Gregory Porter, ribeye steak with three sauces and a Cabernario

On Dish this week, Nick and Angela welcome a Grammy Award winning musician to the table. Gregory Porter is a much-loved jazz and soul singer who lives in Bakersfield, California with his wife and two sons. Porter rose to prominence in 2013 with the release of his third album, Liquid Spirit, which achieved huge commercial success and saw him win his first of two Grammy Awards. More recently, Gregory appeared on our TV screens as a giant Dressed Crab on The Masked Singer, finishing as runner-up. Alongside his impressive back catalogue of releases, Porter’s live shows come highly recommended, powered by his rich, soulful and emotional vocals. He joins Nick and Angela ahead of his upcoming UK tour that includes four nights at London’s Royal Albert Hall. Nick, Angela and Gregory enjoy a Cabernario No. 8 as Angela pulls out all the stops serving Steak à l’échalote, a recipe by Claude Bosi, with two types of chips. To accompany their steaks, they have the choice of three sauces: a Beaujolais, a Béarnaise or a Café de Paris-style butter. Gregory hosts his own cooking show, The Porterhouse, and brings fantastic culinary knowledge and appreciation to this episode.

Hozier’s Force For Good

Protest songs may appear to come naturally to Hozier, but there’s much reasoning behind why he chooses the issues he spotlights. Sitting down with Gregory, face to face pre-pandemic, they dig deep into the influence of the church on both their lives, and why challenge and curiosity are such useful skills to wield. Recorded at the Trafalgar St. James hotel, a few paces away from what was then the hustle and bustle of London’s Trafalgar Square, they talk about the music that’s informed their lives and why the words you use can carry such a heavy weight.
