Published on: 14th July, 2021

Jesse Tyler Ferguson is a celebrated theater, film and TV star. You most likely know him as “Mitchell Pritchett” on the award-winning ABC comedy Modern Family. He hosted the James Beard Awards in 2017 and 2019 and along with co-author Julie Tanous, released his first cookbook Food Between Friends in 2021. In this episode, we discuss growing up in New Mexico, being a father to a one year old and the reason he decided to write a cookbook. We also discuss his extraordinary advocacy efforts with Tie The Knot, an organization he co-founded with his husband Justin in 2012 to fight for LGBTQ equality around the world. Enjoy this episode as we go Beyond the Plate… with Jesse Tyler Ferguson.
