The JTrain Podcast

It’s Chit Chat Wednesday on the JTrain Podcast, and Jared Freid is joined by special guests Randy and Katherine Feltis, coauthors of Catherine Wants Randy Cooks: The Ultimate Date Night Cookbook. This charming couple shares their unique love story, beginning with their restaurant fling years ago to reconnecting after a 13-year hiatus. Now happily married, with two daughters and a thriving food-focused Instagram presence, they’ve turned their passion for food and love into a cookbook that celebrates the connection between meals and relationships. Jared dives into their journey, from navigating life’s twists and turns to building a brand during the pandemic. They discuss the art of creating recipes, their thoughts on date-night dishes, and even suggest the perfect meals to impress on a first date. Tune in for a delightful conversation filled with laughs, insights, and mouthwatering ideas.Want more JTRAIN?
