Easter, Passover and Ramadan holiday good wishes to all.

Chef Robert Biebrich is the Senior Executive Chef for Legends at SoFi Stadium at Hollywood Park in Inglewood. Robert was previously the Executive Chef right here at Angel Stadium. Chef Robert and his culinary team were responsible earlier this year for the elevated food and beverage served to 70,000 VIP Guests at the Super Bowl. We’ll meet him.

Jenny Goldfarb, aka Mrs. Goldfarb, is the Founder & CEO of Unreal Deli, the country’s leading provider of premium plant-based deli meats. Unreal Deli is meat from a (truly happy) farm, not a factory, made with locally-sourced ingredients you can pronounce. With no experience in the food sector, let alone launching a company, Jenny gave birth to this rapidly expanding business in her tiny kitchen while pregnant with her 3rd child. Her great-grandfather, Morris Gross, immigrated to NYC in 1907 and worked his way up from dishwasher to owning several NY delis.” Jenny Goldfarb is our guest with an overstuffed Unreal Deli Corn’d Beef Reuben on corn rye in hand.

Alma Rosa Winery is situated on the north-facing slopes of the Santa Rosa Hills in Santa Barbara County. The wines are layered, vibrant and balanced, and they reflect the special terroir of the Sta. Rita Hills, which benefits from cool Pacific Ocean breezes funneled inland through the unique transverse mountain range of the region. Founder and Winery Ambassador Richard Sanford planted the first Pinot Noir in the region in 1971. He provides invaluable experience in guiding Alma Rosa’s focus on excellence and balance in all Alma Rosa does. Winemaker Samra Morris (born and raised in Bosnia) brings sensitivity and technique inspired by great winemakers in California and Burgundy to wine growing and wine-making.” Winemaker Samra Morris joins us to gently pull the cork on all that is Alma Rosa Winery & Vineyards.

Our own Chef Andrew Gruel of the Slapfish Restaurant Group provides another timely and informative “Ask the Chef” segment where Chef Andrew responds to listeners thoughtful inquiries. Farmed seafood, raised sustainably, is a good path for the United States to increase domestic production. Farming fish has moved inland from ocean aquaculture which is a positive development. Chef Andrew will explain the benefits.

All of this and heaping helpings of extra deliciousness on this week’s not-to-miss show!
