Ep. 13: Food Network Champion Tells All

Published: Feb. 27, 2017, 2:22 p.m.

What\u2019s really happening behind the scenes at the Food Network? (Yes, you really do have to bake 1,000 cupcakes.) Are so-called \u201claptop squatters'' bad for business or good for cafe\u0301 culture? And could a cooking class improve your child\u2019s test scores?

Helping us answer these questions are gluten-free pastry chef Kyra Bussanich, owner of Kyra\u2019s Bake Shop and the only four-time winner of \u201cCupcake Wars\u201d on the Food Network; Danielle Centoni, a James Beard Award-winning food journalist, cookbook writer, and recipe developer; and Laura Russell, a cookbook author, food writer, and recipe developer.
