A native Angeleno, Jordan has a razor-sharp wit and loves to observe, skewer, and revel in all aspects of food and pop culture. Okun’s culinary comedy podcast AIR JORDAN, where he talks everything edible with guests such as Wolfgang Puck, Phil Rosenthal, BJ Novak, and Jon Shook & Vinny Dotolo has been profiled in Hollywood Reporter and featured in Food & Wine and on Eater. Okun’s debut novel L.A. FADEAWAY is a darkly comedic journey of an eager assistant at a talent agency and the rarified access it provides to Los Angeles and its restaurants. The book, published by Simon & Schuster, was profiled in The Wall Street Journal, Hollywood Reporter and Los Angeles Times. Okun has developed scripted television projects with Joel McHale for IFC and TV Land and continues developing scripted and non-scripted food shows. He started his career watching VHS submissions for America’s Funniest Home Videos, and later witnessed even more testicle shattering action in the ICM mailroom. He respects shrimp cocktail, has never had a glass of milk in his life, and can speak for hours on the art of the breadbasket. AIR JORDAN: A FOOD PODCAST is available wherever podcasts are heard.

This week on The Stew we welcome Jordan Okun, a food writer based here in Los Angeles who is not only a talented eater, but a Stew fan, so he's able to slide right in with Jason and Andre's pod sensibilities. We chat about “MajorDomo," the new Momofuku restaurant here in LA, the bread at Cheesecake Factory, the best slice of Pizza in LA, Jonathan Gold still at the top? Grand Central Market, what's a better idea for a first date, bar or restaurant, and so much more!

Writer Jordan Okun joins host Robin Milling to talk about the inspiration for his debut novel L.A. Fadeaway, about what it takes to rise up the ranks to become a Hollywood agent. Jordan himself got his start at ICM, one of the biggest talent agencies in Hollywood, and rose through the assistant ranks. Disillusioned with the reality of the job, it was there he began journaling. Those journals became the blueprint for his protoganist, who would achieve the agency status Jordan initially desired. Jordan admits his own guilty pleasure for tabloid gossip can get the best of him, sharing an insider's view into the goings-on in the Hollywood biz. He tells Robin his book is a cautionary tale as well as entertainment. In fact some agents have been 'sniffing' around for possible film and television deals. Jordan would love to see his book made into a film with Andrew Garfield as the lead but first he is working on his second novel, exploring the fraternity world.
