The Davises Eat is our weekly live cooking show where dinner feels doable and regional ingredients take center stage. For us, the kitchen is a place to unwind at the end of the day. We cook from our home in Southern Illinois, drawing inspiration from the farmers, makers, and food traditions that shape our region.
Every episode walks you through a full dinner and a cocktail in about an hour, all in a relaxed, real‑time format that feels like you’re cooking with friends - us!
Niki brings her background in food storytelling and hospitality to the stove while Chili mixes cocktails that highlight seasonal flavors and local spirits. Together we share approachable recipes, practical techniques, and the stories behind the ingredients we love.
Whether you join us live or catch the replay, we hope you leave inspired to cook something good and share it with the people you love.
