It’s Morel time in Tennessee!

Today we are setting the table with a good ole fashioned morel mushroom foraging expedition in search of a wild food that delivers the umami taste. My guests are Chris Burger Farmer, Creative Director and Co-Founder of Century Harvest Farms Foundation in Greenback, TN. Chris was kind enough to invite me on a morel hunt the 2nd week of April for this mushroom that only appears from late March through the first few weeks of April annually in Tennessee. We also will be joined in the kitchen at CHFF by Chef Robert Allen in the kitchen of Century Harvest Farms Foundation. He will share with us how he cooks morel mushrooms, and what he pairs them with.

We also get to hear the 2nd installment of a brand new addition to the show “Garden Variety” with Kelly Smith Trimble. Author, Gardener and Editor living in Knoxville TN. Today, Kelly’s subject is corn.
