On this episode, we're joined by chef Dave Arnold. He's the host of the Cooking Issues podcast, author of the cocktail book Liquid Intelligence, and creator of the Searzall and Spinzall. Dave is also the founder of the Museum of Food and Drink, and the man behind the NYC bars Booker & Dax and Existing Conditions, sadly , both of which are no longer in operation. As I kind of expected going into this show, I let Dave lead the way. I leaned into all those weird and intriguing food science topics. Our discussion went long, so I broke it up into two episodes, and this is part 2. You can find part 1 here. We discuss storing fresh tomatoes, using canned tomatoes, and pizza sauce. We talk about his upcoming book, working with Gellan, hot poker cocktails, and fermenting with koji. We also talk about potato doughnuts and Moravian Sugar Cake (and so much more).SponsorsIf you're interested in grits, corn meal, and corn flour that are both delicious and nutritious, check out Professor Torbert's Orange Corn. All of their products are non-GMO, gluten free and vegan. Their orange corn is helping fight micronutrient deficiencies in more than 10 African countries.

We discuss MSG, hacking your home kitchen equipment, pressure cookers, and grain mills. We talk about whole wheat flour and its shelf life and degradation. And find out which popular candy just might be benefiting from a hint of rancidity.

I’m getting closer to the dream.” [19:45] “There are really only two tomatoes that I go to great lengths to get; Aunt Rubys’s German Greens and German Stripes” [12:00] “All ISI whippers are fine for hot liquids. The only difference is that the ones marketed for hot liquids are insulated which can actually be a detriment under certain circumstances.” [42:00] “For those of you who have not hung out with Sommeliers, don’t start. Sommeliers are hardcore.” [44:00] –Dave Arnold on Cooking Issues
