Spirits of the Season

It’s the Flavorphiles Halloween Special, and we’re serving up something spooky. Tanner and Jerry start with absinthe—the mysterious “green fairy” once banned for its supposed hallucinogenic powers—and uncover how it earned its eerie reputation. Then they carve into the history of jack-o’-lanterns, sharing tips on how to make the most of your pumpkin’s innards, seeds, and flesh in the kitchen. The celebration continues with a look at Día de Muertos and the foods that honor the tradition, before ending on a sweet note: our overrated and underrated Halloween candies, including Tanner’s passionate opinion that the Reese’s pumpkin shape tastes better than the original cup. Thank you for listening! Join us again every weekend for more food inspired fun.
