About this listen

Temperance & Table is a cozy, curious dive into the stories where food, drink, history, and true crime collide. Hosted by Chef Jenny Fox, each episode explores the hidden side of culinary culture — from luxury wine frauds and mob-run bakeries to Prohibition speakeasies, haunted taverns, and the mysterious origins of the foods we love. Part storytelling, part history, part chef-to-friend conversation, this podcast brings together Jenny’s restaurant background, true crime fascination, and love for uncovering the deeper meaning behind what we eat and drink. Pull up a chair, pour your favorite mocktail, and settle in for deliciously dark culinary tales.
