TV GUIDE: RACHEL HOLT
Holt with acclaimed Chef Andy Husbands
Who had one of the biggest personalities of the people you interviewed this season? It’s hard to pick just one but the person that comes to mind is Andy Husbands of The Smoke Shop BBQ. You can tell he’s so passionate about what he does, and his charisma and energy make him a fun guy to be around. Of all the meals you tried, can you pinpoint the tastiest bite? We got to spend the day in Maine with Abigail Carroll, the founder of Nonesuch Oysters. She took us out on her boat, we toured her oyster farm, and then we had a picnic right on the spot—complete with mignonette sauce and lemons. I don’t know if I will ever have a fresher or tastier oyster again! What’s one cooking tip you learned that you’re applying to your own kitchen? I love Italian food so I was all ears when Chef Douglass Williams of MIDA was making bucatini all’amatriciana. One of his tips was to save some of the water from cooking pasta and use it for the sauce, which instantly helps elevate the dish.
