Oh, hey! Welcome back to another lip smacking episode of The Mystic Meals Podcast! At the table with me this week is none other than Mr. Patrick Barnitt! He's a jazz/big band crooner who has an impressive voice, and an equally impressive acting career! He's a permanent part of the Star Trek universe due to his playing several characters on Star Trek Voyager, Deep Space Nine, and most notably, playing a Borg in Star Trek: First Contact! Sick!! He speaks fondly of his upbringing in New Jersey, his memories of the first rock band he was in, and serves us all the delicious dishes that his mother made that still have an impact on him today. From her macaroni with meatballs & gravy, her top tier crumb cake, his Aunt's Angel Food Cake, to his Uncle's Onion Soup! The importance of passing down these family recipes and how they keep us connected to our roots, resonates throughout this zany podcast! Lots of laughs, tons of food, and loads of beautiful moments! So... grab yourself a tasty snack, a yummy drink to wash it all down, and get cozy as we prepare to go Dining Out with The Singing Borg... Patrick Barnitt, and me! Chef Nikki Meow!
