Why Dinner Parties Can Solve Everything!

The Leonard Lopate Show | Dec 6, 2017

Brendan Francis Newnam and Rico Gagliano, creators, hosts, and producers of The Dinner Party Download, join us to discuss their new book Brunch Is Hell: How to Save the World by Throwing a Dinner Party. They argue that brunch is an overrated, overpriced scam and that we must fight back by throwing dinner parties. Their guide takes hosts through every phase of throwing a great dinner party, and how they can use the meal to bring people together.

Brendan Francis Newnam & Rico Gagliano will appear at Books Are Magic (225 Smith Street, Brooklyn) on Dec. 7 at 7:30 p.m. 

Note: Mary Harris guest-hosted this segment of "The Leonard Lopate Show."
