Chris Hastings of Hot and Hot Fish Club of Birmingham, AL will be cooking with Martha Stewart next week on The Martha Stewart Show. Chris is making the trip with some soon-to-be famous members of our turkey flock.
Chris will be preparing his take on the traditional Southern Thanksgiving, but it sounds alot better than any Thanksgiving meal I’ve had:
“Chris will make his Randle Farms Heritage Breed Turkey with 13 Mile Oyster Dressing & Giblet Gravy, as well as a Chef’s Garden Heirloom Cauliflower Gratin with Roasted Chestnuts & Parmesan Cream.”
Humble beginnings: from the roof of our house to the bright lights
We’re so excited to be working with Chef Hastings. He’s not only a world-renowned chef, but he and his wife Idie have made a serious commitment to supporting local foods in their restaurant and in their spare time. It’s been a joy getting to know him over the last few months.
Of course, I must also mention that I’m personally thrilled that something that I watched grow up in my backyard will be in the presence of Martha Stewart. I’ll be completely honest and admit that I’m a huge fan, and that I requested a Martha Stewart magazine subscription for Christmas, and that her cookbook is one of my most prized possessions.
I should also mention that the folks at her show have spent a great deal of time talking to me and asking great questions about what we do, not to mention studying our website in great detail. They’ve been easy to work with, and the whole experience has really been a pleasure.
But before I go on and on about my feelings for Martha, here’s the television schedule for the Martha Stewart Show. Chris will appear on the 23rd; expect a more detailed episode description as the date gets closer. To check your local listings, here’s your Hallmark Channel airtime finder. And just in case you aren’t aware of all the “Good Things” Martha offers on her website, check out her Whole Living page: it’s basically Mother Earth News, Martha style. What could be better??
And the next time you’re in Birmingham, stop by Hot and Hot Fish Club. Chris and Idie Hastings offer one of the premier dining experiences in Alabama, and it shouldn’t be missed.
