PRK On The Air: Last Suppers

At first glance, the topic of last suppers may seem morose. But not on Radio Boston.

Wednesday at 3pm, the show welcomes Melanie Dunea, the author and photographer behind “My Last Supper: The Second Course.” This is Dunea’s second book on Last Suppers,a series where she interviews and photographs famous chefs about their final meals. The list of world-renowned chefs includes two Boston-area gems: Lydia Shire (Scampo, Towne Stove and Spirits) and Barbara Lynch (Menton, Sportello, No. 9 Park, amongst others). All three will join us in studio.

Radio Boston will also ask for your calls and stories. But why not start now?

What would you eat? Who would be there? Where would they be?

Here’s mine:

Meal —  French fries and a black bean veggie burger + champagne
Company — My close friends and family (maybe a group of 10)
Location — Antigua, Guatemala. Nighttime at the Hotel Casa Santo Domingo.
