Sauced

About Sauced

What happens when two former chefs — now leading voices in the drinks world — turn the mic on their favorite topic: cooking with booze and drinking with food? That’s Sauced, a new weekly podcast from Tim McKirdy and Sother Teague. Each week, Tim and Sother unpack a single dish: its history, the techniques that make it sing, and the drinks that belong alongside it. From Beef Bourguignon to Crêpes Suzette, we're exploring the classics — and the booze that gives them their identity. Tim is a drinks writer, editor, and podcaster who's spent years covering cocktails, wine, and spirits. Sother is one of New York's most respected bartenders and the author of I'm Just Here for the Drinks. Together, they bring chef instincts, drinks expertise, and the kind of meaty conversation you'd want to partake in over a great meal. New episodes every Thursday. Premium subscribers get bonus content, recipe cards, and early access to live events at https://sauced.supercast.com.

[…] Or this is the most accepted theory. The word and the practice traveled to America together. They were carried by Breton fishermen, our guys with the nice striped T-shirts, to Newfoundland, then down through the Maritimes into New England where the word first surfaces in print in 1751. As chowder. as chowder we dropped the french and we went with the the anglicized we've been known to do that yes another one another theory which is less accepted but is out there traces the name back to an old west country word so the west country in the uk um cornwall and around there jouter j-o-w-t-e-r which was a cornish fish peddler which would make, therefore, the chowder the fishmonger's stew rather than the pot's stew, if you see what I'm saying.
