Grilling w/ Julia Turshen

Weber? I hardly know her! Yes, it’s the first week in March, but it’s never too soon to talk about grilling! Especially when home chef and author Julia Turshen is on hand to discuss tips, tricks, and best practices for this cooking method that isn’t inherently queer but sure feels queer. Julia answered all our burning questions like, what are the best things to grill? Do you need ‘dad’ jokes in your back pocket to be a grill master? Charcoal or propane? And why can’t cis men stop flipping and poking things? Before firing up the grill convo, we learn about the L Word-inspired recipe in her latest cookbook Simply Julia (out now) and her other approachable (and delicious) recipes. Plus, Melody asks Carolyn to clear up her past stance on Joss Whedon (boooo!), we tell you how much we care about I Care A Lot, and take a second to dunk on Oreo. Finally, we answer a question from an in-the-closet listener who is wondering about timing.
