Cooking Up Laughs with Stephen and Evie Colbert: From Gullah Cuisine to Kitchen Mishaps

About this sermon

Jen and Amy are beyond thrilled to welcome late-night legend Stephen Colbert and his amazing wife, Evie McGee Colbert, to the show! They’re dishing about their brand-new cookbook, Does This Taste Funny?—a project born during pandemic life at home. Stephen and Evie share the hilarious backstory of how it all came together, dive into their kitchen quirks (spoiler: they don’t always agree in the kitchen!), and bond over their love for Gullah cuisine from South Carolina’s Lowcountry. From cooking together to a classic metal spoon disaster, it’s the perfect blend of laughter, food, and a little bit of chaos. On today’s show: Jen and Amy discuss high school reunions. Jen’s advice on accessorizing senior photos. Amy shows off her gluten-free version of Patti McGee’s Cheese Biscuits. The group tries to unpack why today’s generation is obsessed with food expiration dates. Stephen shares how he got radicalized by fancy butter. Quotes: “Anytime somebody brings me my own cookbook—and it’s filthy, greasy—I’m thrilled. It’s the best compliment.” – Jen Hatmaker “If you think I’m going to my high school reunion one week postpartum, think again! I’m going to come looking like a million dollars, or I’m not coming.” – Jen Hatmaker “Give me Duke’s [mayonnaise] or give me death.” – Jen Hatmaker “My mom started with recipes from the back of a bottle of chili sauce or dried soup mix. That’s where I started.” – Stephen Colbert “A good marriage is based on honesty, but one of the most important things to lie about is that your marriage is based on honesty.” – Stephen Colbert “When I was younger, we’d have roast beef and rice and gravy for dinner at two o’clock. Supper was a sandwich at seven. That’s southern life.” – Evie Colbert Resources Mentioned: Flavors: The Junior League of San Antonio (1978) - https://www.abebooks.com/9780961041601/Flavors-Junior-League-San-Antonio-0961041609/plp The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Recipes from an Accidental Country Girl by Ree Drummond (2009) - https://amzn.to/3Ue0eWd The Colbert Report - https://tv.apple.com/us/show/the-colbert-report/umc.cmc.3k1kkmfgd34hfnk8mc6p1uj01 Does This Taste Funny?: Recipes Our Family Loves - https://amzn.to/3YoJeix Feed These People: Slam-Dunk Recipes for Your Crew by Jen Hatmaker - https://amzn.to/3BNozvM Candied Hot Peppers from Tiny Pizza Kitchen in Brooklyn - https://www.tinypizzakitchen.com/buy-chilies Guest Links: Stephen’s Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/stephenathome/ The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Website - https://www.cbs.com/shows/the-late-show-with-stephen-colbert/ Connect with Jen!
