The Catholic Foodie brings much more to the table than merely recipes and reviews. The show highlights how food - good food - can be a sign to us of God’s love and care for each of us and our families. The tagline, "where food meets faith," speaks volumes about the importance of family, which is so often developed around the kitchen table.

This is going to be an awesome documentary. Pope John Paul II called Blessed James Alberione the first apostle of the New Evangelization.
The Pauline Family is the family to which Char and I belong... in the Holy Family Institute. Watch the video and let me know what you think! Comment below.
We are very lucky to have Char on the show again today. And many thanks to Sarah Reinhard for the awesome intro!
If you listened to episode 62 (Who Be Rouxbe?), then you heard about our Lenten plans here at the Catholic Foodie. We are going to go through a series of reflections using two movies: Babette's Feast and Shawshank Redemption.
On the menu today... A conversation with Joe Girard, co-founder of rouxbe.com. You can get a free 14 day trial of the full online cooking school by going to catholic.rouxbe.com.
I love Fr. Leo and his Grace Before Meals. His work is very similar to what I am trying to do here at the Catholic Foodie. Food, family, faith, and fun. It's all here at catholicfoodie.com. Like me, Fr. Leo is also trying to get families back to the kitchen and to the kitchen table.
Today's Fat Tuesday... It's Mardi Gras, y'all!
On this episode we talk about the parades from the past week and two special Catholic media events taking place today. We also delve into the Catholic roots of Mardi Gras. And I make gumbo!
Laissez les bon temps roulez!

Last night we were privileged to attend the Bacchus parade in New Orleans. We staked out a spot (or actually, Big D staked out a spot) on St. Charles Avenue, right in front of Cannon's Restaurant. We were on the neutral ground, and Big D had set up a couple of 10ft. ladders. Perfect for catching beads. The parade started to roll at 5:15, so the night descended upon us before the float started to pass by. And the crowd! Unbelievable! I can't begin to describe to you the number of people lining St. Charles Avenue. Wow! You might get a sense of it though by watching the video below.
Here is some video I shot at the Saints victory parade in New Orleans on Tuesday, February 9, 2010. We are proud of our New Orleans Saints!
It is reported that there were 800,000 to 1 million people at that parade. It was truly amazing.
WHO DAT!
On the show today... A LIVE recording of the Catholic Foodie Superbowl pre-game show. You don't want to miss this!
You will get to hear my prediction of which team will be victorious (and I end up being right, ya know!). And I am joined by Adolfo Rodriguez who shares a wealth of Saints facts and Catholic tidbits. He is also an avid foodie. We just can't seem to stop talking about food! And, for the first time ever, we actually EAT on the show!
Well, I don't really love MacGourmet. At least not in the same way that I love my family... my faith... and, occasionally, an exceptional pizza from one of those deliciously run-down mom & pop establishments. But, I do have to say that MacGourmet ROCKS!
If you like what you see and hear at the Catholic Foodie, please consider leaving a tip!
Thank you!

"Like food? Want to learn more about your faith? Jeff is personable, easy to listen to, and very knowledgeable about both subjects." - Mike
"Jeff does a fantastic job blending a love of food with a passion for his faith. I always look forward to a new episode - Keep up the good work!" - Lisa
"I'm not a cook, though I like to eat. I do love learning about my Catholic faith, though. I didn't expect to become a big fan of the Catholic Foodie as I have; Jeff makes me want to try my hand at some of the cooking and recipes. It's not JUST about food, though, and his perspective on faith is valuable catechesis, and I appreciate every show." - Sarah
"The Catholic Foodie is an excellent show about food and our Catholic Faith." - Anonymous
"Jeff's podcast is very enjoyable. He does a great job of relating food to faith and vice versa. I especially love the episodes about coffee! Keep up the good work!" - JoAnna
"It's great to hear a podcast that's relaxing and low-key. Love the soft jazz music you use." - Fr. Jim
"Though he doesn't live in New Orleans proper, Jeff Young's love of food, cooking and God is influenced by this Catholic city in which delicious meals abound! If you are interested in how the Church's past and present history intersects with food, this is the podcast for you. Young's talents as an educator shine through; he explains concepts in a lively way that never sounds preachy." - Soyviz
"More exciting than Sunday sports channels, more invigorating than a Swedish massage, and more inspiring than a full set of 1955 Funk and Wagnell Encyclopedias… or the hardcover edition Code of Canon Law! Grab a cup of java, or maybe a good glass of vino, and come on down and spend some time with the Catholic Foodie… Where food meets faith!" - Bro. Jer
