Episode 252:Grimms’ Fairy Tale Eggplant

I talk about an iced matcha latte from SightSee Coffee (Thanks Maari!!) that really did it for me and make a case for not watching season two of ‘The Bear’. Plus, what does one do with a fairytale eggplant? Is it a designer vegetable?? Is it the cock-a-poo of vegetables??? Or is it simply a delightfully small, sweet and creamy eggplant from south east Asia? Let’s find out together.

Episode 162: *Noodz* with Joe and Kevin Nierstedt

I finally muster up the energy to record an episode in 2021. My old pal Joe Nierstedt and my new pal Kev Nierstedt come on the show to discuss their pop-up KATSUBŌ (which I am currently obsessed with. I have nearly perfect attendance!) We talk what makes a ramen broth different from a tradtional stock and how they decided on their John’s Island Hot Chicken concept, Kinfolk. Joe and I are old friends from the NYC days of yore and we touch on why working in restaurants (even fancy ones!) doesn’t actually prepare you for running you own business, like, at all..

Here’s what I order at KATSUBŌ:

Shoyu (Chicken) Ramen add Kimchi and a seasoned egg, Hot Chicken Katsu ( I LOVE CHICKEN OK?) + a coke.
