Buddy Guy is the official recipe tester of our food site.

We eat a lot, and our boys eat a lot. It seems someone is constantly cooking in our household, to our delight the boys are catching on to the whole kitchen thing and have assisted and contributed to many of the posts here on Platter Talk.

Meet Dan from Platter Talk

Dan from Platter Talk

From an early age, Dan has held a keen interest 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.

A Masters prepared Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) by day; he’s a husband and dad by night. Platter Talk has become a passion for Dan, and you can look forward to a kitchen full of new recipes from him down the line.

Scott from Platter Talk

Scott grew up in inner-city Detroit, the youngest of seven kids being raised by a single mom. Resources were scarce for this close family, but ingenuity and creativity were in abundance.

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.

Heavily influenced in the kitchen by his Polish heritage, he brings many family recipes to Platter Talk that has been passed down to him from many prior generations. Scott works as an insurance broker and manager during the day and at night likes to take on remodeling projects such as basements and bathrooms.

Scott is also a multi-year recipient of Dad of the Year award from those who matter most, his sons who for obvious reasons have been dubbed “The Platter Talk Kids.”

Most weekends find the Platter Talk clan at their little retreat; a small cottage on a small lake, in the middle of Nowhere, Wisconsin. There, and at their house in town, Dan and Scott’s ovens are often on, and their burners usually fired up.

Chef Kat from Platter Talk

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