Jason Stanhope (2015 James Beard Award Winning ‘Best Chef Southeast’) is our guest and an absolute champion who makes poems out of words about food. We were totally and completely honored to have 144 of our closest friends in the audience at Theatre 99 to watch the antics for themselves. Literal “laughing out loud” happened….a special and most sincere thank you to each and every one of you who bought a ticket, it makes all the difference.
Corrie + Shuai Wang = Short Grain and if there’s one thing they’re not straight out of….it’s: brain-melting creativity. The EffinBRadio studio actually exploded with warm fuzzies and now we have no where to record. (With only two days left before INDUSTRY NIGHT LIVE we really needed a wildly adorable pick-me-up.) #shortgrain4eva..
or at least until they open their brick and mortar…duh duh duh…*foreshadowing*
The gang invites the often imitated never duplicated RJ Dye into the studio to talk about how to remain sober and still work in restaurants…*spoiler alert: he starts drinking* He’s as charming as he is tall…and he’s 6’7″.
Phil, Lindsay and Nikki get into a heated debate about what makes a sandwich a sandwich and discuss why burgers (while still between two buns) are not sandwiches. The rules are personal…and people’s feelings get hurt….
Lindsay, Philip & Adam learn that changing a tire is hard…but more importantly we are joined in the studio by Ben Leventhal (Co-founder of Eater and Founder of Resy) to talk restaurant technology. It’s futuristic…dude…
Becca Barnet is gorgeous. She’s charming. And she will skin a coyote faster than you can say “Is that a dead bird in your freezer?” Adam Nemirow returns to guest host with Lindsay and Phil and we talk pizza toppings and rent-a-cars.
Lindsay and Phil talk to Erin Perkins (Charleston’s busiest blogger) about working from home, getting “tips” and we speculate on whether or not the internet “fad” is going to last. It’s more exciting than catching Pokémon.
Nikki, Phil and Lindsay get down to brass tacks with legendary Chef “Dano” Heinze about his bittersweet departure from Mccrady’s and Charleston as we know it….we also pitch him a revolutionary new idea for potato salad on the go. If you’ve never had the extreme pleasure of hearing Dano laugh…..well…you’re welcome.
Nikki, Phil and Lindsay return to interview the devilishly handsome [and wildly talented] David Mccarus of Mccarus Beverage Co. Let your inner wine-geek/freak flag fly. You’ll be glad you did.
