Today, I am blessed to have here with me Chef Michael Silverstein. Michael was just recently crowned Runner-up on the All-star season of MasterChef with Gordon Ramsay! After beating out tens of thousands of competitors on Season 10 of MasterChef on FOX, he returned to battle on MasterChef Season 12, proving once again that he is one of the best cooks in America! Michael's bestselling cookbooks, “New Keto Cooking” & “New Comfort Cooking”, along with his upcoming third book, “New Keto: Dinner in 30!”, have been endorsed by Michelin-star celebrity chefs Gordon Ramsay, Graham Elliot, and Aaron Sanchez. Michael has been featured in PEOPLE Magazine, E! News, Hallmark Channel, NPR, Good Morning America, New York Post, National Examiner, Closer Weekly, Allrecipes, Delish, Medium, FeedFeed, FoodBeast, Newsweek, Diply, Mashed, and more! As a three-time bestselling cookbook author, social media star, and TV personality, Michael is passionate about the power of cooking to improve one's life. After losing more than 80 pounds in one year on the Ketogenic diet, Michael enthusiastically believes that health starts in the kitchen. And hopes to continue helping others make incredible food at home while finding joy and empowerment through their cooking. His recipes prove that eating better does not mean giving up your favorite foods. Michael's recipes are healthy, bold, and delicious - nothing like the “diet” food you may be used to. In this episode, Michael speaks about the importance of self-love in personal and professional success. Michael dives into his health transformation and all the physical, emotional, and mental benefits he felt after trying a ketogenic lifestyle. Plus, he explains how to listen to your body and give it what it needs. Tune in as we chat all about easy keto recipes, finding a variety in your cooking, and how a ketogenic diet can vastly improve your mental well-being.

[06:05] Why Self-Love Is The Key To Personal and Professional Success Before his health transformation, Michael never wanted to look in the mirror; he wanted to be invisible in a room. Michael found empowerment because losing weight unlocked strength and confidence inside of him. Michael has a newfound passion for honoring himself and being his best version. Finding love for yourself can play into your personal and professional life. [19:05] How a Keto Lifestyle Played a Role In Michael's Health Transformation Michael wanted to find an approach to diet that still allowed him to love food. After learning about keto, Michael realized he could still have steak and butter. Michael started a keto diet by completely doubting himself. He didn't even tell his fiancé that he was cutting out carbs. Michael didn't want the shame of failing when trying the keto diet. Keto allowed Michael to feel empowerment, energy, strength, and health. Ten years of acid reflux were gone in two or three weeks of the keto diet. Michael's body was telling him that keto was working within days. [25:15] How To Listen To What Your Body Is Telling You It took Michael thirty years to realize how much your body will talk to you. Michael lost 80 pounds in one year because he was really focused. On a weight loss journey, you become aware of how much your body communicates with you and how you feel. Before getting healthy, Michael never listened to what his body told him. Michael lost weight without even walking into a gym. [30:25] Finding A Variety and Diversity With a Ketogenic Lifestyle Diversity and a variety of food are essential to keep it exciting. Some people thrive on not having to think about what they eat daily. Michael loves to explore the world of food that is out there. Part of Michael's personal journey was finding ways to make keto food sexy enough for him to want it every night. [39:40] Food Determines Your Mood: Health Starts and Ends In The Kitchen Your stomach is your second brain; the gut microbiome sends signals that affect every part of our body's systems mentally, physically, psychologically, and emotionally. It's challenging to tell if your mood is better because of the food or if it is better because you decided to change your life. Michael says keto changed his mood right away. Health starts and ends in the kitchen; there is serious power in the food you eat. [44:00] Fitting The Keto Diet Into Your Lifestyle Is Quick and Simple Michael likes to teach people with his cooking books. Finding good recipes will help you enjoy cooking more. Michael's keto recipes are 30 minutes or less. They are all delicious and easy! You need to find food that you enjoy cooking.

"If 9/11 and the credit crisis were wrapped up into one, this would still be worse." The Coronavirus has created a crisis in the restaurant industry, and while they’re fighting to stay open, others have already shuttered as they are not built for any other format other than sit-down, dine-in. In this week’s episode, we are joined by Jonathan Maze, Editor In Chief at Restaurant Business Magazine. Maze breaks down what restaurants are currently going through, and what it would take for them to survive not only now, but in the future. Also, while self-quarantined, the Katchup crew discusses its own experiences with restaurants at the time of a California lockdown, and how Foodbeast’s coverage has changed since the outbreak. We also talk to our own resident food scientist, Constantine Spyrou, to get some little known facts about canned foods. --- Thank you all so much for listening!

Korean BBQ is a unique experience where you get to be the grillmaster while still sitting at a table and conversing with loved ones. It's a fairly perfect dinner that you wouldn't think needs an upgrade, but we found a way to make the eating experience a tad better. On today's Katchup Lite episode, the guys talk about Producer Izzy's recent KBBQ journey where he sneaked in tortillas and made burritos with fellow Foodbeast legend Peter Pham. Izzy details his experience and talks about how tortillas should be the new standard for Korean BBQ restaurants. Happy New Year, fellow Fatties! --- Thank you all so much for listening!

Italy is the birthplace of pizza, and while many try to replicate the classic Neapolitan style, there's nothing quite like the real thing. Well, now one of the oldest pizza shops in Italy has touched down on U.S. soil for the first time, as L'Antica Pizzeria Da Michele just opened in Los Angeles, California. Considered by many, including the whole Foodbeast office, the best pizza in the world, da Michele has been the go-to pizzeria in Naples for almost 150 years. With imported ingredients, a classic two pizza menu, and a one-of-a-kind atmosphere, Da Michele is now bringing a taste of Italy to Hollywood. On this episode of The Katchup, we talk to Francesco Zimone, the man responsible for making the groundbreaking move happen. Zimone explains what it took to convince the pizzeria's family to give their blessing, why he chose Los Angeles to bear this historic pizza, and the obstacles he had to maneuver through before opening the hottest new restaurant in L.A. --- Thank you all so much for listening!

Visalia, California - home to Tacos Lucha! In the Season 2 finale, we talk to Chris of Tacos Lucha about food, family, and what drew him to California's Central Valley and why he chose to share his tacos with the community there!
After Foodbeast posted a video highlighting a restaurant and a special menu they called the "Lao Table Feast," a Lao chef spoke up for the underrepresented community and called out the content within the video. Saying that there was not a single Lao dish on the menu, chef Saeng Douangdara accused Foodbeast of misrepresenting the culture. In a tense conversation about culture, the Katchup crew strived to learn more bout Lao cuisine, how its history connects to Thai-American food, and how lesser known cuisines can be better highlighted in media. In this episode, we learn about the how Lao people came to the U.S., why they would hide their food under the "Thai" name, and what it has taken for the community to get exposure for its home cuisine. --- Thank you all so much for listening!

Tijuana, Mexico - home of the Tijuana style taco that's sweeping across Southern California with ferocity. It's also the birthplace of Tacos 1986, Los Angeles' taco rock stars. We sit down with Jorge Alvarez-Tostado to talk about their beginning, cooking for SXSW, and why he thinks they have the best adobada in town.
A pair of Instagram-powered vending machines have appeared in Los Angeles and California. The concept is simple: The Dream Machine gives you a specific hashtag, you take a selfie, post it, and receive a randomly chosen prize within the vending machine, including Nissin Cup Noodles, videogames and gift cards. The vending machines definitely gives off Black Mirror vibes, providing a sneak peek into a world where social media is used as currency, which may or may not scare you. Admittedly, Foodbeast is behind these insane machines, and we talked to the two geniuses who built them, essentially from scratch. Developers Rudy Chaney and Christopher Abouabdo explain what it took to create something that didn't exist, had no blueprint to follow, and resulted in a futuristic concept that has had people flocking to the Del Amo Fashion Center in Torrance, California, and the Las Vegas South Premium Outlets in Las Vegas, Nevada. --- Thank you all so much for listening!

The Puffy Taco. It originates in San Antonio, Texas, but it's been in California for over 4 decades, and its story starts with Gloria Lopez of Arturo's Puffy Taco in Whittier, California. We sat down with Gloria to talk about her world-famous taco, and where it came from.
Foodbeast has made its fair share of enemies in the past, but its not often those foes shows up Foodbeast HQ and hash things out in real time. Entrepreneur Bear D'Egidio has seen success in multiple avenues, from paintball parks, to clothing lines. In his first foray into the food world, he has already created a major buzz with his marshmallow-smothered, flashy Magical Burger. Celebrities across the country traveled to Irvine, California just to try this burger and support D'Egidio. Foodbeast was not impressed, and had no interest in covering the colorful burger. D'Egidio felt personally attacked and made his way to the Katchup podcast to clear the air, discuss his business acumen, the reception to his loud marketing tactics, and his unorthodox approach to becoming a restaurateur. --- Thank you all so much for listening!

Personal trainer and wellness coach Anne Phung joins the podcast, and takes us through her own struggles with her body image. A former Miss Vietnam winner, societal norms would tell us her pageant body is the goal, but that wasn't the case for her. Phung takes us through the unhealthy route she took to maintain that type of body, how it affected her mentally and emotionally, and even leading to a period of unhealthy weight gain. After years of fighting with her body and its image, she found a physical and mental balance, learned to love the process of finding that balance, and now strives to help others do the same. The Katchup crew shares its own personal relationships with food, the struggle for balance while being a Foodbeast, and work through the health issues with the help of Phung's expertise. ---- Thank you all so much for listening!

From Pueblo to Pico Rivera, taquero Ether Aguilar talks about what makes his tacos at Tacos Ah Carbon different from the competition, and what makes his carne asada so authentic.
From 2 hour lines for sandwiches, to trendy merch collabs, today's food world has been heavily influenced by "streetwear" culture. This week we bring in Miles Canares, who curated the food installation for ComplexCon, and Foodbeast managing editor Reach Guinto, both who cut their teeth in the streetwear world. Restaurateurs have created hype using similar tactics that The Hundreds, Supreme, and other popular street brands, as the two cultures collide more than you'd expect. We discuss the cultural successes of street-inspired food hubs such as Kogi BBQ, After's Ice Cream, and Howlin' Rays. Even Foodbeast itself was inspired by streetwear culture. As the years go by, the streetwear culture gets more deeply ingrained in food culture, and could continue in the future. ---- Thank you all so much for listening!

Our resident food scientist, Constantine Spyrou, joined The Katchup to explore his controversial article questioning lettuce's importance in the food world. From its susceptibility to bacteria, negative effects on the environment, and lack of nutritional value, Spyrou makes his case on why lettuce should be "eradicated from the face of the earth." More importantly, he has drawn the ire of Foodbeast founder Elie Ayrouth, in the process. Lettuce has become a key fabric to American cooking, and the thought of its usefulness has never really been questioned, until now. Elie and Constantine had a heated back and forth in this episode, while Geoff Kutnick acted as moderator for a topic we didn't know would cause such a ruckus. ---- Thank you all so much for listening!

Tweet LIVE this Sunday, January 14th at 635pm Small Bites with Glenn Gross and Derek Timm of Bluejeanfood.com on Wildfire Radio returns with more foodie fun. We welcome Michael Ungaro the Vice President of San Pedro Fish Market and Restaurant and one of the stars of Kings of FI$H that has had over 40 million viewers and just premiered Season 4 of the show. San Pedro Fish Market is California's Largest Restaurant; declared one of the Top 10 Most Instragramed restaurant in America a few years in a row, has been awarded 4 Guinness World Records, and with millions served making it literally California's busiest dining destination annually. "Kings of Fi$h" is based on three generations of the San Pedro Fish Market family who have been in the fish business since 1956, and the hilarious series highlights the entrepreneurial family spirit and frames the strong characters that make up this booming family run business. Featured on Foodbeast for the restaurant's world famous mouthwatering "Super Tray," the San Pedro Fish Market and the Ungaro family attract not only LA locals, but people from around the world, including celebrities such as Sofia Vergara lookalike Tati Polo spotlight on a show.The San Pedro Fish Market began their journey 60 years ago in the water front section of the Los Angeles Harbor. The founder Tommy was put in charge of the fish market when he was a teenager along with his cousin Henry. A live seafood section was developed where customers could pick their own Lobster and Crab and have it steamed fresh. Additionally, they developed their own smoked-fish recipe and garnered quite a following for Smoked Halibut, Salmon, Tuna, Cod, Swordfish, and many others. These were the first moves towards selling a cooked, ready-to-eat product and would eventually lead to their "World-Famous Shrimp Tray." We also welcome Erik Andersson the Brand Ambassador for Hendrick's Ginproduced by William Grant & Sons out of VisitScotland. Founded in 1999, in addition to the traditional juniper infusion, Hendrick's uses Bulgarian rose and cucumber to add flavour. Hendrick's gin is bottled in a dark brown apothecary-style bottle. The Wall Street Journal described Hendrick's as the "Best Gin in the World" and other spirit ratings organizations have been very complimentary as well with San Francisco World Spirits Competitionawarding Hendrick's Gin two double gold, two gold, and three silver medals and The Beverage Testing Institute giving the gin well-above-average scores of 93, 94 and 95. Sounds Ginrifick to us! Joining us in studio as well will be Vernon Rochester the owner of Rochester's Barbecue & Grill in Borough of Lawnside, New Jersey. They are a BYOB and Wine Bar featuring wines from Sharrott Winery expertly paired with each meal, Wednesday Nights - All You Can Eat BBQ, and also locals love their Saturday Night Jazz sessions from 5:00 pm – 10:00 pm featuring Michael J Corman, an amazing Keyboardist/Vocalist. They focus on soul food, barbecue, and southern cooking, but with locally sourced products as much as possible with a focus on dietary diversity. They do traditionally prepared items on the menu such as their amazing Ollie's Triple beans, made with ground beef, sausage and bacon and simmered with “secret spices” all the way to a variety of vegetarian and vegan dishes to choose from. You heard right, they also focus on vegetarian and vegan dishes. They were also recently highlighted in the Courier Post by Lisa Howard-Fusco. You can read the article here: http://www.courierpostonline.com/…/lawnside-roch…/813594001/ To top it all off and spice things up we also have coming on Christophe Hervieu the Founder and CEO of Simply Beyond. Simply Beyond products are inspired by and created for passionate cooks and real families. Because of their love of cooking with their children, and their appreciation for flavorful herbs, founders Christophe and Katia chose to share their passion with other families and food lovers.

Christophe and Katia's sincere desire to share quality ingredients, delicious recipes, and life-improving convenience is evident in every ounce, in every taste, of Simply Beyond.

"I swear to God that's not cocaine you just touched on the table!" Switching this up on the podcast this week. I've been hearing from the PR, Marketing, Media, Foodie and Hustlers listening and commenting, so decided to do a couple Founder Series episodes with some amazing stories within the food industry. As a co-founder of Foodbeast (@bookofelie, catch me on Instagram eyyyy!), I'm fascinated by the come-up stories of successful food entrepreneurs. One of the stories I've been dying to unfurl involves Chef Andrew Gruel, a champion of sustainable seafood and the founder of Slapfish restaurants, what Forbes magazine calles the 'Chipotle of Seafood.' As any real founding story would have it, Andrew's journey is riddled with borrowing money from friends, pooping his pants in public, crack houses in Maine, and a failed 75-unit multi-million-dollar Middle East deal that nearly cost him his entire company. We also get into it about food influencers vs. traditional PR to promote your restaurant. I hope you enjoy this episode, really appreciate any comments y'all leave here on Soundcloud, what we can do better, who you'd like to hear from next, and if you learned anything from Andrew on this episode! Please do follow Andrew Gruel and everything he does if you don't already: @slapfishseafood http://instagram.com/andrewgruel http://twitter.com/chefgruel ---------- http://foodbeast.com @foodbeast @bookofelie Thanks to Constantine Spyrou, Brayden Curtis, Oscar Gonzalez and Geoffrey Kutnick!
