Allen Stone is an absolute delight! In fact, the only thing that might be more universally beloved than the RaB/Soul singer is what he chose as his last meal: nachos! On this episode of YLM, Allen tells Rachel about his musical roots, the dish his fiancee cooked that inspired his song VooDoo, and what it's like to tour with an organ player who is also an amateur chef. (Sous-vide steak in the Motel 6 bathtub anyone?) And in case you didn't know, 'chos aren't just chips and cheese anymore! Rachel chats with former Food and Wine magazine editor Gina Hamadey about some of the genre-defying recipes she compiled from celebrities and chefs in her weird and wonderful cookbook, "Buenos Nachos." This year also happens to be a big anniversary for nachos! Rachel talks to Derek Sotak of nachonomics.com about the history of one of humanity's favorite foods. Support Allen Stone by buying his music or seeing him on tour this fall.
