Episode 380: And The Winner Is... Jan 13, 2019

Show notes

Timothy Hollingsworth is one of America’s most respected chefs. He began cutting his teeth in kitchens during high school, and age 21 he became a commis at Thomas Keller’s venerated The French Laundry in Napa Valley. Timothy eventually became the restaurant’s Chef de Cuisine, and under Keller’s tutelage even competed in the prestigious Bocuse d’Or world cuisine contest in Lyon, France, in 2009. (He came in 6th, which at the time was the highest finish ever for an American chef.) Now living in Los Angeles, Timothy has opened Otium, C.J. Boyd’s Fried Chicken and Free Play. We talk to him about his illustrious career so far, and get the skinny on his recent victory on Netflix’s cooking competition show, The Final Table.

Episode 379: Pizza Nomads + Synth-Pop Dreams Dec 16, 2018

Show notes

Chef Zach Swemle and Marlee Blodgett are the dynamic duo behind the beloved Neapolitan-inspired La Morra Pizzeria. The pair met in NYC, and decamped for Charleston, SC, where Zach built a mobile pizza oven from the bed of trailer. La Morra then developed a fast and dedicated following. A year later in the summer of 2017, they rolled out of town and headed to Los Angeles where they’ve been wowing the masses with their slow-fermented dough and wood-fired pies. Dev Ray is the solo project from California native Devin Ratliff, former member of dream-punk bands So Many Wizards and Tomemitsu. Dev Ray’s debut 2017 single was a moody synth cover of The Pointer Sisters’ classic, “I’m So Excited”. We catch up with him at Dangerbird Records’ studio where he gives us a live listen to his newest songs.
