Today on the LA Food Podcast, which LA restaurant was named one of Bon Appetit's Best New Restaurants of 2024? What's the secret to Chef Josiah Citrin's longevity? And which famous Los Angeles fruit did Tejal Rao dedicate an entire New York Times column to? Father Sal's with us to discuss all of it, in addition to the pros and cons of guest chef dinners, the magical world of restaurant music playlists, and a round of bad idea/horrible idea featuring vegan food festivals, insane customized drinks, and a new LA Times seasoning rub question mark? In Part 2, we're joined by olive oil specialist Lisa Pollack of Corto Olive Oil, located in Northern California. We do something a little different and I actually hand the reins of the pod over to Lisa so that she can treat us to our very own olive oil masterclass.
