Davka,
I understand the feeling. Mine are 15 and 17 and I am thrilled when they ask advice. They are bright questioning kids and I wonder how we managed to create them. They're going to do better in this world than their daddy and I did, but they still listen to us. I'm honored.
I love much of NPR though often they are much too liberal to be my only new source.
I'm going to buck the trend, but I love Splendid Table. You're all right that it caters to those with money to spend on food and an educated palate. But beyond charity, what better place to spend it? Music? Fine but also spendy. Art? Fine but also spendy. Travel? Fine but also spendy. And so on. Besides, much of what Splendid table discusses takes time rather than money. I listened when I ate much Top Ramon in college and still made use of the advice though my food budget was limited to say the least.

If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
