Jarrett across the table from me showing off his dessert of honey cake with fresh berries and berry purée. He's wearing a short sleeved, collared shirt with what appears to be a pattern of leaves, printed in blue on white. He's also wearing a string of pearls, which he talks about during the episode.

A two-by-two grid of images. Clockwise from upper left: crispy skin-on pork belly on a bed of creamy corn ghomi, Jarrett across the table from me holding up a white plate on which is his dessert of honey cake with fresh berries and berry puree; grilled salmon and roasted cauliflower with a sauce of roasted carrot; the Eating the Fantastic icon showing a flying saucer using its tractor beam to lift a hamburger, chicken leg, and donut.

Edited to the halfway point in the raw audio from my recent Awesome Con dinner with Chef's Kiss author @jarrettmelendez.bsky.social so our chat will be pleasing to your ears when you join us at the table one week from today on the next episode of my Eating the Fantastic podcast. pod.link/1083737796
