Dana Cowin speaks with Bonnie Morales, the chef/owner of Kachka in Portland. From the art of toasting to the intersection between politics and restaurants, Bonnie reveals the many ways that being a child of Belarusian immigrants inspires her work—including the incredible family story that inspired her restaurant’s name. The first-generation American daughter of Belarusian immigrants, Chef Bonnie Morales (née Frumkin) grew up in Chicago in a large family that brought with them the distinctive culture of food and drink of the former Soviet Union. She trained at the Culinary Institute of America, then honed her skills in several of New York and Chicago’s Michelin-starred restaurants including Tru, where she met her future husband and business partner, Israel Morales. In 2014, the Morales’ opened Kachka in Portland, Oregon – their dream restaurant devoted to the food that Bonnie grew up with, inspired by Russia and former Soviet republics such as Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, and Uzbekistan. The creative, geometric plating of these dishes at Kachka is evidence of Morales’ design background. Thanks to our engineer, Aaron Parecki of Stream PDX. Speaking Broadly is powered by Simplecast.

Diego Galicia and Rico Torres are successfully drawing the line in the sand between Mexican gastronomy and Tex-Mex cuisine. Every 45 days they change up the menu at the award-winning San Antonio restaurant Mixtli in an effort to educate and entertain diners. Andrew Friedman interviews the duo. Diego Galicia was born in Toluca, Mexico in 1984. He studied psychology at The University of Texas at San Antonio a few years before graduating from The Culinary Institute of America. While a student at the CIA, he was employed at Restaurant Lüke, owned by Chef John Besh, and a local french bakery where he did Sunday brunch. Weekday mornings, he would do service at Patty Lou's at the Olmos Pharmacy. Diego has had the opportunity of working back in his native Mexico at Azul Condesa, owned by renowned Chef Ricardo Munoz, and stints at Michelin starred restaurants Atelier Crenn in San Francisco and Moto in Chicago. Mixtli is a very personal and intimate project that reflects Diego's love and passion for his native country. Rico Torres was born in El Paso, Texas. Early on, he was immersed in the heritage of Zacatecas and greater Mexico, both in travel and through daily life. In 2013, Torres opened Mixtli with Chef Diego Galicia and has continued to dedicate himself to his craft.

Emma Bengtsson and Kristen Murray may have worked at NYC’s Aquavit a decade apart and currently live on separate coasts, but HRN host Dana Cowin finds the common threads in their extraordinary careers. Tune in to hear about their influential grandmothers and pastry chef beginnings. You’ll come away with a sense of what it takes to make dreams come true in the culinary world. Chef Emma Bengtsson was named Executive Chef of Aquavit in 2014, after four years as Executive Pastry Chef at the restaurant. As Aquavit’s Executive Chef she has garnered (and retained) three stars from The New York Times and two stars from Michelin, the second female chef in the U.S. accorded that honor. Prior to moving to New York, Emma worked at some of Sweden’s most renowned restaurants, including the two-Michelin starred Edsbacka Krog, Restaurant Prinsen, and Operakällaren. Emma attended Stockholm’s Hotel and Restaurant School after years of cooking at home with her mother and grandmother in Falkenberg, on the west coast of Sweden. As a little girl, Kristen Murray grew up surrounded by her great aunt’s vegetable garden: sweet peas, peppers, lettuces, herbs, raspberry bushes, and persimmon, fig and kumquat trees. Kristen’s professional pastry and culinary career has been shaped by adventures in San Francisco, New York City, Boston and France. Prior to moving to Portland, Kristen assisted Les Nouvelles Mères Cuisinières at Le Picnic in Courchevel, France, where she had the opportunity to work with pastry goddess Christine Ferber, who left an impressionable mark to say the least, and Kristin fell in love with the culture and people. Portland has become Kristen’s second home to New England and her travels in France. Her dream restaurant and pastry shop is a deeply personal project for Murray from design, detail, to food. It is to encompass her Norwegian heritage with her love of French culture and cuisine and of course, all things pastry, thus, MÅURICE: A Pastry Luncheonette is born.

Katy Millard is the chef and co-owner of Coquine, a sophisticated, all-day restaurant in Portland that’s getting rave reviews.

Katy Millard started her cooking career at Guy Savoy’s bistro in France, grew her skill set under the tutelage of Michelin-star chef Michele Troisgros, and perfected her technique at some of the best fine dining kitchens in Europe. A 2017 and 2018 James Beard Award Best Chef Northwest finalist, Millard’s foundation in French technique brings focus and intention to her cooking; striving for consistency, perfection and purpose in every dish.

Andrew Friedman invites Sam Smith, one of the chef/owners at Tusk, to sound off about Portland’s culinary renaissance. Along the way, he also talks about why he won’t hire any mercenaries in the kitchen and believes that all young chefs must prove themselves to farmers. Also, Andrew wants to know if the fast casual concept really is the holy grail for restaurant owners. According to Portland Monthly, Sam Smith met his business partner Joshua Mcfadden in a sports bar kitchen circa 2011: two talented unknown chefs, building hoagies while plotting their entrance into Portland’s promised land. McFadden had secret cool cred. At New York’s Franny’s—thank him or curse him—he made kale salad a national sensation. Smith, meanwhile, had mastered drop-dead hummus and modern Israeli flavors at Philly’s famed Zahav. Their visions synced a year later at Ava Gene’s, with McFadden as chef, Smith as aide-de-camp, their menus based less on specific Italian recipes than on ideas about how food should be composed—on the palate, not the plate—and a serious commitment to Portland farmers. They could vault even celery to excitement, alongside dates, chiles, and Sardinian cheese. In 2017, Tusk, the duo’s ode to Oregon crops, Fleetwood Mac, and Moroccan spices, challenged seasonal cooking’s status quo with a dynamic, veg-centric approach.

We turn the tables and ask our previous HRN ON Tour guest, Michelle Battista, to become the host! She introduces us to Jill Kuehler, the founder of Freeland Spirits, Portland’s new craft distillery—and another co-founder of a women-owned and operated business. Jill makes a persuasive case for why women make better booze. She also talks regenerative agriculture and her off-the-charts horseradish gin. Jill is the founder of Freeland Spirits, Portland’s new craft distillery. It’s owned and operated by women, from the gals who grow the grain and botanicals, to those who run the still. They’re creating superior spirits that celebrate all the Northwest has to offer. Freeland Spirits Gin is crafted by hand in small batches. A traditional copper pot still brings juniper and 13 other botanicals to life. Meanwhile, a state of the art vacuum still cajoles quieter flavors including fresh cucumber, rosemary, mint and thyme. Yes, delicious in cocktails. But we suggest sipping it with just a cube of ice. Thanks to our engineer, Aaron Parecki of Stream PDX.

Joyriders, Meet Marley! Friends, I'm so stoked to introduce you to Marley Blonsky.  I absolutely love her unapologetic refusal to make biking in a bigger body about weight loss. GOOD STUFF. I'm not blowing smoke when I say that the content Marley makes just by living her life is stuff I wish I had seen 10 years ago! Hashtag inspiring. First, friends, Marley and I were supposed to record at StreamPDX this weekend, but there was change of plans. It didn't work out as we had hoped, this particular story below is one that I love and reference in the beginning of the show. I learned about it on this guy's podcast, Secular Buddhism.

In today's episode I sit with Michael Alexander. In the time that I have known Michael he has always been supportive, insightful and willing to share what he has to offer. I have had the pleasure to sit in several rooms with Michael Alexander in my roles in the community here in Portland in recent year. I appreciate his perspective and style, hopefully you will find something meaningful in our conversation. This episode was recorded at Open Signal in the Streampdx studio. Thank you for your support.

Howdy Joyriders! WELCOME TO SEASON THREE! I'm joined on episode 31 by reformed backpacker-turned-bikecamper Dana Kroeck of the blog Blisters and Bugbites! We chat about her love of rail trails, a magical car-free island in..Michigan, and the most unlikely group ride you can possibly imagine. But first.. UPDATES:  Bikequity: Money, Class, and Bicycling I'm honored to have been included with some excellent voices in Elly Blue's 14th installment of her feminist bicycling zine Taking The Lane called Bikequity: Money, Class, and Bicycling: Bicycling has the radical potential of equalizing our transportation system, creating more equitable opportunities from the personal to the societal, and being a vehicle for protest and social justice. But that isn't how it always works. The contributors to this volume of Taking the Lane zine tackle of the potentials and realities and unintended consequences of trying to create a better world using human-powered transportation. Edited by Elly Blue and featuring work by Tamika Butler, Adonia Lugo, Do Jun Lee, Gretchin Lair, V.K.

Big thanks to Tim Mooney from the Pedalshift Project for the invitation to join him and the guys from the Sprocket Podcast for a live recording at Stream PDX for the 100th episode of the Pedalshift Project! I was starting to get suuuper sick (hence the jar of orange/ginger/turmeric elixir) but still had a great time chatting with the Tim, Aaron, Guthrie, and Brock (not pictured, on account of him being the photographer) about type 2 fun, bike-it list items, and the future of bike touring. Check it out and let me know what you think!   Inspired to Ride Inspired to Ride follows the inaugural TransAm bike race from Oregon to Virginia which took place in 2015. It is an ultra-endurance self-supported race across the entire country. It's mind-blowing what these athletes do to themselves. Y'all. In digging up the trailer for this I discovered that Mike Hall was killed in 2017. He's prominently featured in the film and trailer below. He strikes me as a guy who did exactly what he wanted. May we all have the power to harness our own capabilities. Also the gal who I referenced as a BADASS WOMAN ON A BIKE in the pod is named Juliana Buhring, the Guinness World Record for being the fastest woman to circumnavigate the world on a bicycle and she wrote about Mike in this article for Outside. Here's the trailer. Ride in Peace, Mike.   Joyriders, Meet Dana Kroeck Friends, t Topics & Links Berks County, Pennsylvania http://bikebuckscounty.com/ Lancaster County, Pennsylvania https://lancasterpa.com/bicycling/ Rail Trails! A rail trail is the conversion of a disused railway track into a multi-use path, often including cycling and sometimes horse riding. Rail trails are typically flat and long, frequently running through historical areas, parks, or string together several of each kind. The Rails-to-Trails Conservancy is a 501(c)3 non-profit here in the States that is dedicated to working with communities to preserve unused railways and convert them into to rail trails and trail networks. Good stuff! Here's a great resource they made for finding a railtrail or multi-use trail near you.  PA Rail Trails https://www.traillink.com/trailsearch/?state=PA York County Heritage Rail Trail https://www.traillink.com/trail/heritage-rail-trail-county-park/ Chesapeake & Ohio Canal Towpath https://www.nps.gov/choh/index.htm Pedalshift Project's C&O Canal guide Molly Futterman's Joyride Episode JR003: http://thejoyridepodcast.com/2016/03/23/joyride003/ MapMyRide http://www.mapmyride.com/app/ Strava http://www.strava.com Here's a feminist POV on Strava's privacy settings.

This week on "State of Wonder," the Blazer talks about his side-gig as a rapper, Portland's indie remix pioneer brings home the win, Portland Community Media gets an update and more.Eugene Opera Hits the Pause Button - 1:25This week the Eugene Opera faced the music with a public meeting about its finances. Taking into account staff and office costs, the Eugene Opera needs $230,000 to stay alive through the end of the fiscal year this summer and has suspended the rest of its season. Trail Blazer Damian Lillard on Rapping and Starting a Record Label - 6:57You may know Damian Lillard for his buzzer beating shots on the basketball court: He was the NBA Rookie of the Year in his first season with the Trail Blazers in 2012, and he just extended a 5 year contract to stay on in Rip City. But you may not know that Lillard is also a musician. Last year, he released his debut album, “The Letter O,” under the moniker Dame DOLLA and launched his own record label called Front Page Music. Portland's Remix Pioneer, RAC, Wins Grammy - 12:27Portlander Andre Allen Anjos just brought home the city’s only Grammy this year for his remix of Bob Moses’ “Tearing Me Up.” Working under the name RAC, Anjos first found success with his remix of The Shins’ “Sleeping Lessons,” which was featured on Pitchfork then released as a B-side by the band themselves. He quickly became the go-to guy for indie groups, working with everyone from Death Cab for Cutie to The Yeah Yeah Yeahs — to say nothing of the mega stars like U2, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga.Anjos invited us into his studio to take apart how he remixed Odesza's "Say My Name," which was nominated for a Grammy last year.Making Public Access TV Cool For a New Generation - 22:27From "Wayne's World" to "UHF," public access television doesn't exactly have a sterling reputation. But that's about to change at Portland's station. Formerly known as Portland Community Media, the organization is renovating the building and rebranding itself as Open Signal, a media arts center where you can learn not only TV, but also storytelling, podcasting, coding, mixed reality, and other forms of digital media. A Vintage Airstream Trailer Transforms into a Podcast Studio - 30:30Curled up in the corner of Open Signal’s parking lot is a beautifully restored, vintage Airstream trailer that doubles as a mobile podcast studio. StreamPDX is an outgrowth of the late, lamented DIY makerspace, the XOXO Outpost. In this unconventional space, aspiring journalists and audiophiles have the opportunity to record and produce their own podcast. The Dark, Lovely Sounds of the 1939 Ensemble - 37:23Portland-based 1939 Ensemble is not just a jazz group. Their atypical beats slowly build momentum, creating an ominous wave of sound that is both unsettling and delightful, sounding like a bunch of jazz musicians were tasked to write a post-rock soundtrack for an edgy cop show. With vibraphone. New Documentary Explores Narrowly Averted Nuclear Disasters, With a Personal Twist - 44:07In 1964, the air force pilot Thomas Waldo McCormick got a mission to fly a B-52 carrying two 9-megaton thermonuclear bombs from Massachusetts to Georgia. It hit bad weather about halfway through its flight, and crashed in snowy woods outside of Washington, D.C, nearly averting nuclear disaster. McCormick's grandson, Portland filmmaker Matt McCormick, made a film about the crash entitled “Buzz One Four.”

Sorry 'bout the late post. It's the high holidays and the end of 2016. What with all the meeting families and work xmus parties, we are also moving our Stream PDX mobile recording trailer.

In September I was had the opportunity to attend the XOXOfest 2016, right here in Portland, Oregon. XOXO is an experimental festival celebrating independent artists who work on the internet. At the festival I was able to record this show in the Streampdx recording studio. The studio is built inside of a converted Airstream trailer and placed on the common at the festival. The goal is to create a podcast recording studio that is open to the community; providing a space to record and learn for everyone. I took this moment to record some thoughts on my own experience with creative endeavors and my experience at the festival itself. Thank you to the StreamPDX crew (especially @tyeshasnow & @aaronpk) and the everyone at XOXO that opened the door for me to attend. Be well. Peace
