This week on the Shift List, Jonathan Whitener — chef and co-owner of Here's Looking At You in Los Angeles's Koreatown. Similar to his cooking, Jonathan's musical tastes are a reflection of his family and surrounding environment. Outlaw country from his father, '80s metal from his brothers, and a love for Glenn Danzig that continues to this day. Since it opened in 2016, Here's Looking at You has appeared on almost every ‘best of' restaurant list around LA — and that's due to a number of factors: Co-owner Lien Ta's laser focus on service and comforting hospitality; top-notch tiki-adjacent bar service; the evolving playlists blending old school hip-hop and post-punk; but it's anchored by Whitener's anything goes approach to cooking. Whitener grew up in Huntington Beach, CA the son of a Mexican mother and a German father. Growing up near Orange County's thriving Vietnamese and Japanese communities, he pulls all of these influences into his “SoCal tapas-style” menu with standout dishes like the shishito peppers accompanied with an tonnato sauce — the Italian answer to hummus — sprinkled with Huamei, a preserved Chinese plum. Or for another example, frogs legs seasoned like Nashville hot chicken with a salsa negra, scallion, and lime. Whitener cut his teeth for three years as the chef de cuisine for Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo's restaurant Animal in Los Angeles before opening Here's Looking At You with Lien Ta, who he met while she was serving as front-of-house manager at Animal.

Helen Johannesen is the Director of Operations of several spectacular Los Angeles restaurants (Animal, Son of a Gun, Petit Trois, Trois Familia & Trois Mec). In April 2015, she partnered with Jon Shook & Vinny Dotolo to open Jon & Vinny’s where, at the back of the space, she has a retail wine store called Helen’s. Though it is likely the smallest wine shop in the world, it has an outsized impact. In her wine cube, Helen holds classes, fulfills club membership and even delivery orders. On this episode of Speaking Broadly, Helen expounds on what she learned on her journey to the center of the wine world, what her wine selection says about her, and what to buy now.

_ Snacky Tunes _ is coming at you from a parking lot in LA this week as host Darin Bresnitz is on the scene with Chefs Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo of Animal, Son of a Gun, Jon and Vinny’s, Trois Mec, Petit Trois, Trois Familia, & Helen’s.  Jon and Vinny met in culinary school 15 years ago, where they share they first thought about opening a restaurant together. Chatting about opening animal, a wildly successful restaurant in Los Angeles, their next restaurant, Son of a Gun, a seafood-focused spot that is an homage to the fish shacks they grew up with in Florida, the duo have also partnered with Chef Ludo Lefebvre for delicious destinations. In the second half of the show, Greg welcomes Todd Goldstein AKA Arms to the studio talking his long history with Snacky Tunes and what he’s been up to since 2009! Todd has been writing and recording music under the name ARMS since 2004, which is a pretty long time if you think about it. His songs are sinewy and guitar-forward, with a wild energy and an sad core. His lyrics are sly, aching sketches written in language both more oblique and more direct than normal speech. There have been two ARMS full-length albums—the noisy, melancholic Kids Aflame (2008) and its fancied-up widescreen sequel Summer Skills (2011)—a handful of singles and EPs, a covers album, and 2013’s rollicking EP2. The 3rd and latest ARMS album—a collection of songs recorded with longtime drummer Tlacael Esparza, called Patterns—will be released in the spring of 2016. Notably, ARMS has shared the stage with Passion Pit, Walkmen, Beach House, White Rabbits, The Long Winters, A Place to Bury Strangers, Japandroids, Hospitality, Caveman, Asobi Seksu, and more. Stay tuned for his acoustic set! “Yes, local is great and it’s awesome and we love it but let’s just try to make the most delicious food… we don’t beat people over the head with it.” [9:00] –Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo on Snacky Tunes
