TW: Brief mention of assault/harassment in the workplace (18:46)

If you’re a lover of stories and scotcheroos you’ll eat this episode up. Marketer, foodie, and storyteller Darcy Maulsby joins me for a deep dive into the wild world of storytelling, both for brands and ourselves. We explore what elements make any story a well-told one, including the history of Darcy Maulsby and Co. My favorite section of this episode is our discussion on midwestern food history, trends, and culture. Why is the midwest so obsessed with food? And how did the beloved combo of chili and cinnamon rolls first begin appearing on school lunch trays? Darcy and I round out the episode by discussing some of the topics covered in two of her books, “Classic Restaurants of Des Moines and their Recipes” and “A Culinary History of Iowa”. If you like to eat (and who doesn’t?), you’ll devour this episode! 

If you enjoy true stories well told, you have a lot in common with Darcy (Dougherty) Maulsby. As Iowa’s Storyteller, Darcy believes anyone who eats has a connection to the things she’s most passionate about, including food, farming and history. As a 5th generation farmer, business owner, author, marketing specialist, historian and speaker, Darcy helps businesses uncover their “wow” stories and share them to inspire people to dream bigger, revitalize their rural communities and change the world for the good, one story at a time.

Mashed potatoes are a cornerstone of so many holiday meals, but just what kind to make? Smooth or lumpy, classic or with a twist … the variations are almost endless. Here to help you out with a unique take on the classic dish is the one and only Ina Garten. Beloved for her innovative takes on classic recipes that home cooks can make themselves, her long-running show on the Food Network, Barefoot Contessa, has legions of loyal fans. She’ll join us on Cooking Up a Storm with a very special holiday mashed potato recipe: Parmesan Smashed Potatoes. 

Parmesan Smashed Potatoes

Serves 6-8 

3 pounds red potatoes, unpeeled

1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided

1½ cups half-and-half

1/4 pound unsalted butter

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1. Place the potatoes and 1 tablespoon of salt in a 4-quart saucepan with cold water to cover.
2. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer, covered, for 25 to 35 minutes, until the potatoes are completely tender. Drain.
3. In a small saucepan, heat the half-and-half and butter.
4. Put the potatoes into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and mix them for a few seconds on low speed, to break them up.
5. Slowly add the hot cream and butter to the potatoes, mixing on the lowest speed (the last quarter of the cream and butter should be folded in by hand).
6. Fold in the sour cream, Parmesan cheese, the remaining salt, and pepper; taste for seasoning and serve immediately.
7. If the potatoes are too thick, add more hot cream and butter.

In this episode I interview the beautiful Ashlee, a busy mother to 4 young kids. Her passion is styling and organising her home which she considers not be work at all. We chat about everything from misconceptions and the reality of a busy home to collaborating with companies, curating ideas, the mum hustle of getting four kids out the door during the breakfast rush, plus so much more. This gorgeous mum has so much to offer us and she gives us so many ideas, tips, tricks and motivations in ways to organise your home, parenting tactics and ideas.

In our first ever hotel room recording, we talk with Matt Miller of Bearded Iris Brewing. Matt's one of three owners of the brewery, an operation that left a huge impression with Noah (and presumably hundreds of other brewers in town) during the 2018 Craft Brewers Conference held in Nashville. The guys talk with him about starting the brewery there, it's evolution since, and also dive into branding, the importance of agility in business, and a  surprising similarity between saison and IPA. We also geek out on flagships, as Bearded Iris Homestyle occupies a very similar roll in the brewery as Substance at Bissell Brothers, despite getting there a very different way. Matt also pulls out an unprecedented response to the three bay with a walk down Nostalgia Avenue that makes this an episode very much worth listening to until the end.
