeals.com joined us as a guest on the Around The Table Food Show. Fr. Leo is no stranger to any of us. A priest of the Archdiocese of Baltimore, Fr. Leo studied in Rome at the same time as Msgr. Christopher Nalty. They were classmates. Fr. Leo also did a fundraiser for Catholic Community Radio in Baton Rouge a couple of years ago. And I have been a fan, a follower, and a fellow foodie of Fr. Leo, promoting basically the same message as Grace Before Meals (with my own cooking style, of course) since October of 2008. Listen to our conversation to get a sneak peek behind the scenes of Fr. Leo's famous "Throwdown" with Bobby Flay in 2009. Fr. Leo and Msgr. Nalty shared lots of great stories about that... and about their time together in Rome. Fr. Leo also shared with us the beginnings of the Grace Before Meals movement. And for a special treat, Fr. Leo tells us about his upcoming (and third!) book. Find out about it here!
