Hallelujah for seasoned food! | Billy Porter | Dish Podcast

Nick and Angela welcome a fashion icon to Dish HQ.

Born in Pennsylvania, Billy Porter was destined for greatness. In this episode, Billy spills all the juicy details on his ever-evolving career—from releasing an album while on jury duty to winning Star Search (1992). He went on to become a Broadway icon, earning a Tony for Kinky Boots (2013) and later winning an Emmy for his powerful role as Pray Tell in Pose (2018).

Nick shakes up the margaritas while Angela serves up a mouthwatering Greek chicken with orzo. And to cheers? A glass of Le Mesnil Blanc de Blanc Grand Cru Brut, NV.
Even though he’s only been in the UK for a few months, Billy has already formed some strong–and potentially questionable–opinions. Our trio discuss Billy’s views on Jerusalem artichokes, Christmas in England, and the correct way to pronounce your herbs!

He also channels his inner fairy godmother, sprinkling some of his signature Porter wisdom and sharing invaluable life lessons from his incredible late mother—especially the importance of self-care.

[janedear]

I keep saying every episode is better than the last but Billy P was absolute genius. Genuinely believe Nick and Ange were a wee bit lubricated. So moving too. Please watch.

[kaylawest]

Billy Porter will never not be my favorite human in the world.

[mwanapate]

[MtheGoat]

Odd, some of the best salt comes from England: Maldon Sea Salt.

[benjaminacuna]

I’ve lived in Upstate New York and had food in a good part of New England the food is bland here too…..

[purbitabhakta]

England colonised half the world for spices and forgot to use them in their own food

[christinakyprianou-kt]

😂😂
Salad without Dressings
Dry as a Bone🙈

[MCWM]

Amen to getting better English food 😂😂😂

[Coco-nswe]

You all are really mad about him saying your food lacks seasoning. It’s a joke. Get a life.

[nickdunne]

You know, I’m fed up with this idea that food in the UK isn’t good. A food revolution has happened here over the last 25 years. It’s not the 80s anymore - get some new schtick.

[Pat]

We don't think Americans have the high ground on what constitutes good food.
