Each month we sit down with a Hitchin food legend. They bring three dishes. We open three perfectly paired wines. Then we get into their story: where they’ve come from, what they’re building, and the fun, messy, human bits you never hear anywhere else. Expect laughter, bold flavours, strong opinions, a little chaos, and a lot of wine. Every episode ends with the Corkscrew Challenge, a race to see who can open a bottle the fastest. Someone always talks big. Someone always crumbles. Who tops the leaderboard this week?Food Tastes Better With Wine Art Cooking Food & Wine
