You might recognize Brittany Luse’s sharp takes and quick wit from shows like For Colored Nerds or It’s Been A Minute. But did you know that she can cook? This week, Brittany Luse talks to Jesse about the rampant abuse of cheese in food media, why you should never cook for a man, and her one recipe: Weeknight Collard Greens & Weekend Grits. (And, no, she will not be getting into the sweet vs. savory grit debate.) Brittany Luse is an award-winning journalist and cultural critic. You can follow her on Instagram @bmluse and listen to her show It’s Been A Minute on NPR.
