Who Am I, You Ask?

I’m a content and community machine! Twenty years as an Emmy-award winning TV reporter and anchor – now expanding my reach as a drivetime news/talk host on WCCO and podcast host at Audacy. Food critic at Minnesota Monthly magazine, social media voice on X, Instagram and Facebook, a husband and dad too. Passion and curiosity infuse everything I do.

Feast for the Ears: Broadcasting Culinary Symphony

As a finalist for the James Beard Foundation Media Award, I love taking stories from the food, wine and spirits space and bringing them to life. As the Dining Editor and chief food critic for Minnesota Monthly for more than a decade, I have credibility in the space. My podcast, “DeRusha Eats,” focuses on chefs, restaurateurs, farmers, and experts in drinks.
