Meet the Platter Talk Family
Welcome to Platter Talk!

Meet Dan from Platter Talk

From an early age, Dan has been interested in three things: Writing, photography, and cooking.
When he started Platter Talk in the winter of 2013, he found this fun hobby to be a perfect marriage of those three passions.
Drawing upon his early days of story writing, taking snaps with an old camera his mom had found in a cupboard above the oven in their farmhouse, and the cooking endeavors of his Mennonite heritage, he uses all of these components of his early development and puts them into this food site.

Scott from Platter Talk
Scott grew up in inner-city Detroit, the youngest of seven kids raised by a single mom. Resources were scarce for this close family, but ingenuity and creativity were abundant.
Scott carries those traits over into his adult life and in the kitchen, and that has translated into some of the most popular recipes on Platter Talk and even on Internet search engines such as Google.
Most weekends, find the Platter Talk clan at their little retreat, a small cottage on a small lake in the middle of Nowhere, Wisconsin. Dan and Scott's ovens are often on there and at their house in town, and their burners usually fired up.
Chef Kat from Platter Talk

Chef Kat from Platter Talk has spent many years in the food industry. In addition to a degree in commercial art, Chef Kat trained at the world-renown Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY, and has cooked for British royalty and served as a personal chef to some of the most iconic American figures of our generation.
