Please join us for our big (and properly candy-infused) Halloween show. We promise all treats and no tricks whatsoever…We’re previewing the show with Executive Producer & Co-Host Andy Harris.
“Designed by Hollywood luminary Paul Feig (“Bridesmaids,”) ARTINGSTALL’S Brilliant London Dry Gin is a perfectly-balanced gin for aficionados and casual consumers alike. Its eleven carefully chosen botanicals all synchronize to make ARTINGSTALL’S Brilliant London Dry Gin as unique, refined and entertaining as its creator.” The always dapper Paul Feig joins us with a proper Gin martini in hand.
Led by Chef Jonathan Blackford (ex-A Restaurant and CdM Restaurant,) the newly launched Fork & Knife in Costa Mesa aims to present a menu of progressive, modern dishes that are meant to be enjoyed at home. Serving as an extension of the home kitchen, the concept presents globally inspired dishes that focus on fresh ingredients and bold flavors while presenting an innovative experience. Fork & Knife’s honest approach to cooking comes through in seasonal, from-scratch fully prepared meals and inspired grab-and-go items that change daily, ranging from sandwiches and prepared pastas, to easy-to-eat-on-the-go dishes and desserts. The kitchen also oversees the production of house-made retail-focused items such as fresh-made pastas, jams, sauces, dressings and more. Chef Jonathan has the salivating update for us.
“Two-time Top Chef finalist, former host of the Emmy Award Winning daytime talk show, The Chew, best-selling author and Food Network personality, Carla Hall has added podcast host to her resume with her first-ever original show from Wondery, “Say Yes! With Carla Hall.” Hall takes listeners through her career trajectory and shares how she turned repetitive nos into yeses. Each week Hall is joined by a special guest and together they will take a deep dive into how they found success through overcoming challenges. Guests include Kristen Bell, Wolfgang Puck, Paul Scheer, Loni Love, Marcus Samuelsson, Gail Simmons, Gretchen Rubin, Duff Goldman and Yeardley Smith.” We’re making biscuits with warmth and humor with Carla Hall.
“Established in 2016, CraftWine.org is a membership organization that helps the owners, vintners, and winemakers of small production wineries to increase the market for Craft Wine. The association certifies Craft Wineries and sponsors an online marketplace called NxtCrush that directly supports wineries who can sell their certified and distinctly American wine directly to consumers.” CraftWine.org is on a mission to make craft wine as available in the marketplace as craft beer and spirits. We’ll meet Carole Lawson who is the Founder and CEO of CraftWine.org.
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. Chef Andrew is regularly updating us on the impact of the Covid-19 crisis in the hospitality field and what we, as diners, can do to support the very survival of restaurants. We’re continuing our discussion about salt. Chef Andrew will be introducing us to Bamboo Salt (also known as Jukyeom) which originated many hundreds of years ago in Korea. It’s again time to “Ask the Chef.”
All of this and heaping helpings of extra deliciousness (with proper Social Distancing) on this week’s not-to-miss show!
