>>Erik: What inspired your transition to become a dating advisor with your radio show ``Lets
Eat In`` and what do you hope to accomplish with this endeavor?
>>Cathy: I started the radio show to have a ton of fun. That`s the idea. Come to think
of it, when you go on a date, you shouldn`t have any other goals other than to have fun
with that person. That was really all I was thinking about. I just love the subject of
dating and food because they go so hand in hand. When you eat with someone [pause] Everyone
has to eat and if you are going to see someone often you`re going to have to eat at some
point and it`s a really great way to get to know someone and itÕs a shared, it`s so visceral,
it`s like a human need. What else do we do together that`s so vital? I just enjoy talking
about that in all sorts of levels, with all sorts of people. So, basically that`s what
I want to do. So, I like to invite a couple of guests each week. I just like to bounce
ideas off of each other and pick their brains and see what makes them [pause] what gets
them off when they cook or go on dates because I really appreciate their thoughts and I hope
my audience does too.
>>Erik: And you`re covering a range of topics, cheap dates, looking at ways to create experiences,
shape experiences, and ways to make this more accepted through this experience.
>>Cathy: Right, let`s look at the date as something that doesn`t need to be spent in
a public place or with fancy food. You can have a more casual date, a more casual food,
and strip down all of the pretenses and have some really good meals together.
>>Erik: Yeah, I think a lot of these dating sites could use some of these talks about
simplicity of cooking basic foods to help shape more fulfilling and approachable dates.
>>Cathy: And by no means less romantic, too, right?
>>Erik: No means less romantic, absolutely.
