Recipes To Help You Live Your Guest Life, about how to be the best guest at a dinner party. “If you're always on time, bring appetizers. If you're reliably late, bring drinks. If you're stopping by later, bring dessert,” says Casey. Casey joins Dan at the Samsung Test Kitchen in New York to whip up a few dishes from his cookbook, chat about dinner party etiquette, and take questions from our live audience. This episode is sponsored by Samsung Bespoke Appliances.This episode was produced by Dan Pashman, Max Miller, Andres O’Hara, and Jared O’Connell.
