Rachel Belle's Profile Picture

BY RACHEL BELLE


Former KIRO Newsradio features reporter

Every other week on Your Last Meal, Rachel Belle will interview a person of note – a famous singer or actor or athlete or chef – about what their last meal would be. Then she’ll take that dish on a journey and look at the history of the food, maybe figure out who makes the very best version — it can go anywhere, depending on what food they choose.

On the debut episode of Your Last Meal, Rachel asks her titular question of James Beard award-winner & Seattle’s most popular chef Tom Douglas. But his answer brings up more questions: How has the dish changed since its earliest incarnations? What is the human cost of some of our favorite foods? And how many last meals has Tom had?! Featuring author Jennifer 8 Lee, restaurateur Taylor Hoang, and “Deadliest Catch” crab fisherman Captain Keith Colburn. Original music by Prom Queen.
