“Your Last First Date,” Matchmaking and Jewmaican Beef Patties with Jaydi Samuels Kuba | TBWD Ep 140

On this episode of Taste Buds with Deb, host Debra Eckerling speaks with matchmaker, dating coach, and TV writer Jaydi Samuels Kuba, author of “Your Last First Date: Secrets from a Hollywood Matchmaker.” Food, dating, and Jewish tradition are all connected. They compliment each other. There’s a right and wrong way to choose venues and food for first dates; like finding someone's perfect match, there's an art and craft to it. For Kuba, matchmaking was a natural progression for her personality; it leaned into her love for connecting people to what - or who - they need. “I always would help people find new friends, find new jobs, find a roommate, whatever people were searching for in their life,” she explains. “As I started getting older, and there was more of a need around me, whether it was friends … co coworkers or colleagues looking for love, I just … started matching people in that way.” Kuba was working as a TV writer for “Family Guy” when she started her matchmaking side hustle, which turned into a full-blown business and passion. It’s also how she met her husband, who she matched five times before they started dating. Her book, which she began working on during the writers strike, started as a “how to” before her publisher suggested she changed to a narrative style. In it, she gives dating advice to the characters in the book; info anyone reading can learn from. Jaydi Samuels Kuba shares her matchmaking journey, what she hopes readers will get out of “Your Last First Date,” and lots of dating advice, especially as it relates to restaurants and food recs. She also talks about her bubbe’s beloved Jewmaican beef patties recipe.
