About this episode
Jared welcomes chef/host/NYT bestseller Jake Cohen to Chit Chat Wednesday to talk all things dinner parties and his new book, Dinner Party Animal . They swap hosting secrets, from timelines and grocery lists to the “that-was-tonight?!” emergency menu (hello, baked gnocchi and roast chicken dreams). Jake makes the case for “friend-luck”: invite your favorites and require each to bring someone they love, creating a matchmaking community. They dig into why preorders matter, how to actually support an author, and why good food is the ultimate conversation lubricant. Plus, a cheeky detour into single-life adventures and a rapid-fire “Peaks & Pits” on barbecues, playlists, chips, and sides. Hit the link to preorder or snag the book, then be the dinner party person of your dreams!
