This week on a special Super Tuesday-themed Meat and Three, we get ready for a big day at the polls by looking at the intersecting worlds of food and electoral politics.  We’ll bring you everywhere from Australian voting booths with a special sizzle, to a diner in New Hampshire that regularly plays host to future presidents.  

First, Rowan O’Connell-Gates takes us to the campaign trail with a story about candidates’ attempts to woo voters with food.  Kevin Chang Barnum explores Australia’s voting laws and how they created a tradition known as democracy sausage.  The Speakeasy host Sother Teague compares recent politics to the cultural climate that led to prohibition.  Finally, Ruby Walsh explains the risks of eating in public as she examines how one photo derailed a British Labor Party leader’s career.

We talk about

1. What real rum is - transparency and disclosure of additives
2. Caribbean Aging - how there’s no such thing as a 30 year old rum
3. New Classifications and designations - instead of “Light & Dark,” we say “Aged & Un-aged”

We’ve got lots of love for the local this week. We talk to restaurateur extraordinaire Danny Meyer about the newest Shake Shack on New Britain Avenue in West Hartford, and we geek out about rum with The Real McCoy Rum founder (and Emmy® award-winning documentarian) Bailey Pryor from Mystic. Former opera singers Kelly and David Boudreaux, now the owners of Nature’s Grocer, a gluten free market in Vernon and Bloomfield, join the party with a platter of gluten-free treats and the chicken salad they’re famous for. Plus, Kelly and David introduce “The Faith Doughnut.” You can actually order one at Nature’s Grocer, or doctor one up at home. If you find yourself at Nature’s Grocer, and you’re lucky—Kelly and David might sing something for you—like they did for Faith.
