I Need to Feed My Friend Group

About this episode

Maggie invited a group of old friends to her small Upstate New York house, expecting some to drop out last minute. But nobody did, and now she has to feed 21 adults, 7 toddlers, and 3 dogs... for a week! This is, admittedly, Chris's nightmare. Enter: Sarah Copeland and Anna Stockwell, Upstate entertainers extraordinaire! They walk Maggie through the strategies, pro tips, and recipes that will help keep her big reunion focused on the people, not the stress.
