Episode 422: Royce Burke Talks with Us about L.A. 2019 at All Day Baby Dec 15, 2019

Show notes

As 2019 draws to a close, we meet up with our good pal, Chef Royce Burke of Secret Lasagna fame, at one of Los Angeles’ most anticipated restaurants of the year, All Day Baby. We take a look back on the last 12 months and all the ups, the downs, the old, the new and the key players that made L.A.’s dining scene so exciting. In keeping with the themes of reflection and Los Angeles, we pull from our archives the first-ever live music recording we did at the Silver Lake studios of Dangerbird Records. Performing for us that day in 2018 were Peter Walker, Aaron Espinoza and John Schlue of the music-and-art collective, Arthur King. The group crafts ambient improvised music utilizing synthesizer, guitar, drum machine and sounds extracted from environmental field recordings, combined with the experimental visual projections.

Episode 420: Paulina Escanes & Sarah Jaffe Dec 01, 2019

Show notes

We connect with Paulina Escanes, chef-owner of the critically acclaimed San Juan, Puerto Rico, restaurant Paulina Escanes Gourmandize. Paulina hails from Guadalajara, Mexico, where she was instilled with an early love of good eating having been raised in a family of gourmands. A longtime resident of Puerto Rico, she stepped into the restaurant business first as a baker before eventually opening her eponymous restaurant in 2018, where she serves an eclectic menu influenced by her upbringing, world travels and local ingredients. Singer-songwriter Sarah Jaffe defies any real genre having recorded acoustic-folk, indie pop and hip hop tracks. The native North Texan got her first guitar at age 9, and was writing and performing songs by the time she was in high school. Since then, Sarah’s shared the stage with the likes of St. Vincent, Lou Barlow, Norah Jones and Cyndi Lauper. She joins us in our Brooklyn studio for a live performance of songs from her latest EP, SMUT.

Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico in fall 2017.

We connect with celebrated chef and native son, Jose Enrique, at the third annual Culinary Getaway, hosted at Dorado Beach, a Ritz Carlton Reserve. Jose, who despite losing the roof, the windows and the power to his widely acclaimed eponymous restaurant in San Juan during the storm, reopened his doors and continues to be a resolute and active champion of the island’s vibrant culinary community. Back in July 2016, we played host to the immensely talented musician Bryndon Cook, better known as Starchild & The New Romantic. Since meeting up with us, he has worked with the likes of Solange, Chairlift and Blood Orange.

Episode 413: Multisensory Dining Experience Oct 13, 2019

Show notes

We’re in London to meet up with world-famous experimental psychologist Professor Charles Spence, founder of the Crossmodal Research Laboratory at the Department of Experimental Psychology at Oxford University. Professor Spence specializes in neuroscience-inspired multisensory design, and has extensively researched how the background sounds and music that happens to be playing in bars, restaurants and cafes biases what customers choose to purchase, order, and/or consume, not to mention what they think it tastes like, how much they enjoy – and would be willing to pay for – the experience. We drop into our musical vault and pull a 2011 in-studio performance from multi-talented L.A.-based electronic music producer Daedelus.
