KUT 90.5 FM Austin and NPR present Hidden Kitchens Texas, a new hour-long special produced by the Peabody Award-winning Kitchen Sisters (Davia Nelson & Nikki Silva).
Host, Willie Nelson, Dallas-born actress Robin Wright Penn, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, and Los Lonely Boys, along with some extraordinary tellers, take us across The Lone Star State in this new special. Stories of cowboy kitchens, cotton picker's kitchens, oil barrel barbeques, ice houses, chili queens, the birth of the Frito, the birth of the 7-Eleven, the birth of the Slurpee, the birth of the frozen Margarita, the first barbeque pit on the moon, all laced with a soulful array of Texas music. Intimate, historic, offbeat, and wild. So many issues we all share play out in these Texas kitchen stories--oil, land, food, family, elders, war, work, immigration--issues that touch the lives of listeners everywhere.
