Milk Street Radio
About this episode

Cowboys work hard—which means they need to be fed well. This week, hear how ranch cook Kent Rollins feeds cowboys out of his chuck wagon, serving up his famous coffee, steaks and “burger dogs.” Plus, Tove Danovich introduces us to Mike the Headless Chicken, as well as her brood of mail-order chickens and their complex emotional lives; Martha Barnette and Grant Barrett of “A Way with Words” make lemonade out of lemon idioms; and we prepare a Tomato Salad with Peanuts, Cilantro and Chipotle-Sesame Dressing, just in time for high summer. (Originally aired August 3rd, 2023.)

Get this week's recipe for Tomato Salad with Peanuts, Cilantro and Chipotle-Sesame Dressing here.
