Homer, Alaska has just two grocery stores, but radio host Jeff Lockwood finds more than enough inspiration to explore food culture one ingredient at a time
by Republican governor Mike Dunleavy in June 2019. When KBBI sought new original programming that could save money, draw private donors, and create stability for the station, Lockwood had an idea.began as a one-off cooking episode of a KBBI call-in show. “We do a weekly show where local people call in, and it was a cooking-themed [episode] right around the holidays,” Lockwood says. “I had a couple of people [as guests] who wound up being regulars on.
After chickpeas, the first season covered pork shoulder, cabbage, brown sugar, and apples before concluding with oysters, a favorite of Lockwood’s after his time in both commercial fishing and restaurants. And that episode’s guest,, returned for a Season 3 episode Lockwood is particularly proud of: a trip to Kachemak Bay to talk about mussels.
“We really like working with Jeff,” Weatherly Bates says. “He had his own restaurant and he’s also been a chef at a lot of the local restaurants. We feel like he knows our product so well.” The Bates family visited Homer before deciding to move there and connected with Lockwood then. Having an ally made a big difference later on when they were configuring logistics over the phone from Maine.
”It’s kind of a joke here in Homer that we get the worst produce,” Lockwood tells me. “The ships all come in and stop in Anchorage first, so all the Anchorage stores get all the really nice stuff, then it goes down the road to the next couple big towns between here and Anchorage, so by the time it gets down here, because we’re at the end of the road, we just get all the leftover crap.
