Food is the New Rock

Ep. 148 - AJ and Dak from L.A. indie pop band Saint Motel are this week's guests. We talk to Dak about his days as a sushi chef, and AJ give us his picks for best restauants in L.A. and on the road.

Ep. 147 - Our podcast guest this week is Philadelphia Chef Marc Vetri, owner of the Vetri Family of restaurants and the guy who Tom Colicchio called the best chef guitarist he knows. We talk about the bands he was in before becoming a chef, the music and food series he does with musician Phil Roy, and his new cookbook "Mastering Pasta".

Ep. 143 - Guns N Roses might not be the topic you'd expect us to spend over an hour talking about with the owner of Canter's, the famous Jewish deli in L.A.'s Fairfax district. But that's exactly what we did w/ Marc Canter last week, who not only grew up with Slash but has documented practically his entire career. He was there when Guns N Roses was formed, and his book "Reckless Road" is full of stories and pictures from that time. Recently he was the subject of an Uproxx documentary about G'nR, prompting us to sit down with the 3rd generation deli owner. We talk Guns N Roses, the Sunset Strip, and (of course) pastrami.

Ep. 139 - Momofuku Chef and Lucky Peach Editor David Chang returns to the podcast this week to talk food, music, and a little bit of basketball. Recorded at SxSw, we talk to David about his love of Phish and the death of Rock N Roll, plus we go deep about the big Jeremy Fox article in Lucky Peach. Zach also brings up how Dave may or may not have promised him free Momofuku Ssam Bar for life from a SxSw stage two days earlier.
