    Show notes

    In this episode of Snacky Tunes, Darin continues the conversation about the ongoing challenges faced by the Los Angeles restaurant community in the wake of the devastating fires. Over two weeks in, the fires continue to impact the city with little clarity on the road ahead.

    First, Darin welcomes back Charles Namba and Courtney Kaplan of Tsubaki, Ototo, and Camélia, who share their experiences navigating the crisis. The duo instead provides an honest look at how the fires have affected their business and the broader restaurant industry—facing a 50% drop in covers, grappling with outdoor dining decisions, and doing their best to keep staff employed. They offer valuable insights and practical tips on how listeners can support their favorite spots during these uncertain times.

    In the second half of the show, Courtney Storer joins the conversation to discuss how she has been feeding the community through her company, Coco’s to GoGo, an inspiring culinary initiative driven by a dedicated network of volunteers. She shares actionable advice on organizing community support, the importance of self-care for those committing to long-term relief efforts, and her goal to make her nonna inspired food feel like a warm hug.

    Bar Etoile & Metal Bubble Trio (Live) Jan 12, 2025
    Show notes

    We recorded this episode on Tuesday, January 7th at 12:30pm. A few hours later, Travis Hayden, chef of Bar Etoile, would lose his house to the Palisades Fire and my family would lose our house to the Eaton Canyon Fire. Our communities have been devastated, but also beyond supportive and full of so much love. We wanted to share the episode we had put together for the start of the year to have something normal and regular.

    On this episode of Snacky Tunes, Darin sits down with Julian, Jill, and Travis of Bar Etoile to chat about their recent opening and all of the amazing success from the jump. They talk about their journey to starting the restaurant, why they wanted to build a neighborhood spot, and which dish of theirs was named one of the best in LA. Then we hang out with Andrew Dost of Metal Bubble Trio, who talks about and plays tracks from his new album, Cucumber. We talk about his love for food, his creative process and how music & art has helped shape his life.

    If you are looking to feed the community who was effected by the LA fire, please donate to WCK.
