In honor of Fat Tuesday, we present Fat Podcast, brought to you by Turntable Kitchen, a blog that marries deep music nerdery with potent foodie lust by meticulously pairing the optimal tune with the opulent meal. For this episode, Wired invited TurntableKitchen.com's co-founders Matthew and Kasey Hickey to guest host. Together, the duo present their top three dishes--and match them with six tasty tunes--all inspired by New Orleans culture. So pull up a chair and enjoy this extra special music feast.
