David BurtkaEvery podcast appearance, updated as new ones drop

Katie sits down with actor, chef, and cookbook author David Burtka for an inspiring conversation about family cooking, gardening, and why mocktails deserve just as much love as cocktails - especially during Dry January. David shares how he and his husband, Neil Patrick Harris, teamed up on their new book, Both Sides of the Glass , filled with seasonal drink recipes—both alcoholic and nonalcoholic—so everyone at the table can enjoy no matter how they're starting the year. David explains he first got into cooking after taking a step back from acting. He decided to enroll in cooking school which later led him to train with legends like Cat Cora and Thomas Keller and ultimately owning his own catering company. These days, David is juggling life with teenage twins and spending lots of time on their family farm in the Hamptons, cooking simple, nourishing meals with veggies from his own garden—many of which he cans and pickles himself. It’s an episode filled with fresh ideas for a New Year reset, whether you're embracing Dry January, rethinking your routine, or just looking for new inspiration in the kitchen. Follow @dbelicious .

Celebrity chef, actor, and father of two, David Burtka, joined us in the LifeMinute Studios kitchen last week to ready us for the holidays. He shared his best stress-free holiday cooking, entertaining, and cleaning tips. Plus, what he and hubby Neil Patrick Harris and their twins are doing for Thanksgiving and their favorite holiday traditions. His biggest tip to eliminate stress from cooking or entertaining guests is to start preparing food the day before the event. To do so, decorate, set your table, measure, and chop your ingredients, so they will be ready to be thrown together when the time comes. Burtka likes to write everything down on paper and cross things off before the big day. “All I have to do is put my turkey in the oven, and I don’t have to worry about it,” he said. “I can watch the parade on TV and let the turkey roast while I spend some time with family.” He also loves getting his kids involved by having them help decorate cookies. There are things you can do ahead and while cooking to set yourself up for success afterward. For cookie decorating and any other activities that inevitably result in a mess, he recommends laying down some wax paper or plastic wrap to help easily clean your space. Amid all the fun, if you get a stain on your clothes, treat it as soon as possible before throwing it in the laundry later. He likes to use colorless liquid dish soap and a toothbrush to treat the stain and then rinse with cold water. Some stains, like gravy, require tougher treatment. For additional help, rinse the area with white vinegar after applying and washing off the dish soap. Toss the clothes in the wash with a high-performing laundry detergent, like Arm & Hammer Plus Oxi Clean Laundry Detergent . Before transferring them into the dryer, check to see if the stains are gone. If not, pre-treat and wash again because dryer heat can permanently set the stain. Check out Arm & Hammer laundry’s holiday stain-off challenge on TikTok . As far as holiday traditions, this family of four always likes to celebrate big. For this Thanksgiving, they are going to LA to catch their friend Elton John’s concert. Burtka said this year he is most thankful for health. “Taking care of yourself and being healthy and taking care of each other is the most important thing I think right now in my life,” said the star.

The celeb chef shares his best holiday entertaining tips and what he and hubby Neil Patrick Harris are doing for Thanksgiving

Today, we spend some time chatting with Broadway star, superstar chef, and family man David Burtka! David’s life is an open book, and his generous spirit is contagious. We discuss it all: his journey from Michigan to New York (and the dear friends and collaborators he met along the way), his incredible theatrical career, his meeting Neil Patrick Harris in 2007, their marriage in 2014, and now their parenting two beautiful children. If we learn just one thing from David Burtka, it’s that we do not need to put all of our creativity eggs in one basket. He’s an actor who excels both on stage and on screen. He’s a professional chef. He’s a father, a husband, and an artist in so many senses of the word. We’re inspired by the really unique path his life has taken so far, and his openness to whatever the future might bring. This week’s SPOTLIGHT ON LOVE comes to us from an anonymous listener: I feel like my extended family isn’t taking Covid as seriously as I am. But I don’t want to be the annoying person in the family who is the party pooper over the holidays. What advice do you have around setting boundaries around Covid during the holiday season? David Burtka has helped to raise not one but two sets of twins! We were particularly excited to talk parenting as we are currently in the process of starting our own family. What parenting advice to do you have to share with us? How has being a parent changed and enriched your life? We’ll take any and all advice and absolutely love stories. So send them our way! Looking forward to hearing from you. ***** Follow us http://instagram.com/broadwayhusbands http://facebook.com/broadwayhusbands http://youtube.com/broadwayhusbands Bret http://bretshuford.com http://instagram.com/bretshuford http://twitter.com/bretshuford http://snapchat.com/thebretshuford http://facebook.com/bretshuford Stephen http://instagram.com/stephenrhanna http://twitter.com/stephenrhanna We are grateful to be a part of the Broadway Podcast Network.Thanks to David Dabbon for our theme music and to Sophie Kay Photography for our image.
