Description

Oscar, Grammy and Juno award-winning artist, Melissa Etheridge, started playing with an adult band when she was just 12 years old and this year she released her 17th album, "Rise."

Melissa tells host Rachel Belle:

• Her favorite stoner snacks (And which celebrity she'd like to smoke pot with!)
• About her mom's "angry dinners" growing up in Kansas
• Her tradition of eating at women-owned restaurants when she's on the road with her wife, Linda
• How she met her best friends, the owners of Cathy's Kitchen in Ferguson, Missouri

Then Cathy and Jerome Jenkins, owners of Cathy's Kitchen, join the show to tell us more about Melissa's last meal and the unconventional road they took to becoming restaurant owners.
