Melissa Lopez is the James Beard semifinalist chef behind Barra Santos, one of the buzziest restaurants in recent memory to grace Los Angeles. Barra Santos is a tiny, sardine-tin of a restaurant in Cypress Park serving up thoughtful, super high-quality Portuguese fare. But as small as the restaurant's footprint is, the noise it's made since opening has been nothing short of deafening. After visiting the restaurant myself, I knew I wanted to get to know the mastermind behind the operation, and Chef Melissa did not disappoint. Would I go so far as to say we've got one of the country's brightest rising stars on our hands? Yes, yes, I would. But listen to the interview and visit Barra Santos to make up your own mind on the matter. But first, a nasally rendition of a couple of things that caught my eye this week. There's a Jenn Harris piece on how the tariffs are endangering the diversity that makes LA's food scene one of the best in the country, a Substack newsletter (Khushbu Shah's Tap Is Fine) on whether or not we should view influencers as experts, and an exciting new survey (from Emily Wilson at The Angel) on what Angelenos want from restaurants that I highly encourage you to take. Helpful Links:Jenn Harris on tariffs https://www.latimes.com/food/story/2025-04-11/los-angeles-restaurants-tariffs-southeast-asian-foodLaurie Ochoa on chili crisp and tariffs https://www.latimes.com/food/newsletter/2025-04-12/its-too-late-to-tariff-the-globalization-out-of-american-cuisine-more-chili-crisp-please-tasting-notesKhushbu Shah on influencers, amateurs, and expertise https://khushbushah.substack.com/p/when-did-we-all-become-afraid-of?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=2026436&post_id=161441896&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=31nins&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=emailEmily Wilson's survey in The Angel https://www.theangel.la/p/what-angelenos-want-from-restaurants-survey?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1717567&post_id=161269590&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=31nins&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email&hide_intro_popup=trueGab Chabran and Suzanne Levy on grants for restaurants from the California Restaurant Foundation https://laist.com/news/food/10-000-grant-available-for-restaurants-affected-by-la-firesBarra Santos https://www.barrasantosla.com/–Go check out The Lonely Oyster in Echo Park! ⁠https://thelonelyoyster.com/⁠–Get 10% off at House of Macadamias using code "LAFOOD" https://www.houseofmacadamias.com/pages/la-foods

It's time for the 2025 Top Chef Fantasy Draft!Season 22 of Top Chef kicked off this week in Canada. As we do every year, Father Sal and I hosted a draft of the 15 competitors vying for the title of Top Chef. We're joined by 2024 champion Jessie Evans (alias @Jessie_Eats on Instagram), and Nancy DaSilva and Bits Nicholas of the Compliments to the Chef podcast. Plus, an LA Times article on a one-man tasting menu in Downtown LA, and a New York Times feature on a, erm, controversial restaurant in London town…Helpful links:Bravo Top Chef https://www.bravotv.com/top-chefCompliments to the Chef podcast https://open.spotify.com/show/5ySvTZh0inCpq1SJP9baq6Jessie Eats on IG https://www.instagram.com/jessie_eats/?hl=enHeather Platt on Sora Craft Kitchen https://www.latimes.com/food/story/2025-03-11/restaurants-los-angeles-one-employee-sora-craft-kitchenAmelia Nierenberg on The Yellow Bittern https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/05/dining/yellow-bittern-london-restaurant.html–Go check out The Lonely Oyster in Echo Park! ⁠https://thelonelyoyster.com/⁠–Get 10% off at House of Macadamias using code "LAFOOD" https://www.houseofmacadamias.com/pages/la-foods

We're joined today by Chef Johnny Lee, the mastermind behind Rasarumah, one of LA's hottest new restaurants serving inventive Southeast Asian food with a heavy Malaysian bent. Chef Johnny joins us to talk about the new concept, but also about what it was like to say goodbye to his deeply personal project Pearl River Deli. We talk about Hainan chicken, the struggles of learning to be a business operator when you've mostly worked the line your entire career, and what it's been like to partner with Last Word Hospitality on his new exciting venture.But first, I had the distinct pleasure of attending Taco Bell's Live Mas Live event in Brooklyn earlier this week. This is their event in the mold of Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference in which they offer sneak peeks from their test kitchen and roll out the new menu items for the year ahead. I met up with Daniel Wargo AKA Forking Around in the lobby of our hotel the morning after the event to debrief. Yes, we talk about which drops we're most excited about, but we also ask ourselves what LA restaurants can learn from the Live Mas lifestyle. I was honestly surprised by how much I enjoyed this event - not just the food, but really the ethos behind what Taco Bell does to innovate and to build a relationship with its fans. I think there's tons that even the most mom and pop of establishments can learn by taking a page out of the chalupa handbook, so to speak. Helpful links:Rasarumah https://rasarumah.com/Taco Bell Live Mas LIVE recap https://www.chowhound.com/1804512/taco-bell-new-menu-items-2025/Daniel Wargo https://www.instagram.com/forkingaround.tv/?hl=en–Go check out The Lonely Oyster in Echo Park! ⁠https://thelonelyoyster.com/⁠–Get 10% off at House of Macadamias using code "LAFOOD" https://www.houseofmacadamias.com/pages/la-foods

Today we're joined by LA Times food reporter Stephanie Breijo to discuss a brand new petition LA restaurateurs are bringing to city and state lawmakers. Stephanie has been on the frontlines of covering the tough time restaurants have been having over the last couple of years, and she actually joined the restaurateurs as they ventured to City Hall to meet with lawmakers and make their requests known. But the million dollar questions are - what are they asking for, and will it actually help? Listen to find out. In Part 2, it's my conversation with James Beard semfinalist Chef Rashida Holmes of Bridgetown Roti. I visited Chef Rashida at her acclaimed Carribean restaurant to learn about her journey from pop-up to brick and mortar. We wound up talking about a laundry list of enticing topic, including why there's a dearth of Carribean food in LA and what she's hoping lawmakers will do to ease the burden on small business owners like herself. And what she thought of the Luka Doncic trade as a dedicated Mavs fan! Helpful Links:Breijo on LA restaurants' petition https://www.latimes.com/food/story/2025-02-06/la-chefs-restaurateurs-petition-lawmakers-for-supportBreijo on IG https://www.instagram.com/breij/?hl=enBridgetown Roti https://www.bridgetownroti.com/Chef Rashida on IG https://www.instagram.com/chefrashidaholmes/?hl=enEater on sexy restaurants https://www.eater.com/24363702/sexy-restaurant-date-night-design?_gl=1*doavp3*_ga*NTY3MzcwNDY5LjE2Nzk1MzY5MTc.*_ga_GMSWCRTSTY*MTczOTQxMDMxNC4yODkuMS4xNzM5NDEwNjg2LjI1LjAuMA..Breijo and Danielle Dorsey on supper clubs https://www.latimes.com/food/list/best-supper-clubs-restaurants-live-music-los-angeles–Go check out The Lonely Oyster in Echo Park! ⁠https://thelonelyoyster.com/⁠–Get 10% off at House of Macadamias using code "LAFOOD" https://www.houseofmacadamias.com/pages/la-foods

We're joined by Brad Metzger, President of hospitality recruitment firm Brad Metzger Restaurant Solutions, and Ryan O'Melveny WIlson, the CEO of legendary Los Angeles restaurant group Lawry's, to hear about Chefs Love LA, an unforgettable evening of food and wine, celebrating LA heroes and supporting the restaurant community impacted by the fires. World-famous chefs including Curtis Stone, Jonathan Waxman, Daniel Bouloud, Nyesha Harrington, Jordan Kahn and many many more are all uniting on February 27 for what promises to be a culinary Live Aid happening at Lawry's The Prime Rib in Beverly Hills, with all proceeds benefiting World Central Kitchen and Restaurants Care.  In Part 2, we're joined by a chef who many credit with putting Peruvian food on the map in Los Angeles and beyond, I'm talking about Ricardo Zarate. Ricardo opened the cevicheria known as The Hummbingbird in Echo Park in 2024, and many hailed it as a sort of comeback. But speaking with Ricardo, it's clear that The Hummingbird is a lot more than that.

After a dark start to the New Year, a little light at the end of the tunnel this week as 18 Los Angeles chefs, bars and restaurants were named James Beard semifinalists. With Angelenos earning spots in the categories of Outstanding Chef, Outstanding Restaurant and Best Chef: California, Father Sal is with us today for one of our trademark, frankly psychotic dissections of what it all means. We attempt to answer questions like, is this a downward or upward trending year for LA? What are Angelenos' chances of turning their semifinalist nods into actual victories? Which restaurants most surprised us by earning a spot, and which snubs left us scratching our head? We also discuss a great article by the LA Times' Jenn Harris on LA chefs' wishlist for 2025, and after the break we're joined by friends of the pod Luke Reyes and Reilly Cox for Part 3 of our Opening Cafe Esca series. As a reminder, this is our series in which we're accompanying Luke and Reilly in their journey to open up an ambitious new coastal Italian restaurant in the Arts District this Spring. In this conversation, Luke and Reilly talk to us about bringing their ambitious design concept to life.  Feat. discussion of restaurants and chefs including Etra, Amiga Amore, Heritage BBQ, Evil Cooks, Barra Santos, Camelia, Baroo, Kato, Holbox, Gilberto Cetina, Chuy Cervantes, Damian, Bridgetown Roti, Poncho's Tlayudas, Kuya Lord, Suzanne Goin, Capri Club, Franceco Allegro, The Arroyo Club, La Morra Pizzeria, Marino, and more.  Helpful Links The 2025 James Beard Semifinalists https://www.jamesbeard.org/blog/the-2025-james-beard-award-semifinalists Jenn Harris' piece on LA chefs' wishlist https://www.latimes.com/food/story/2025-01-21/restaurant-2025-wish-list-los-angeles-chef-restaurateurs Opening Cafe Esca Part 1 https://open.spotify.com/episode/19HDiV4o0i2dP9ZZ7B7E9B Opening Cafe Esca Part 2 https://open.spotify.com/episode/7DoKDMtS74ngrVzjBBkzXI – Go check out The Lonely Oyster in Echo Park! ⁠https://thelonelyoyster.com/⁠ – Get 10% off at House of Macadamias using code "LAFOOD" https://www.houseofmacadamias.com/pages/la-foods

The Palisades and Eaton fires have been raging for more than a week now. Restaurants and food vendors have played a huge role in the relief efforts, stepping up in a big way to feed first responders and evacuees.  Father Sal and I discuss a couple of excellent articles on restaurants in the midst of the wildfires, and we speak with three people who've experienced the fires from different perspectives: First is Matthew Schodorf, the co-owner of Cafe De Leche whose Altadena location was completely destroyed by the Eaton fire. We talk to Matt about how they're navigating the situation and what we can do to help.  Second is Liz Gutierrez of Fiorelli Pizza in Venice, one of the first operations to spring into action to help first responders and evacuees. We talk to Liz about what they're doing and how we the public can support restaurants as they carry out this important work.  Finally, we're joined by Inclusive Action for the City's Rudy Espinoza to hear about their fundraiser for outdoor workers - aka the men and women whose livelihoods depend on selling goods or executing jobs on the street. From a food perspective we're talking about taqueros, fruteros, eloteros, and everyone in between.  Helpful Links: Cafe De Leche www.cafedeleche.net Cafe De Leche's GoFundMe for staff https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-CDL-employees-after-the-eaton-fire Fiorelli Pizza https://www.fiorellipizza.com/ Inclusive Action for the City https://www.inclusiveaction.org/ IAC's relief fund for outdoor workers https://www.gofundme.com/f/cash-aid-for-outdoor-workers-impacted-by-la-county-wildfires LA Community Meals https://www.instagram.com/lacommunitymeals/ Khushbu Shah's article on restaurants leading the relief efforts https://khushbushah.substack.com/p/restaurants-were-the-first-to-step Meghan McCarron on food service workers in the Palisades https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/10/us/los-angeles-fires-service-workers.html Other Relief Efforts: World Central Kitchen https://wck.org/relief/california-fires-jan25 Slice Out Hunger https://sliceouthunger.org/ – Go check out The Lonely Oyster in Echo Park! ⁠https://thelonelyoyster.com/⁠ – Get 10% off at House of Macadamias using code "LAFOOD" https://www.houseofmacadamias.com/pages/la-foods

What does the year of our Lord 2025 have in store for LA restaurants? According to The LA Times, a whole lot more struggle.  Father Sal is with us to break down a couple of fascinating pieces by Stephanie Breijo and Cindy Carcamo on the restaurants we lost in 2024, and what the landscape of challenges looks like for the year ahead. On a lighter note, we recap our holidays, including Father Sal's first American Christmas and my continuing plight to force-feed my family the Feast of the Seven Fishes. And Sal also gives us a run-down of the must-visit spots from his most recent escapade to Mexico City.  In Part 2, it's the moment you've all been waiting for - the 2025 Countdown reveal. In case you're unfamiliar, every year I set out to eat 100 variations of a certain type of LA cuisine. In 2021 I ate 100 pizzas, in 2022 I visited 100 taquerias, 2023 brought me sandwiches and I just finished scouring the city for 100 epic noodle dishes.

I'd like to cordially welcome you to the second annual LA Food Pod Holiday Party!  Father Sal and I are joined by our favorite New York-based podcast ho ho hosts, Nancy DaSilva and Bits Nicholas of Compliments to the Chef, for a jolly ole time discussing what's hot in the Big Apple, what we make of the premature closure of Frog Club, the quixotic restaurant helmed by Liz Johnson of Horses on Sunset fame, and we each bring a holiday cocktail to the table to hopefully inspire you to do some festive drinking of your own, dear listener. We close things off with an historic LA Food Pod Holiday Quiz - will Father Sal be able to secure the crown for Los Angeles, or will the interlopers from New York escape with the dub? Stay tuned to find out.  In Part 2, we're joined by Marc Rose and Med Abrous, the co-owners of Call Mom Hosptialtiy Group. Their restaurant Genghis Cohen is one of the hottest tickets in town on any given Christmas, so much so, that they refer to it as their Super Bowl. Marc and Med join us to talk about how their restaurant handles the holiday, and, as the owners of La Dolce Vita in Beverly Hills, we also discuss how they approach taking over legacy spaces in a way that both honors their history, while ushering them into a new era.  Helpful Links: Compliments to the Chef Pod https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/compliments-to-the-chef/id1727777167 Compliments to the Chef on IG https://www.instagram.com/complimentstothechef_pod/ Pete Wells on Frog Club https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/10/dining/frog-club-nyc-closes.html Vox on Crumbl https://www.vox.com/money/389782/crumbl-cookies-tiktok-viral-consumption Genghis Cohen https://www.genghiscohen.com/ La Dolce Vita https://www.ladolcevitabeverlyhills.com/ Call Mom Hospitality Group https://www.didyoucallmom.com/ McConnell's / Genghis Cohen collab https://www.instagram.com/p/DDupoqDyCd_/?img_index=1 -- Go check out The Lonely Oyster in Echo Park! ⁠https://thelonelyoyster.com/⁠ – Get 10% off at House of Macadamias using code "LAFOOD" https://www.houseofmacadamias.com/pages/la-foods --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thelafoodpodcast/support

What do the Eater layoffs mean for food media in Los Angeles? Did Bill Addison's review of Vespertine get us more or less excited to visit the two Michelin-star juggernaut? And what to make of Melissa Clark's underwhelming experiences at Thomas Keller's Per Se and The French Laundry? Father Sal's with us today to discuss all of the above, plus a controversy at Long Beach's Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles, a bold proclamation of the best fast food item in America, and quote-unquote intrepid food influencer whose rating every steakhouse chain from the comfort of his own Tesla.  In Part 2, we're joined by Reilly Cox and Luke Reyes for the second installment of our Opening Cafe Esca series. If you missed Part 1, this is our series where Luke and Reilly are bringing us along in their journey of opening an ambitious new Italian restaurant in a stunning Arts District development come March of 2025. For today's conversation, I met up with Reilly and Luke at their very much under-construction restaurant space, to hear about how they've been working with their designer on a design concept that presents a modern Italian dining experience able to convey warmth while also standing out amidst the sea of Italian restaurants in Los Angeles. Today's convo will focus on the concept of the design, and our next installment coming up in a few weeks will center around the nitty gritty of bringing that vision to life by way of materials, permitting, budget constraints, and more.

Welcome to episode 100. We hosted a live show to celebrate at Little Joy Cocktails in Echo Park, and what you're about to hear is the recording of said live show. Father Sal and I were joined by Eater's Mona Holmes to run through the headlines of the day and to play a round of Chef's Kiss Big Miss. We debuted the first-ever LA Food Pod quiz - big thanks and sincere apologies to David Turkell of Turk's Pizza Party for participating. And, finally, we had a conversation with Jackson Kalb of Ospi, Jemma, and Top Chef fame, on running a restaurant in today's tricky economic environment, among other things.  But first, Father Sal joins me for some slightly indulgent navel-gazing on what this podcast means to us, and we also quickly touch on some exciting events we attended this week, including a very insightful panel discussion on restaurant PR and marketing hosted by New School, and a comedy show presented by none other than former Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi.  Helpful links: Mona Holmes https://www.instagram.com/monaeats/?hl=en Jackson Kalb https://www.instagram.com/jacksonkalb/?hl=en Ospi https://ospi.com/venice Jemma https://jemmarestaurants.com/ Little Joy https://littlejoy.la/ The LA Food Pod Live Show was produced by: Robert Haleblian https://www.instagram.com/robert_haleblian/?hl=en -- Go check out The Lonely Oyster in Echo Park! https://thelonelyoyster.com/ – Get 10% off at House of Macadamias using code "LAFOOD" https://www.houseofmacadamias.com/pages/la-foods --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thelafoodpodcast/support

What do the best competition cook of all time, an uber-accomplished LA restaurateur and the author of one of the year's best cookbooks have in common? Well, they're all the same person and her name is Brooke Williamson. Brooke just released her first-ever cookbook, dear listener. It's called SUN-KISSED COOKING, and it's available now in stores. Brooke's with us today to tell us what inspired the new book, why now felt like the right time in her storied career to release her first book, and what she liked and didn't like about the arduous process of writing a cookbook.  Of course, I wouldn't be doing my job if we didn't also talk about her career as a prodigy on the Los Angeles restaurant scene, the secrets to her extraterrestrial ability as a competition cook, and how she's seen the role of a restaurant operator evolve since opening her first restaurant back in the early aughts.  Helpful links: Sun-Kissed Cooking https://www.harpercollins.com/products/sun-kissed-cooking-brooke-williamson?variant=41531003830306 Brooke on IG https://www.instagram.com/chefbrookew/?hl=en The LA Food Podcast is produced with the help of: Abdo Hajj -- Go check out The Lonely Oyster in Echo Park! https://thelonelyoyster.com/ – Get 10% off at House of Macadamias using code "LAFOOD" https://www.houseofmacadamias.com/pages/la-foods --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thelafoodpodcast/support

Today on The LA Food Podcast… What game is Norm Langer playing by reposting Rick Caruso's scathing video of Mayor Karen Bass' efforts (or lacktherof) to clean up MacArthur Park? Why is Martha Stewart irate over the way she's being portrayed in her brand new Netflix documentary “Martha?” And why is a trip Dan Tana's pretty much obligatory in your near future, dear listener? We're joined today by SF Gate's Karen Palmer to discuss all of the above. She's filling in for Father Sal and, dare I say, Father Sal watch out. If he keeps abusing his PTO days, Karen just made a case for why there might need to be a change in administration. Too soon? In Part 2 we're joined by Richard Pink of Pink's Hot Dogs. The Hollywood icon that is Pink's is celebrating its 85th birthday and is giving out 85 cent hot dogs to celebrate. I caught up with Richard at Pink's to hear about the promotion, but more importantly, to hear his reflections on the little hot dog stand that could.  As always please consider leaving us a rating or a review wherever you listen to podcasts.

Part 1 of our brand new series, Opening Cafe Esca. We're joined by accomplished hospitality pros Luke Reyes and Reilly Cox, the dream team behind the upcoming Coastal Italian gem slated to open in the Arts District in March of 2025.  Luke and Reilly have agreed to visit us on the pod once a month to take us behind the scenes of all that's gonna go into opening their ambitious LA restaurant. Why are they doing this? Well, typically when restaurants open you just see a blurb in Eater or stroll by it on your morning walk, but there's tons of work that goes into opening a restaurant that often goes untold. Reilly and Luke are going to take us under the hood, sharing the good, the bad, the ugly, and of course the delicious. Think of this like a podcast version of The Bear Season 2, but with more City of Angels and far less family trauma.  But first, Father Sal is with us to talk New York versus LA food, whether Kamala Harris' status as a foodie can actually help her win the election, and of course, to play a round of Chef's Kiss Big MIss with us. He also makes a BIG, MASSIVE announcement that you're not gonna wanna miss. All I've gotta say is, look out LA, there's a new daddy in town.  Helpful links: Luke Reyes https://www.instagram.com/_luke_reyes/?hl=en Reilly Cox https://www.linkedin.com/in/reillyscox/ Rita's Deluxe https://www.ritasdeluxe.com/ Psychic Wines https://www.psychicwinesla.com/ Jenn Harris on NY vs LA food https://www.latimes.com/food/story/2024-10-25/los-angeles-better-food-city-new-york-city-dodgers-yankees Meghan McCarron on Kamala's foodie-ness https://www.bonappetit.com/story/kamala-harris-food-politics?srsltid=AfmBOoqPiaZxqUNliiwHMvaogf_kYPjpWZ3TBRbczCazjhHB7AjQUouM LAist Halloween foods https://laist.com/brief/news/food/seven-local-spots-serving-grim-goodies-this-halloween-season Mona Holmes on Homemade LA https://la.eater.com/2024/10/28/24275082/homemade-la-home-restaurants-mehko-food-service-vendors-los-angeles-county Cheese store robbed https://www.nbc.com/today/video/400000-worth-of-award-winning-cheese-stolen-in-london/NBCN854213543#:~:text=A%20con%20artist%20who%20posed,Neal's%20Yard%20Diary%20in%20London.

Today on The LA Food Podcast presented by Rusty's Chips… how are influencers transforming LA's restaurant scene? What does a legendary San Bernardino restaurant have to do with political polarization? And why did one Little Tokyo mochi manufacturer inspire a long-form feature in the New York Times? Father Sal is with us to discuss all of the above, beginning with a deep dive into Eater LA's four-story package on the dreaded “i” word - influencers. Are they adding something valuable to the overall conversation? Or are they scammers that everybody from restaurants to consumers should be wary of? As always, we have the definitive, unquestionable, and unchallengeable answers, for you dear listener, so get excited, cuz this conversation is Lox Level 9.9. In Part 2, I caught up with the iconic Dominick DiBartolomeo at The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills. While The Cheese Store has been in business since the 60s, the latest iteration on Santa Monica Blvd is making waves that have the LA's culinary nerds abuzz with excitement. Dom and I talk about all things cheese and sandwiches, we learn what his favorite cheeses are right now, and which cheese he would eat if he could only pick one to consume for the rest of his life. He tells us the crazy lengths he goes to to source his incredible product, and how he goes about forging relationships with LA's best chefs. Talking to Dominick felt like talking to a long-lost relative, and that's not just cuz we're both Italian. He's a true gem of a human being, and I can't wait for you to brie this conversation.

Today on The LA Food Podcast presented by Rusty's Chips… Evan Funke's episode of Chef's Table is out on Netflix, Father Sal and I watched it so you don't have to. How did we feel about it? Well, let's just say the episode gave one us an acute case of the ick that no amount of cacio e pepe can reverse. Listen to find out why.  But first, former Eater New York critic Ryan Sutton has some interesting thoughts on the future of restaurant criticism, the LA County government actually did something positive for aspiring restaurateurs, and there's a tension rising between the need for restaurants to become increasingly sustainable while navigating the tough economic conditions. As always there's a lighting round of Chef's Kiss / Big Miss, and Father Sal brought a Let Me Cook to the table that you're not gonna wanna miss.

Is Eater's new list of the Essential 38 Restaurants perfect, or is it the most chaotic list of all time? What do we find groundbreaking about Keith Corbin and Daniel Patterson's upcoming fine dining concept? And where would we eat if we could only eat at 3 restaurants for the rest of our lives?  Father Sal is with us to discuss all of the above, why you should check out a newly released Great British Baking Show companion pod, why you can maybe skip Tom Colicchio's new memoir/cookbook, and why your next tasting menu experience might be a couple courses shorter. Our interview today is with Chef Dominique Crisp, Culinary Director of The Lonely Oyster. Dom's got a fascinating story and he also happens to be part of the Oyster Master Guild. That means Dom is to oysters what sommeliers are to wine. He teaches us to appreciate the wonderful world of merroir, and what distinguishes good oysters from oysters that are, to paraphrase Dom, better than s*x. Dom also tells us how the late, iconic Naomi Pomeroy played a pivotal role in his career, and what he learned from his previous venture Saso, which he opened in Pasadena smack dab in the middle of the pandemic and ultimately decided to walk away from despite its rip-roaring success.  Helpful links: Our free newsletter LA FOODSTACK, where you'll find most of the articles we referenced today https://thelacountdown.substack.com/ The Lonely Oyster https://thelonelyoyster.com/ Chef Dom Crisp https://www.instagram.com/domcrisp/ Keith Corbin's memoir https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/677186/california-soul-by-keith-corbin/ The LA Food Podcast is produced with the help of: Adam Skaggs Tiffany Perez Tim Bertolini Abdo Hajj – Get 10% off at Rusty's Chips using code “LACOUNTDOWN” https://rustyschips.com/discount/LACOUNTDOWN -- Get 10% off at House of Macadamias using code "LAFOOD" https://www.houseofmacadamias.com/pages/la-foods --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thelafoodpodcast/support

We're joined by former Otium employees Rylee Ratcliff and Melissa Mendoza for a raw and honest conversation about the exhausting, frustrating, and maddening weeks they've had since the acclaimed Downtown restaurant closed its doors for good on September 8. Father Sal also joins us to give Chef Tim some PR advice.

Today on the LA Food Podcast, the most recognizable chef on the planet joins us for an interview - and I'm not talking about Chef Boyardee. Wolfgang Puck is with us today, alongside his son Byron Lazaroff Puck for honestly one of my favorite conversations we've ever had on this platform. Wolfgang has been one of the most if not THE most trailblazing chef in America for more than 40 years, and we discuss the many changes he's seen in the Los Angeles food scene since he opened Spago back in 1982. But don't just talk about the past - I was truly impressed to find that the Wolfgang Puck group of restaurants is as innovative and vibrant as ever and much of that is down to the passion and savviness of Byron Lazaroff Puck, Wolfgang's son and heir apparent to the legendary restaurant empire. Wolfgang, Byron and I discuss what it's like to operate as a father/son duo, how Wolfgang navigates the temptation to micromanage and how Byron approaches the pressure that naturally comes with the territory. Most interestingly, I ask them both about their vision for the company's future, and I think their answers might surprise you. But first, Father Sal is with us to quickly recap the New York Times' list of Best Restaurants in America, how the Los Angeles Times blatantly disrespected me by crowning somebody else LA's sandwich king, and to dream brand new name for our beloved segment bad idea/horrible idea. RIP, all good things to come to an end, and all that jazz.  Helpful links: Our free newsletter LA FOODSTACK, where you'll find most of the articles we referenced today https://thelacountdown.substack.com/ Wolfgang Puck https://wolfgangpuck.com/ The LA Food Podcast is produced with the help of: Adam Skaggs Tiffany Perez Tim Bertolini Abdo Hajj The Wolfgang Puck interview was produced by Matt Polizzi https://www.instagram.com/matt_polizzi/ – Get 10% off at Rusty's Chips using code “LACOUNTDOWN” https://rustyschips.com/discount/LACOUNTDOWN -- Get 10% off at House of Macadamias using code "LAFOOD" https://www.houseofmacadamias.com/pages/la-foods --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thelafoodpodcast/support

In this solo episode, Freddie shares personal updates, including his experience managing two viral infections and testing out a fresh detox routine. He also dives into a promising new longevity drug and addresses his ongoing struggle with low HRV scores, which he's been wrestling with for months. Freddie offers two simple but powerful life hacks that have helped him reclaim his nights and improve his well-being.While data can play a crucial role in health optimization, Freddie explores the downside of letting it take over your life, such as orthosomnia—a condition where obsessing over sleep data can actually worsen sleep quality. He also breaks down the impact of regular caffeine consumption, which can lead to adrenal fatigue and other health issues. To counter this, he suggests delaying your first cup of coffee and cutting down on caffeine throughout the day. By doing so, you reduce stress on your adrenal glands and improve your overall energy levels. The episode revisits newer alternatives to caffeine, particularly paraxanthine, a compound that offers a similar boost without the negative side effects.If you're looking to improve your sleep hygiene and recovery routines, this episode provides quick and easy tips you can incorporate into your life today!HIGHLIGHTS[0:40] Freddie's Life Update[2:35] Don't Let the Data Control You![5:40] The Effects of Caffeine on Sleep Quality[7:30] On Adrenal Fatigue[10:20] Exploring Alternatives to CaffeineUPGRADE YOUR WELLNESSUPDATE Drink https://drinkupdate.com/Code: beautifullybrokenSilver Biotics Wound Healing Gel: https://bit.ly/3JnxyDDCode: BEAUTIFULLYBROKENHouse of Macadamias: https://www.houseofmacadamias.com/Code: beautifullybrokenLightPathLED https://lightpathled.com/?afmc=BEAUTIFULLYBROKENCode: beautifullybrokenFlowpresso 3-in-1 technology:https://calendly.com/freddiekimmel/flowpresso-one-on-one-discovery CONNECT WITH FREDDIE Check out my website and store: (http://www.beautifullybroken.world) Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/beautifullybroken.world/) YouTube: (https://www.youtube.com/@BeautifullyBrokenWorld)

In this episode, we're thrilled to welcome Dr. Grace Liu, also known as the Gut Goddess, as she delves into the critical role of gut health and the restoration of our natural microbes and keystone flora. She reveals a startling discovery: one-third of native gut flora has already vanished in Western populations. This depletion of the microbiome contributes to various health issues, including chronic fatigue, autoimmune disorders, and impaired toxin elimination—all of which can only be truly addressed by healing the gut.We also explore different gut testing methods, essential tools for identifying which microbes are missing and how to restore them. By understanding and correcting these imbalances, we lay the foundation for a healthier microbiome, enabling better digestion and tolerance of foods like gluten and dairy.Tune in as the Gut Goddess shares valuable insights on what we can learn from centenarians about longevity, with a focus on the power of diet and nutrition. The conversation also highlights the often-overlooked impact of environmental factors like black mold and aluminum exposure. Overall, this podcast offers a comprehensive guide for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of gut health.

And why does it matter that yet another LA chef has earned a place on Food & Wine's vaunted list of Best New Chefs? Father Sal's with us to discuss all of the above plus, why Taste waited until now to post one of the best think pieces on The Bear, why Netflix is giving David Chang's Dinner Time Live a season 2, and whether pickles belong on pizza.  In Part 2, we're joined by Chef Brandon Boudet of Little Dom's in Los Feliz for a sneak peek of two exciting concepts he's opening in Montecito and Ojai this Fall.

n this episode, we sit down with Dr. Travis Johnson, a chiropractor specializing in Advanced Biostructural Correction™ (ABC) and Functional Cranial Release (FCR), to explore his innovative, fascia-based approach to chiropractic care. Dr. Johnson explains how his techniques go beyond addressing spinal misalignments to focus on restoring the structural integrity of the entire body. Through Functional Cranial Release, he reveals how realigning the cranial structures can clear blockages, improve blood flow, and resolve respiratory issues. This non-invasive therapy, which can often be an emotional experience, helps alleviate years of tension and trauma built up in the body due to misalignment and discomfort.Our conversation goes deeper into broader health concerns, discussing why many people today suffer from similar chronic ailments. Dr. Johnson highlights how our physical environment impacts personal health, emphasizing the importance of addressing the root causes of dysfunction rather than just treating symptoms. In a society that seems designed to keep us in a cycle of illness, innovative techniques like ABC and FCR offer powerful solutions. We also touch on practical advice, including Dr. Travis' expertise in biostacking, functional movement, and lymphatic drainage, providing listeners with actionable tools for improving their health and well-being through holistic chiropractic care.HIGHLIGHTS[3:00] Regulating Your Nervous System[7:00] Freddie's Experience With Postural Exercises[9:00] What Makes Dr. Travis a Unique Chiropractor[13:35] Advice on Exercises to Do Between Chiro Sessions[22:25] Why Are We All Suffering From the Same Ailments?[26:30] How Your Environment Might Be Harming You[30:40] The Remarkable Impact of Flowspresso and Lymphatic Drainage[34:15] The Power of the Functional Cranial Release Technique[41:30] Understanding Our Anatomy[46:10] How to Find Functional Cranial Release Chiropractors[49:15] A Glimpse Into the Patient Experience[59:45] What It Means to Be Beautifully Broken[1:01:35] Tuning Into the Things We Truly LoveGUEST LINKSDr. Travis Johnson of Hudson Spine and HealthWebsite: https://hudsonspineandhealth.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hudsonspinehealth Episodes Mentioned:Episode 206: Unlocking the Power of Zeolite: Detoxification Secrets with Jeff Hoyt: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unlocking-the-power-of-zeolite-detoxification/id1451243028?i=1000664365180Episode 179: The Healing Power Of Stem Cells With Christian Drapeau: https://podcasts.apple.com/es/podcast/the-healing-power-of-stem-cells-with-christian-drapeau/id1451243028?i=1000637431469UPGRADE YOUR WELLNESSZeocharge from Zeolite Labs: https://www.zeolitelabs.com/?ref=voxdgitkCode: beautifullybrokenSTEMREGEN: https://www.stemregen.co/products/stemregen/?afmc=beautifullybrokenCode: beautifullybrokenSilver Biotics Wound Healing Gel: https://bit.ly/3JnxyDDCode: BEAUTIFULLYBROKENHouse of Macadamias: https://www.houseofmacadamias.com/Code: beautifullybrokenLightPathLED https://lightpathled.com/?afmc=BEAUTIFULLYBROKENCode: beautifullybroken CONNECT WITH FREDDIE Check out my website and store: (http://www.beautifullybroken.world) Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/beautifullybroken.world/) YouTube: (https://www.youtube.com/@BeautifullyBrokenWorld)

We're joined on today's pod by the icon known as Joe Sasto. Joe is a Michelin-pedigree chef whose exploits at San Francisco's Quince and Lazy Bear earned him the chance to go on Top Chef. His high-octane performance on his season earned him a third-place finish, the opportunity to compete on Top Chef All-Stars, and more importantly, a place in the pantheon of Top Chef greats. Today Chef Joe brings us with him on his journey, from falling in love with what he calls tweezer food, to becoming a master of pasta, and eventually putting his mastery to work in the form of one of the most exciting snacks on the market - Tantos Pasta Chips. There's so much in this conversation. We talk what it takes to earn Michelin stars, why he decided to enter the CPG space, who he most fears competing against on Guy Fieri's Tournament of Champions, and one of my favorite anecdotes, how he became one of the only people on earth who's ever served the Voltaggio brothers literal testicles. Plus, Father Sal is with us. We wonder, did the Infatuation just release the Da Vinci code of burgers? Does Evan Funke deserve to be on Chef's Table? And why are fast food jobs in California on the rise despite the rising minimum wage? Among other exciting topics...

In this episode, Joel Evan joins us for a conversation on the intersection of biohacking, relationship health, and personal transformation. With his extensive background in functional medicine and holistic health coaching, Joel is dedicated to helping others overcome their health challenges and optimize their performance.Joel opens up about the mental health struggles often overlooked in law enforcement, particularly the importance of nervous system regulation in high-stress environments like police work. He emphasizes that without first addressing the state of your nervous system, you can't effectively engage in a detox protocol or any healing process. Everything is connected to the brain, making nervous system regulation a critical component of overall well-being.Our guest today also leads the Limitless Fathers group, which aims to help husbands and fathers build deeper connections with their kids and cultivate stronger marriages.

And does JD Vance even know what a donut is?  Father Sal is physically with us in Los Angeles today to discuss all this and more. We recap all of the amazing food he's had in LA this week, from a beachside South American feast to an all-time steak dinner in Beverly Hills. I have him try the viral Ggiata Chicken Caesar Wrap live on the air, and we give a special shout out to our two biggest fans in LA.  In Part 2 we're joined by Chef Avner Levi, the man behind Cento Pasta Bar in West Adams.

Today on the LA Food Podcast, is work/life balance possible in fine dining? What the heck is postmodern craft beer? And why should Angelenos care about the passing of Famous Amos founder Wally Amos?  James Beard-nominated reporter Gab Chabran is with us today to explore all of these topics, and to tell us why he believes the city's best tacos are in Whittier, and where you should consider heading next time you're craving sushi or in need of Japanese pantry goods.  Our interview today is with Chef Daniel Shemtob, the founder of The Lime Truck and HATCH Yakitori in Downtown LA. Daniel's most recent venture is called Snibbs. Snibbs is bringing cutting-edge, and rather good-looking work shoes, I might add to professional kitchens. Daniel saw a big hole in the market for stylish, functional footwear after slipping in the kitchen and missing the opening of his own restaurant. Daniel exudes entrepreneurialism, and this is a deeply inspiring conversation for anyone who's ever thought of starting a business, or who's even remotely interested in foot health and/or fashion. And did I mention that Daniel won two seasons of The Food Network's Great Food Truck Race?  Helpful links: LA FOODSTACK, our free newsletter containing links to all of the stories we discuss on today's podcast https://thelacountdown.substack.com/ LAist Food Friday coverage https://laist.com/news/food Gab Chabran on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/gabchabran/?hl=en Daniel Shemtob on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/daniel.shemtob/?hl=en Snibbs https://snibbs.co/ The Lime Truck https://www.thelimetruck.com/ HATCH Yakitori https://www.hatchyalater.com/ The LA Food Podcast is produced with the help of: Adam Skaggs Tiffany Perez Tim Bertolini -- Get 10% off at House of Macadamias using code "LAFOOD" https://www.houseofmacadamias.com/pages/la-foods -- Get 10% off on your first purchase of wagyu beef at First Light Farms using code "LAFOOD10" https://www.firstlight.farm/us/ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thelafoodpodcast/support

Through this exploration, we uncover how reframing apologies can lead to deeper connections, resilience, and a greater appreciation for the miracle of every moment.

When we use this practice to assess the metabolic diseases we see today, we can see we're in an energy crisis. We're wrapped up in a web of physiologic root causes, but also a web of policies, industries, and economic incentives impacting our health from the ground up. I loved discussing all this and more on this episode of the podcast with Dr. Casey Means.  We take a deep dive into: Why we need to reimagine the healthcare system and how to use Functional Medicine as a framework for asking “why?” Using metabolic health as a barometer for our challenges as a society  A stark reality: Every institution related to our health makes money off of sickness Combining advanced technology with our own awareness to take back control of our health Five affordable biomarkers of metabolic syndrome to start with  And so much more! I hope you'll tune in to learn how to dramatically improve your metabolic health and support foundational societal shifts, all at once.
