Welcome back to Pizza Quest!The cottage bakery movement is a global phenomenon and we have here, in my hometown of Charlotte, NC, a shining example of a rising star of this movement. Doug and Kaitlin Rose, along with their "team" of four kids (ages 9-16), are cranking out amazing 100% sourdough breads and bagels (and other inventive sourdough products made with heirloom and ancient grain flours), from a small bakeshop constructed inside their carport. Every loaf is pre-sold via subscription before it ever hits the shelves and, after a relentless six year commitment to learning the craft and growing the business, the Roses are ready to make the huge leap to a brick and mortar bakery located about a mile from their home (and, I might hope, to reclaiming full use of their home for, well, home stuff). This is an inspirational story about single-mindedness and grit, and a great case study for how to grow a business for anyone who has ever had an entrepreneurial vision of their own. One obvious takeaway: stay patient and be resilient. Hear all about it in this delightful and insightful conversation with my favorite local bakers, Doug and Kaitlin Rose, founders of Team Rose Bread.

Welcome back to Pizza Quest!This episode is a case study on how to create and bring a new product to market. The product is called Pizza Freak, and the team members behind it are Brad Daniels, Brad Kilgore, and Matt McKenney or, as I like to call them, two chefs and a marketing guru. What you will learn in this episode is how a Detroit-inspired frozen square pizza went through the journey from idea, to product, to getting it on the shelves. I've tasted it and it is pretty special -- a frozen pizza with chef-inspired aspirations that really delivers on its promise. It's a product that required innovation at every level of the process and, hey, they have pulled it off, so far— but the story is still unfolding!The two chefs, Brad Kilgore and Brad Daniels (Brad and Brad) are the real deal, with resume's and restaurant successes that firmly establish their bona fides (you'll hear all about their various restaurant projects during the conversation), and Matt McKenney is the marketing and branding partner who represents a number of advanced-level cooking tools and products. What started out as a "what if" passion project turned into Pizza Freak, as they all realized, "We've got something special here." For anyone who has ever dreamed of taking their signature food products (you know, the ones that all your friends and family members tell you should be turned into a business or a restaurant, not realizing the challenges of such a task) this episode is for you, as the Pizza Freak team shares the many lessons learned during their five year quest, which is patiently finding its way onto a shelf (or click) near you. When Pizza Freak finally tips over and goes big, remember that you heard about it here first.

Welcome back to Pizza Quest! Somehow, New York City never has too many great pizzerias, and they all seem to push their competitors to keep raising the bar. In the midst of one of the most competitive marketplaces on earth, a new player better have some game if he or she wants to thrive, especially in the intense pizza playground known as the West Village. So, what did the successful Italian restaurateur Enrico Proietta (of Bella Blu fame) do? He turns loose one of his former proteges, Agostino Cangiano, as well as his own dynamic daughter, Tatiana Revox. to open Slicehaus, featuring Agostino's original Neapolitan/NY hybrid pizza using a little known imported flour that you will hear about in this interview. Tatiana takes care of the fun and games and customers, and Agostino handles the food side (including his personal meatball recipe -- hey, are we in a meatball renaissance? I think yes), and I'm guessing Enrico is kicking back and enjoying the show. Hear all about NYC's new kid on the block and how they have staked their claim against all the OG pizzerias that surround them, in this delightful conversation with Agostino Cangiano and Tatiana Revox, proprietors of Slicehaus.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ten years ago, Sarah Owens decided to parlay her success as a successful cottage baker and curator of roses at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, and write a book, "Sourdough: Recipes for Rustic Fermented Breads, Sweets, Savories, and More." The book went on to win a coveted James Beard Award and Sarah was off and running into the next stage of her career: teaching classes around the world, writing more books, such as "Toast & Jam," and even helping open a bakery in Lebanon for Syrian refugees. Those ten years flew by and now she has just released an updated tenth anniversary edition of the book that helped make her famous. She tells us all about those book updates, including a new resource section listing of small, artisan mills around the country where bakers can source locally produced flour, and also shares many of the adventures that her journey in natural fermentation and jam making has opened up for her.

Mark Todd, aka "The Cheese Dude" returns to take us on the ultimate cheese tasting to die for -- or, more accurately, a "Before You Die" tour. Mark has previously guided us through the pasta filata category (aka, mozzarella-like "pulled" cheeses), the cheddar category, the world of hard aged cheeses, and Alpine and smelly cheeses -- he has been my cheese Yoda for the past few years here on Pizza Quest and this time we go all the way to the summit. I asked him to guide me through four or five cheeses that he considers his Mt. Rushmore and, sure enough, this episode has, for me, fulfilled the "loyalty test" (that is, I tasted them when we recorded this episode but I am still enjoying the taste memories weeks later). Join us as we climb to the top of the Mt. Rushmore of cheeses you will want to run out and track down so that you can taste along with us.For the record, here are the five cheeses we tasted and enjoyed with what I call our Meg Ryan cheese moments together. You'll know what I mean when you tune in: Emmi Gruyere Kaltbach; Akaas 36 month Aged Gouda; HRVMNS Epoisses; Mitica Sottocenere; and Delin Brillat Savarin Your local cheese monger will know what these are, or may have ones as close as possible to them.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome back to Pizza Quest.You may remember Blaine Parker from an earlier episode, awhile back, in which we discussed his book and website, Free the Pizza, which is a humorous, step by step manual for how to make restaurant quality pizzas in a home oven. Well, Blaine is back, along with his talented wife and writing/producing partner, Honey Parker, to tell us all about a new documentary film they are making. The full is titled, "Little Miss Margherita: A Misundertood Pizza in a Misunderstood Place." The place they are referring to is the state of Mississippi, along the Gulfport Coast. There's a lot more to the story, and it's much more fun to hear Blaine and Honey tell us about it in their own words. Also, Honey talks a bit about her series of rom-com novels, "The V-Life," about Sugar Bernstein, a New York ad-woman who also happens to be a vampire (yes, you heard it right). We even discuss who Honey hopes will be cast to play Sugar when the books become a movie. Tune in to find out who is on the wish list....See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Welcome back to Pizza Quest,Rye bread, the way we remember it -- at least those of who grew up near Jewish bakeries and delis -- has never really gone away but it does, at times, seem like an endangered species. Steven Katz, a Washington DC attorney and policy consultant, who also happens to be a published food writer and recipe developer, along with his longtime friend, library archivist and guardian of cultural taste memories Donna Webber, worked together over the past few years to develop a Jewish rye bread that checks off all the boxes connecting past with present. Steven, as the baker, calls his loaf, "Katz Rye Has Soul." His food roots go deep in the American culinary industry, having been raised in Chicago's meat packing world in a family business selling some of the finest steaks and other meat products known to mankind, and his collaboration with Donna resulted in a synergy that tapped into both of their passions for quality and authenticity. If you too are part of the rye renaissance, you will not want to miss this stimulating conversation. As we often say, it's more about the quest than it is about the pizza, and Steve and Donna's journey is a perfect example.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Welcome back to Pizza Quest!Charlotte, NC is starting to generate more and more national buzz as a culinary destination city. Top Chef is in pre-production here in preparation for its next season, with Charlotte as the host city, and some of the local chefs and restaurants are getting recognition by The James Beard and other prestigious organizations. And, on the pizza front, a couple new pizzerias are getting a lot of national recognition and, in the case of our guests on this episode, international acclaim. Bird Pizzeria a tough reservation to get these days, with a 60 day wait list and a location that is slightly off the beaten path, but the pizzas are uniquely their own -- a combination of East Coast as well as Chicago and Cleveland influence. In addition, due to the magic of TikTok and Instagram, the Kale Caesar Salad has gone viral and now people from as far away as New Zealand are filming themselves doing knock-off versions. Who knew?As a Caesar Salad junkie myself (I sometimes flirt with the idea of doing a companion website called Caesar Salad Quest), I had to get over there to find out what all the hoopla was about. My wife, Susan, and met up with Blaine and Honey Parker (who you will meet in a future episode here if you aren't already a subscriber to Blaine's newsletter, Free the Pizza), who had driven 600 miles just to experience Bird Pizzeria as part of their own pizza quest (like I said, the buzz has extended beyond the city walls), and we all shared the (yes) amazing Kale Caesar as well as two signature pizzas, The Plain (their take on a Margherita) and also the White, with half pepperoni and half sausage and a few other embellishments. You'll hear more about the salad and the pizzas during this podcast.In this episode, Nkem and Kerrel share their journey with us, and tell us how they ended up landing in Charlotte and developing their menu. Their story, like many others we've showcased here, is unconventional, loaded with unexpected moments of struggle and grace that somehow have serendipitous, happy endings. Sometimes you throw out the playbook and just follow your gut. Those are the places that often end up becoming legends in the making.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Welcome back to Pizza Quest!Every now and then we are fortunate to welcome back the legendary John Arena, who I refer to as the Yoda of Pizza. Often, Brian Spangler of Portland's Apizza Scholl's, also joins us and we refer to the two of them as The Pizza Yodi's. It's one of our most popular series and always a lot of fun for me. Well, Brian couldn't make it this time but we are fortunate to have a new member of the Pizza Yodi pantheon, Leo Spizzirri, the Director of Education at Pizza University, and a certified master teacher extraordinaire (aka Maestro) who is recognized throughout the world. In this episode, John tells us about his upcoming trip to Naples for a ceremony in recognition of the top 50 global pizzerias (including 10 from the USA), and shares his own thoughts on some who did and didn't make the list, as well as those who he values as the national treasures of the American pizza universe. Leo adds his own views on the mentors in his life and pays tribute to John's legacy of mentoring the next generation of pizza luminaries.

The hiatus is over. Ruth Reichl, Nancy Silverton and Laurie Ochoa are firing up Three Ingredients again. This season, we're going live and mostly unedited. You'll notice some rough edges in this first return episode as our cameras go live before Nancy has a chance to take her seat, Ruth gets a phone call that turns off her camera and Laurie's phone overheats three times during the session. But with no advance notice, some 350 of you joined our live test session so we're posting this for everyone to listen in. Thanks to our subscribers, who asked for more Three Ingredients and were patient during our break. We're planning more live sessions, this time with more advance notice and a different phone for Laurie. Watch your Substack messages for a heads-up about our next Three Ingredients live episode.

Ube, the photogenic purple sweet potato from the Philippines, has been trending gradually in the United States. It got a boost recently when it made it onto the menu of the three Starbucks Reserve Roastery locations in Chicago, New York, and Seattle where it's added to a coconut cold foam and spooned over an Espresso Martini.Pat Cobe, senior menu editor of Restaurant Business, and Bret Thorn, senior food & beverage editor of Nation's Restaurant News and Restaurant Hospitality, discussed the ube phenomenon, which also came up in Pat's conversation with the operators of Tous Les Jours, a Korean-based pastry concept that's growing quickly in the United States. Pat said they see ube and another trending Asian ingredient, matcha, as points of distinction for the brand.Speaking of trends and Korean food, Bret went to a preview of a collab between fast-casual salad chain Sweetgreen and fine-dining Korean steakhouse Cote. Sweetgreen has collaborated with fine-dining chefs in the past, including Dan Barber of Blue Hill and Nancy Silverton of Mozza, and this new one features Korean sauces and marinades that are used in three limited-time offers: Two salads and a more substantial plate.The LTOs expand on Sweetgreen's introduction of steak last year—another trend in fast-casual restaurants. While chicken, always popular, is gaining even further traction at limited-service restaurants, Pat and Bret discussed how steak really shines as LTOs, including these new ones at Sweetgreen and the Steak Stroganoff at Noodles & Company, which was discussed during that chain's recent earnings call as a reason for the fast casual's relative success during the first quarter. Bret also sampled the returning Campfire menu at Cracker Barrel. It's become a harbinger of summer for the chain, which this year added a shrimp skillet with andouille sausage to the lineup. Bret also shared an interview with Indian chef Rasika Venkatesa, the former chef de cuisine of Mourad in San Francisco, who is now in New York City operating a series of pop-ups called Mythili, named for her grandmother. Venkatesa discussed her approach to cooking Indian food, and shared how she collected recipes from villagers from throughout the state of Tamil Nadu.

Please welcome to our show, the director of the Istituto Italiano di Cultura di LosAngeles, AKA the Italian Cultural Institute, Emanuele Amendola, and he joins us to discuss the mission of the @iiclosangeles in bringing cultural, scientific, academic, and culinary experiences that highlight everything authentic direct from Italy. The programs are all free, engaging, and open to everyone. Emanuele works closely with our Consul General of Italy in LA, Raffaella Valentini, and together they have forged a partnership that brings us the best of everything from Italia, including products direct from Italy. Each exhibit, talk, and experience is unique. Recently, there was a showing and discussion about the film, Womeness, followed a few days later with the opening and lecture about the Volterra exhibit. There was a Q&A and demonstration with famed chef Nancy Silverton, and the list goes on. So we wanted to know, how does Emanuele select what to present to the public, because the Cultural Institite goes beyond the walls of their physical location in Westwood. Their work extends down to San Diego in addition to nine states, so in effect, they take their work on the road! Also, in addition to top exhibitions, musical performances and more, the @IICLosAngeles offers language courses and incentives for exchange programs. Before coming on board here in Los Angeles, Emanuele was appointed Director of the Italian Cultural Institute in Washington DC, where his duties included fostering partnerships between Italian and American cultural institutions. He started his tenure at the Italian Cultural Institute in Los Angeles in January 2022. Please give a warm welcome to Emanuele, and join our interview on all video and audio podcast platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE, #LittleItalyPodcast, and the #LittleItalyOfLAPodcast. I'm your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and it's my pleasure to welcome you here.

Michael McCarty is the owner of two restaurants, Michael's in Santa Monica, which opened in 1979, and Michael's on West 55th Street in Midtown Manhattan, which followed a decade later. McCarty is truly the father of California cuisine, at the center of a culinary movement that produced top Los Angeles chefs like Jonathan Waxman, Mark Peel, Nancy Silverton, and many others. I had so much fun having Michael back into the studio, and he was happy to go over his deep history in the American restaurant scene. He also talked about his early days cooking in Paris, and how he ended up in Santa Monica and helped establish the legendary farmers' market there. It's Michael, the early years, in this amazing episode.Also on the show we catch up with Eater Chicago editor Ashok Selvam. He recently wrote about the revival of Charlie Trotter's in Chicago, and how Dylan Trotter is taking a big role in the rebirth.Do you enjoy This Is TASTE?

Darby Aldaco got into some big trouble as a kid, stealing pizzas from stopped delivery cars. At 18, he was arrested for stealing a Domino's pizza, subsequently losing his prom date. He wound his way through the L.A. bread scene, worked for Nancy Silverton at Triple Beam, then began commuting to Portland for a pizza project. The result is Pizza Thief (and the Bandit Bar next door). They make 18 inch pies and focus on sour dough and whole grains with high hydration. Like so many of their peers in Portland, they get all of their ingredients from local farms, markets and mills in the Northwest.
