If—as chef Gabrielle Hamilton writes in the New York Times about her legendary recipe for Radishes and Sweet Butter with Kosher Salt—“success is in the quality of the ingredients,” this show is certain to be a memorable feast. In 2011, after decades in the restaurant business, Hamilton published Blood, Bones & Butter, which Anthony Bourdain declared “magnificent.” Her electrifying new memoir, Next of Kin, delves into the excitement, resilience, agony, and defiance required to be a member of her singular family. “With only three ingredients, there is nowhere to hide”—and we’ve pulled together the perfect trio: Hamilton, host Shelley Youngblut, and you in the audience.
Note: This 60-minute show was originally scheduled for noon on Friday, Oct. 17. Due to a travel conflict, it’s been moved to Sunday, Oct. 19 and scheduled for 11:30 AM so that Wordfesters can still attend the 10 AM and 1 PM shows on Sunday.
