I Smell Pop Culture: Sandra Lee

iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

The recipe for a great Gilmore Girls episode is a heartfelt small-town story, a dash of romantic tension, and of course… a heavy pour of pop culture references. We’re going “semi homemade” this week when we talk to chef and author Sandra Lee!

 

She was mentioned in “A Year in the Life: Summer” as a potential chef for the Dragonfly Inn, and we’re going to find out what she would have done IF she had gotten the job!

 

Sandra shares her journey through crafts, county fair blue ribbons, and we learn how to set the perfect tablescape on I Smell Pop Culture!
