Celebrity chef and culinary media personality, Christopher Kimball joins Federalist Radio to demystify the kitchen.

The host of America’s Test Kitchen and editor of Cook’s Illustrated, Kimball explains his food philosophy. He argues that “cooking is not an art. Food is functional…I’ve adopted a very practical approach.”

Originally a Columbia graduate with a degree in Primitive Art, Kimball launched a gourmet cooking career in the early 1980’s according to a simple and original recipe: “stubbornness, stupidity, and energy.”

Since then, the chef has pioneered one of the most uniquely authentic and successful culinary brands.

Today on the Federalist Radio Hour, Josh Kraushaar discusses strategy behind the 2016 presidential campaign, other political news from the Hill, and recent statements from fantasy sports gambling websites. Kraushaar is the political editor at National Journal and editor-in-chief of the Hotline.

As Donald Trump takes his first dip in poll numbers, Kraushaar says he thinks people have overestimated Trump’s staying power.  “The big question is, ‘What is the end game for Donald Trump?’” Ben and Kraushaar also discuss the strategy of a candidate’s super PAC and some of the challenges set to face Carly Fiorina.

Neil Greenberg, reporter for the Washington Post, also joins the conversation on the latest in the MLB and tells us who is the best and the worst in the NFL mid-season. Greenberg says he hopes the Washington Nationals firing of Manager Matt Williams does not come as a surprise and that he hopes his replacement is someone more adaptable and flexible than Williams.

Betsy Woodruff from the Daily Beast, and presidential candidate Carly Fiorina joined today’s Federalist Radio Hour to talk all things 2016.

Presidential candidates Ben Carson and Donald Trump seem to be polar opposites when it comes to campaigning. However, they both share a pattern of unaffiliated organizations using their name to raise money in particular ways or PACs. “Super PACs pop up overnight,” Woodruff said. “The lesson is let the donor beware.”

Fiorina joined the conversation to discuss the media’s reaction to her stance on the Planned Parenthood videos and suggests that people should pay attention to the amount of propaganda the media produces as opposed to facts. She also addresses recent rumors that money from Fiorina’s foundation has given money to Planned Parenthood. “It takes five seconds to know that’s a false statement,” she said.

The hour wrapped up touching on eminent domain, the question of Joe Biden entering the race, and what we can expect to see next from Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
