Rachael Perron is the host of Kowalski’s Dinner Tonight. Her prior experience in the recording “biz” includes voicemail greetings, answering machine work and a few unpublished mix tapes she self-produced in the late ‘80s using a SHARP QT-50 cassette player.

When she’s not recording, Rachael serves as the Culinary Director at Kowalski’s Markets, specializing in product development and selection. She directs research and production chefs in both hot foods and ready-to-eat prepared foods and organizes culinary education and related communications. She participates actively in marketing, merchandising, media strategies and branding initiatives for the company and serves as Art and Content Director for Kowalski’s in-house publication, At Home with Kowalski’s.

Rachael spends the rest of her off hours making dinner (and breakfast, lunch and lots of snacks) for two hungry teens and her husband, Jerry. The Perrons call White Bear Lake home.

Dinner Tonight Producer Adam Lee started his broadcast career at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. In the past 12 years he’s worked at three different radio stations, most notably a four-year stint at 92 KQRS. He has also worked on several podcasts as both producer and host. Adam’s great passion for broadcasting is matched by his love of food. He serves as Produce Manager for Kowalski's Excelsior Market, and he is proud to serve the best quality fruits and veggies in the Twin Cities.

Adam spends his free time with his lovely wife, Erin, messing around with friends and family, traveling, fishing and trying to stay out of trouble. He and Erin live in Hugo.
