I was recently invited to the launch party for Prince Street, a culinary podcast presented by Dean & Deluca. The monthly podcast is by, for, and about people who love food. It features interviews with chefs, field reports and celebrity profiles, all with a creative mix of comedy and the charm of cooking. The podcast has recurring correspondents that include novelist and wine columnist Jay McInerney, actor and director Griffin Dunne, TV personality Eden Grinshpan, Mile End Deli’s Noah Bernamoff, Fathom co-founder and CEO Pavia Rosati, and Sierra Tishgart, a multi-platform writer and reporter. Scarlett Johannson, is the podcast’s narrator, and she is also slated to appear on one of the episodes as is Francis Ford Coppolla.

At the launch event, I enjoyed assorted small bites such as asparagus, pita with baba ganoush, pea soup, and avocado canapes. For dessert, I couldn’t resist the madeleines, salted caramel pops, and chocolate truffles! I also enjoyed the music that was provided by the Frank Vignola Quartet. I had the opportunity to meet Eden Grinshpan who was smart, energetic, and delightful. She’s very excited to see how the podcast resonates with people. I’m looking forward to hearing the podcast throughout the season!
