With Excitement allow me to introduce to you today's guest, chef Jeannie Pierola. Jeannie Pierola grew up working in her family's beachside resort just outside of Tampa. When Jeannie got older she was able to convince her parents to open a restaurant. Like most first-time restaurant owners, Jeanie realized she had much to learn and decided she better go work for someone who knew what they were doing. This realization brought her to one of the most well-known steak houses in the country, Bern's Steak House. At Bern's Jeannie started at the bottom and would eventually earn the title of Executive Chef. With this experience, Jeannie traveled consulting for steak houses around the world before deciding to return to Tampa, FL. Today Chef Jeanie is the Chef/Proprietor of Edison, Edison's Swigamajig, and Counter Culture. All three restaurants are located in Tampa, FL.

On this week's podcast here at Fat Drunk And Happy your hosts Cody Sorts, Amin Benny and Dave Mau jump in for a group food podcast effort to tackle some important restaurant industry topics both here in th Orange County food scene and beyond. Dave Mau starts off with touching on the joys of the private Chef world when he relates the story of making a Thanksgiving dinner for some out of towners from Brazil. Te demise of the OC Weekly is on the slab as well, which was quite a loss for OC Foodies. Cody and Amin talk about the Fullerton Cares event they both randomly ended up working and how the Chef narrative feeds into community and culture. Rogue River just won best cheese in the prestigious World Cheese awards, a first for a cheese manufacturer in the United States. Finding balance in the business is also up for grabs in this food podcast episode with Cody talking about finding life balance and preserving mental and physical health, especially in what we refer to as post-Bourdain era. Amin talks about the world's most expensive bottle of whiskey and the time it takes to produce, package and curate a world class spirit. The Michelin Start system is also part of this episode and Dave cops to the fact he never connected the dots on the name. In the discussion is the passing of Gary Regan, a bar world legend who paved the path to what we not think of modern mixology. A crushing blow to the world of spirits and bartending. Jim Mehan in New York id the last topic covered and all three of your hosts circle back to the idea of balance in the industry, an elusive creature indeed.

On this week's episode of No Vacancy Colorado's #StonedAppetit the gang sit down with founder of Comida Restaurant in Stanley Marketplace, Rayme Rosillo. They get to know how she came up with the idea, from the early food truck battle with Boulder to being a staple in food hall's in Colorado. Rayme blows Kip's mind with her sleep habits, and we break our personal record for how early we bring up strip clubs. Quite a riveting transition if we do say so ourselves... We ask her favorite spots to hit in Boulder and what she likes to do when she gets spare time (hint: it has two wheels and she's may or may not be in a gang)... Tune in for great laughs, new spots to hit up, and a fun backstory of a kind, humble, hard-working, badass woman in the Colorado scene.

Så længe det kan spises

Kris & Chris kommer på noget af en emotionel rutsjebanetur, da de besøger den nyåbnede B/rW på Nørrebro. Det starter så godt med god service og sprøde snacks, men da de to sultne værter får serveret en poke bowl med uspiselig krabbekød, slutter den gode stemning brat. For første gang i podcastens historie må de konstatere, at det ikke kan spises.
