Dish + Tell

Beef is absolutely what’s for dinner – record high prices, the smallest U.S. cattle herd in more than 70 years, a brand-new (and upside-down!) federal food pyramid that puts protein front and center, and more and more people want to know where their dinner comes from. That’s why Kayla pulled up a chair with her “beef guy” and friend, fifth-generation Montana rancher Eric Robinson.  Over a Montana...

What if grief could be a guide instead of an enemy?  In a special solo episode, Kayla shares a root beer float with her dad – gone thirteen years, but invited to pull up a chair in spirit. What follows is five hard-won lessons about loss, presence, and the love that has nowhere to go but everywhere.  Alongside her dad, Kayla reflects on:  Why the "I've lost someone" club has the most beautiful mem...

Fast fashion is having a moment – and not a good one. When SHEIN bought Everlane, the Millennial girlies (Kayla included) mourned loudly…but now will they keep shopping?

Some people sit down at the table and brighten it immediately. Tom Levandoski is one of those people — and for his 75th birthday, there was only one way to celebrate: a blind ice cream taste test on Dish + Tell. Tom's love of ice cream runs deep, from hand-churning fresh peach ice cream with his dad to standing around the kitchen island, everyone sharing a spoon straight from the carton. So I gath...

What does it really mean to follow your happiness — and what does it cost? In this episode, Kayla sits down with Carolyn Williams, founder of Zephyr cycling and movement studio in Bozeman, Montana, over lemon bars and dog treats – because wherever Caro goes, her pups are at her side! Caro built something beautiful — and then had the courage to let it go. What she learned through that experience, a...

In this episode, Kayla is introduced to “Chuckwagon Sally” as she sits down with Nick Shore over a plate of Cowboy Meatballs.   Together, they talk about Nick’s big leap – the moment when he stopped trying to force himself into a conventional career path that didn’t feel quite right, and instead pursued his passion and opened Mischa’s Wine Shop in Bozeman.  Drops of God, full-circle moments from t...

For the first episode of the Dish + Tell podcast, Kayla sits down with Allison Fasano over a plate of pasta with red sauce and meatballs, a dish rich with memory and meaning.  Many know Allison as a chef and proud member of the Bills Mafia, but fewer know the winding, non-linear nature of her journey. As the two enjoy Allison’s favorite meal, their dinner conversation explores food as connection,...
