Listeners of All On The Table share their spookiest, scariest horror stories from kitchens and restaurants with Katie. If you've ever felt scared to cook with a pressure cooker, you'll want to cover your ears when you hear the story of a bean-filled cooker that exploded all over one cook's kitchen. What's spookier than that? Substituting ingredients in a casserole to "veganize," only to have it become a swampy mess. Katie also shares her own fright night story of her worst customer during her restaurant days in college.

Missy Robbins is the chef and owner of Lilia and Misi, two of the most difficult restaurant reservations in New York City, and Misi Pasta, a boutique grocery store.

Missy’s love of great food, entertaining, and high-quality ingredients came at an early age thanks to her mother, who’s an expert hostess. Living in close proximity to New York City, Missy’s family had a fondness for special occasion meals in the city, which exposed her to fine dining experiences and beautiful cuisine.

During her senior year at Georgetown University, a chance meal at Charlie Trotter's on a trip to Chicago changed the course of her life. It was at this moment when she knew she wanted to be in the restaurant industry and become a chef.

Missy went on to culinary school and trained in Italy before working at Spiaggia in Chicago (where she cooked for Madonna!) and later at A Voce in New York, where she maintained Michelin stars throughout her tenure.

In 2016, Missy opened her own restaurant, Lilia, in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, which was an instant success overnight, with a three-star review from the New York Times, and has remained that way to this day. Missy has since opened a second restaurant, Misi, that focuses primarily on pasta. She also has a new venture called Misi Pasta, a high-quality Italian boutique grocery store, where she also sells her fresh, handmade pasta, that she plans to expand in the coming years.

Katie talks with her best friend and celebrity fashion stylist, Gretta Monahan, who shares her story of battling breast cancer and now cancer free for 5 years. She describes the moment of diagnosis as, “suddenly life was different right at that moment.”

Gretta discusses her work with Find The Cause, a breast cancer research group that is dedicated to finding the cause of cancer. She reveals the shocking fact that there are 80,000 chemicals that we may be exposed to on a daily basis, many that are banned in other countries, that could be contributing to our rising cancer rates. She gives tips on how to avoid exposure in your life.

Gretta informs us that monthly self-breast exams are something we all should be scheduling in our calendars, as more than 30% of breast cancers are detected this way. She also explains that family history is not the main indicator of being at risk for the disease, as 8 out of 10 women who are currently diagnosed do not have family history.

Gretta is a true inspiration and such a positive spirit, listen in for an episode that will bring you tears, smiles, and an education on such an important topic.
