A short one this week, as Kristen’s microphone troubles continue (sorry) and we question: should people enter the James Beard Awards? [3:30]

Also, after a New York Times investigation that started over a year ago, Willows Inn on Lummi Island in Washington will close, and the property is being donated to charity. [9:16]
