Making Mealtime a Family Affair | Chef David Nayfeld on Picky Eaters + Family Friendly Recipes

Author: Adam Flaherty, Marc Checket March 28, 2025 Duration: 55:47
Struggling with kids who are picky eaters? Want to involve your kids in meal preparation but don't know where to start? This episode is for you. We welcome esteemed professional chef (and professional dad) David Nayfeld, who brings fresh ideas to your family kitchen. With his upcoming cookbook, "Dad, What's for Dinner?", David shares recipes and strategies for engaging your kids in cooking—transforming mealtime from a chore into an adventure. And for parents of kids who only like mac and cheese with a side of pre-packaged preservatives, David offers insights into making meals and snacks that are fun, healthy, and easy to prepare. Stay to the end for the first installment of a new segment, "How Would You Dad This?"

Adam Flaherty and Marc Checket, two dads from suburban New England, are well aware the world doesn't need another podcast where guys just ramble. That self-awareness is precisely what fuels Modern Dadhood. Instead of claiming to have all the answers, they get real about the messy, rewarding, and constantly shifting landscape of fatherhood today. Each episode is built on candid, authentic, and often hilarious conversations that unpack what it means to be a parent now. They sit down with a wonderfully diverse range of voices-from famous fathers to those you'd never hear from otherwise, including stepdads, granddads, and dads-to-be. Listening in feels like pulling up a chair for an honest talk among friends, one where the challenges are met with empathy and the triumphs are genuinely celebrated. This isn't just a show for dads; it's for anyone interested in the modern dynamics of family. You'll hear stories that resonate, practical insights nestled within the laughter, and a refreshingly broad perspective on culture, education, and self-improvement through the lens of parenting. Modern Dadhood moves beyond the superficial to explore the genuine connections and personal growth at the heart of raising kids.
