This week, we chat with Chef Daniel Holzman, who owns Danny Boy's Famous Original, a two-location operation in Los Angeles, California. We spoke with Daniel a few days before the catastrophic wildfires broke out in LA. So, our conversation with Daniel focused on his career, the growth of Danny Boy's and what he has learned in the restaurant business. Danny Boy's locations are currently safe. We would like to recognize Danny Boy's, who has quickly provided sanctuary for those affected. Both pizzerias are feeding the community, firefighters and first responders. More background on Daniel: Daniel started his cooking career at the age of 15 at Le Bernardin in New York City and remained there for four years until (at the suggestion of chef Eric Ripert) he attended the CIA. He then accepted a position at the soon-to-open Palladin in New York City under chef Jean-Louis Palladin (and worked alongside Wylie Dufresne and Sam Mason, among others). He went on to begin what would ultimately become a 10-year culinary journey through some of the West Coast's finest restaurants, including The Campton Place, The Fifth Floor, Aqua and Jardinière.In 2010, he co-founded The Meatball Shop in New York City. The fast-casual mix-and-match menu of meatballs was an instant hit. Five more locations of The Meatball Shop opened in NYC in quick succession, and he also co-authored The Meatball Shop Cookbook, published in 2011.He moved to LA in 2019 to embark on a new passion -- pizza -- and opened Danny Boy's Famous Original, the slice joint of his childhood dreams, in 2021. Describing the years-long his years-long odyssey to perfect the New York-style slice: "As a classically trained chef, I approach pizza with reverence. Pizza isn't fast food; it's one of America's most important dishes. And to understand how to make it great, I deconstructed everything about it. I searched out masters across the country, learned the history, and sampled thousands of pies. I interrogated oven makers, traveled to tomato farms, tried grains from countless flour mills, and experimented with the perfect cheese blend."Since opening, he's received praise from LA Magazine for his "ultrawide, perfectly foldable, tangy-crusted slices [that] nail it"; LAist for being a "NY-style pizzeria that absolutely rips"; and Eater LA, which claimed "There may be no better New York-style slice spot in LA than Danny Boy's right now.” He just opened his second location of Danny Boy's this past summer, and has his sights set on a third.He's also the co-author (with Matt Rodbard) of Food IQ: 100 Questions, Answers, and Recipes to Raise Your Cooking Smarts, released in 2022. (Some of the questions they answer include: "Why does pasta always taste better in a restaurant?", "When is it okay to cook with frozen vegetables?", and "What is baker's math, and why is it the secret to perfect pastry every time?")Last but not least, he also co-hosts On the Line, a podcast during which he and co-host Chef Amanda Freitag interview culinary innovators.More on the LA WildfiresAmong the horrible devastation from the wildfires in Los Angeles, we know there were pizzerias have been lost. Our new Senior Editor Kate Lavin is reporting on the LA Wildfires and the Pizza Community, including local pizzerias directly assisting the efforts on the ground, as well as Slice Out Hunger, who is rallying pizzerias in a fundraising effort to provide emergency funds.

Amanda Freitag is a judge on Chopped, has battled Bobby Flay on Iron Chef America, and she competed for the title of America’s Next Iron Chef. When she was growing up in New Jersey, Amanda’s passion for food was fostered by everyone from her grandparents to her high school home economics teacher. They encouraged her to pursue a cooking career and to enroll at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, N.Y. After she graduated from culinary school, Amanda’s first position in a New York City kitchen was as rotissier and garde manger at Vong under the guidance of Jean-Georges Vongerichten. It was there that she was introduced to marrying French technique with Southeast Asian ingredients and flavors. In 1994, Amanda began working with Chef Diane Forley at Verbena, where she rose quickly through the ranks to become the restaurant’s chef de cuisine. Forley taught Amanda the importance of using local, organic ingredients and introduced her to the Union Square Greenmarket. During her time at Verbena, Amanda realized how much she had yet to learn about the culinary world, and in 1999 she traveled extensively through France and Italy to explore the bountiful markets and progressive restaurant scenes. While in Paris, she spent two weeks working under Chef Alain Passard at his venerable Arpège restaurant. While her time there was short, the lessons she learned were life-changing. At Arpège, Passard insisted on the freshest ingredients, so there was nothing left in the walk-in refrigerators at the end of service besides butter. This eye-opening experience helped Amanda to further develop her deep appreciation of superlative ingredients and the flavors of the Mediterranean region. Upon returning to New York, Amanda worked at some of the city’s most popular restaurants, including Cesca, where she cooked alongside Tom Valenti as his chef de cuisine and earned two stars from The New York Times. Following Cesca, Amanda accepted the position of executive chef at Gusto in the West Village, where her food was met with critical acclaim. In January 2008, Amanda took over as the executive chef at The Harrison in Tribeca. Over the three years that she helmed the kitchen, The Harrison received numerous accolades from local and national media, including a two-star review from The New York Times. Amanda’s first cookbook, The Chef Next Door: A Pro Chef’s Recipes for Fun, Fearless Home Cooking, was released in September 2015. When she is not in the kitchen, Amanda enjoys traveling the world and collecting restaurant menus to add to her ever-growing collection.

This week on Snacky Tunes, Greg and Darin welcome Amanda Freitag, one of New York’s most celebrated chefs, and the band Kal Marks, who came all the way from Boston to play some rock. Amanda is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, and a well known TV personality and chef for battling Bobby Flay on Iron Chef America on the Food Network. Getting her start under the guidance of Jean-Georges Vongerichten at Vong New York, she eventually teamed up with legendary restaurateur Godfrey Polistina (Carmine’s, Ouest, Virgil’s BBQ) to start the popular upper west side restaurant Cesca Enoteca & Trattoria. Most recently, Amanda was the executive chef at Gusto in the West Village, where she received both critical and popular acclaim. Lastly, Freitag found a new opportunity at The Harrsion in Tribeca. Since Freitag’s arrival, The Harrison has received numerous accolades from local and national media, including a two-star review from The New York Times, as well as features in Time Out New York, New York Magazine and Forbes Life. Boston’s Kal Marks (originally the solo project of Carl Shane and now a trio) are set to release their first full length album as this lineup, and first recorded in a real studio, Life Is Murder, on September 17 via Exploding In Sound/Sophomore Lounge/Midnight Werewolf. They come from a scene of other young raging rock bands (like Pile and Speedy Ortiz), and like those bands, Kal Marks get loud. But they’re also part of a long lineage of indie rock bands with weird-voiced singers that spans from bands like Modest Mouse or Wolf Parade to more recent things like Alt-J. Ever wondered what Titus Andronicus might have sounded like if Patrick Stickles was more into Isaac Brock and less into Conor Oberst? Kal Marks could be your answer. “When I got to The Harrison, I got a call asking if I wanted to be on Iron Chef. I had a great experience that led to Chopped.” [24:30] — Amanda Freitag on Snacky Tunes
