Episode 309: Sometimes Dead Is Better

It’s Halloween this week on Cooking Issues, and Dave and Nastassia are joined by friend of the show Paul Adams, who is dressed as a “test kitten.” Tune in to hear them talk about freezing juice, finishing meats cooked at low temperature, charcoal, boxed wine, holiday cocktails, and why sometimes pretending you’re dead is the only way to deal with life.
