Bonus: Join “Retro Recipes” Author Bobby Hicks and Dalia Colón at Tombolo Books

“Retro food” can mean different things to different people. For today’s kids, it’s the Jell-O Pudding Pops and vintage Pizza Huts of their parents’ childhood. For Bobby Hicks, retro means tuna noodle casserole, chicken Kiev and gelatin rainbow cake—the food of his parents’ and grandparents’ heyday. But retro recipes are more than a list of ingredients. They’re a feeling. During the pandemic, Hicks shared this nostalgia with a growing number of social media followers who watched him make these sentimental dishes, providing a much-needed sense of comfort. And now he’s captured that feeling in a new cookbook. It’s called Retro Recipes: Vintage Dishes with a Modern Twist. We caught up with Hicks, who grew up on a farm in Central Florida and now lives in South Florida. In this conversation, the content creator and self-taught private chef discusses how to modernize retro meals for the 21st century, staples of a vintage kitchen and which recipes should stay in the past. Want to hear more from Bobby? Catch him in conversation with Dalia at Tombolo Books in St. Petersburg on June 30. Get event details here.

PTSA bridges a gap, a ‘woods to table’ chef, TPS ruling aftermath, tapping into dance

Public transportation is a big problem in the area. Inconsistent funding among the counties, no light rail and reduced services have made it source of contention, but the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority is trying to make it a little easier across Tampa Bay. Then, a local chef talks about his time on a deserted island for a spinoff of the Food Network’s “Chopped” series. Also, a member of the local Haitian community discusses the end of Temporary Protected Status. Finally, we’ll take a spin around the Tampa Bay Tap Festival. Hint: It’s not about craft beer.

America at 250: Reflecting on fractured unity, having a blast (safely), speaking in tongs

Happy semi-quincentennial. If your plans include lighting 250 candles — or fireworks just as bright — we have some safety tips. But first, a roundtable reflection on all that has happened to get America to this point. Things could be worse, but there’s no question we live in a fractured period politically and culturally. Hence, not everyone is celebrating this weekend. Is America at a turning point? Where does Florida fit in? What’s in the future? Finally, we get up in your grill.

Feeling the heat over ICE, Fluori-da a year later, it’s like a sauna out here, hail to the chef

Florida has embraced the Trump administration’s aggressive stance on immigration enforcement. But what happens when residents push back and ask local elected leaders to take a stand against it? A reporter who’s been covering the issue will discuss how some officials are caught in the middle of the 287(g) pledges by police departments. Also, it’s been a year since the state stopped adding fluoride to drinking water. Is the change affecting our dental hygiene? Plus, an update on the heat dome scorching much of the country, and a taste of Tampa at the James Beard Awards.

The Supreme Court's say on birthright citizenship; TPS and morality; DeSantis' budget vetoes

President Donald Trump had issued an executive order that said children born to people in the United States illegally or temporarily are not American citizens. The U.S. Supreme Court disagreed. In a momentous decision, the justices relied on a long-settled understanding of the 14th Amendment, adopted after the Civil War in 1868. In other Tuesday rulings, the court upheld laws in roughly half the states that prohibit transgender girls and women from playing on their public school and college sport teams and struck down limits on party spending in federal elections. A panel of legal experts joins the show to help explain what the decisions mean for Florida. Also, more on the impact of the Supreme Court’s ruling last week that allows the Trump administration to cancel Temporary Protected Status for more than 250,000 Haitians and Syrians in the country. Plus, what did the Tampa Bay area gain or lose in Gov. DeSantis’ final budget — and line vetoes?
