Katie is solo today with a heartfelt episode as she closes an important chapter — The Kitchen on Food Network has officially come to an end after an incredible 12 years, 40 seasons, and 534 episodes. She shares the behind-the-scenes story of how she landed the position after nearly seven years of trying to break into Food Network, including the audition where she had to make her ultimate PB&J (she went all-in on the classic white-bread, sugary-jelly version she always wished for as a kid). Katie reflects on favorite memories with her co-hosts, how the show led her to meeting her husband Ryan, and what she hopes to cook up next in the food media world. Most importantly, she sends a huge thank-you to the listeners and fans who made this ride such a joy every single day.

Katie hangs out with actress Brie Larson and Courtney McBroom, former culinary director of Milk Bar, to chat about their new cookbook Party People and their shared love of throwing themed bashes that are anything but ordinary. From murder mystery nights to “Brag and Complain” parties, and even a Hot Dog Appreciation Day, these two know how to make every get-together unforgettable. They dish on why parties should be fun (not fussy) and how to make the decision of whether or not to allow social media. Plus they have delicious recipes to go along with any theme like loaded queso (topped with guacamole), the ultimate party punch, and an obsession with Taco Bell.
