Today on Up+Adam, we’re welcoming back a friend and favorite local chef, Jacob Towne of The Spoon Trade in Grover Beach. Jacob and his partner, Brooke, have transformed The Spoon Trade into a Central Coast staple that’s earned attention well beyond California. In September, they were featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, putting the spotlight on their unique blend of scratch-made dishes and commitment to fresh, local ingredients. And if that wasn’t enough, Jacob recently took his culinary talents to Guy’s Grocery Games, walking away as the latest champion after facing off in some wild challenges.

Listen in for the behind-the-scenes stories, insights on what’s next for this culinary team, and a look at how national exposure has shaped The Spoon Trade’s future.

Veteran's Day w/ Purple Heart Recipient & WWII Vet Dick Grantham Nov 11, 2024

In this special Veterans Day episode of Up+Adam, we honor the life and legacy of World War II veteran Richard “Dick” Grantham. A Quartermaster who served in some of the Pacific’s fiercest battles, Dick carried the weight of a nation’s courage through war and peace. He was awarded the Purple Heart for his heroic efforts aboard the USS Dupage, where he survived a devastating attack and later served in pivotal battles at Leyte Gulf, Okinawa, and beyond.

Adam first met Dick in 2021 when he shared his story with me at a Veterans' dinner Adam hosted, and his quiet strength left a lasting impression. Almost a year later, his family invited Adam into his home to capture his story one last time—what no one knew though, it would be just hours before he passed away. His voice was frail, his breaths labored, yet his spirit was unbroken.

In this episode, we listen to Dick’s final words, honoring a man who gave everything for his country and shared his last moments to remind us of the power of sacrifice.

As we honor Dick’s memory, let us also remember the countless men and women who’ve served and continue to serve, standing as quiet heroes who protect our freedoms every day. To each of you, thank you.

Emmy Winning Journalist David Scott from CourtTV | How Music, Wine, & History Intersect Here with Paderewski Oct 29, 2024

In this gripping episode of Up+Adam, we sit down with award-winning investigative journalist David Scott to discuss his latest project, Court TV's Interview with a Killer. With 14 Emmy Awards, a Peabody Award, and two Columbia DuPont Batons to his name, David has spent his career shining a light on some of the world's most challenging and untold stories. His new series, Interview with a Killer, which debuted as Court TV's most-watched original series on October 20, takes viewers inside the country's highest-security prisons, offering a chilling look at some of the most notorious convicted killers. Airing Sunday nights at 8:00 p.m, David's in-depth interviews delve into the motives and mindsets behind these heinous acts, offering insight into what drives individuals to commit the ultimate crime.

Jenna shares fascinating insights into Ignacy Paderewski’s legacy—not just as a musician but also as an agricultural pioneer who helped put Paso Robles on the map.

Ingredients:

16 oz (1 can each) cannellini beans, kidney beans, and garbanzo beans (drained and rinsed)
1 English cucumber, sliced
2 heirloom tomatoes, chopped
1 small red onion, thickly sliced
Salt & pepper to taste
1/4 cup of your favorite dressing or vinaigrette (get creative!)

Optional Additions

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, toss the cannellini, kidney, and garbanzo beans with the cucumber, heirloom tomatoes, and red onion.

Season:

Add salt and pepper to taste.

Dress the salad:

Drizzle 1/4 cup of your preferred dressing or vinaigrette. Mix thoroughly until everything is well-coated.

Store and serve:

This salad holds up well for the workweek. Enjoy it on its own, add it to wraps, or mix it into leafy greens for a more filling meal.

Bonus: Easy Romesco Sauce (Optional)

This zesty romesco sauce brings extra flavor to the salad or works as a base for layering.

Ingredients:

1 roasted green pepper
1 bunch cilantro
1 tomato
1 clove garlic
Juice of 1 lime
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
Salt to taste

Instructions:

Blend:

In a blender, combine the roasted green pepper, cilantro, tomato, garlic, lime juice, and olive oil.

Serve:

Use this romesco sauce at the bottom of your bean salad bowl for a flavorful twist!

Chef’s Note

Make this salad your own! Play around with the beans, veggies, and dressings to match your cravings. The romesco sauce adds a delicious flair, but the salad shines just as brightly on its own.

Enjoy a fresh, healthy meal with minimal prep and maximum flavor!

The Punxsutawney of Presidential Elections: Allan Lichtman’s Almost Perfect Forecast Sep 17, 2024

In today’s episode of Up+Adam, we’re joined by who some call a luminary in the field of political history and forecasting, Allan Lichtman. Allan is a distinguished professor at American University and the brilliant mind behind the “13 Keys to the White House”—a nonpartisan prediction system that has accurately forecasted 9 out of the last 10 U.S. presidential elections. We’re diving deep into his fascinating methodology, which distills presidential elections down to 13 critical factors that transcend polls and political spin.

We keep it completely nonpartisan as we explore how these keys have unlocked the mysteries of electoral outcomes for nearly four decades. Allan shares his latest prediction for the upcoming election, and while we might take it with the same grain of salt as the groundhog seeing his shadow, it’s intriguing to hear from someone with such an impressive track record. Tune in as we uncover the secrets behind his system and what it might mean for the future of American politics.

Friday! 8/16 Data Breaches, New Local School Rules, Pet of the Week, and More! Aug 16, 2024

A note from Reese, our 2 year old Pet of the Week from Woods Humane Society:

I’m Reese, a 2-year-old Australian Shepherd! I'm incredibly sweet and affectionate, and I love being around people. I am a playful, fun loving gal, nothing makes me happier than playing with my favorite stuffies or carrying a blanket around in my mouth. Fetching a frisbee or ball is my absolute favorite game!

I'm a bit nervous and unsure around other dogs, probably because I haven't had much chance to practice socializing with them. I have had fun playing with a few mellow, experienced dogs who understand when I need my space and respect my boundaries.

I'm looking for a home where I can continue to learn and grow at my own pace. With my loving nature and playful spirit, I'm ready to bring joy and companionship to my new family. Can't wait to meet you! See my pic and get to know me HERE

Adam Talks to NYT Best Selling Author who Bought and Lives in a Ghost Town in Death Valley Aug 01, 2024

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A long-abandoned silver mine for sale sounded like an adventure too great to pass up, but it turned into much more—a calling, a community of millions, and hard-earned lessons about chasing impractical dreams.

The siren song of Cerro Gordo, a desolate ghost town perched high above Death Valley, has seduced thousands since the 1800s, but few fell harder for it than Brent Underwood, who moved there in March of 2020, only to be immediately snowed in and trapped for weeks.

It had once been the largest silver mine in California. Over $500 million worth of ore was pulled from the miles of tunnels below the town. Butch Cassidy, Mark Twain, and other infamous characters of the American West were rumored to have stayed there. Newspapers reported a murder a week. But that was over 150 years ago.

Underwood bet his life savings—and his life—on this majestic, hardscrabble town that had broken its fair share of ambitious men and women. What followed were fires, floods, earthquakes, and perhaps strangest, fame. Ghost Town Living tells the story of a man against the elements, a forgotten historic place against the modern world, and a dream against all odds—one that has captured millions of followers around the world.

Ghost Town Living is a thrilling read, but it’s also a call to action—to question our too-practical lives and instead seek adventure, build something original, redefine work, and embrace the unknown. It shows what it means to dedicate your life to something, to take a mighty swing at a crazy idea and, like the cardsharps who once haunted Cerro Gordo, go all in.

Thursday 5/23 SLO's Homeless Getting Tiny Homes | Grizzly Mauling Survival | Part 2 with Phil Hendrie May 23, 2024

Part 2, and the conclusion of our chat with broadcast and comedy legend, Phil Hendrie. Phil has not only reshaped the landscape of radio with his ingenious blend of character-driven satire but also touched the lives of countless listeners and fellow broadcasters, Adam included.

Phil Hendrie has not only entertained but also challenged us to think differently about the media we consume. His characters—outrageous, controversial, yet undeniably human—push the boundaries of traditional broadcasting. He also has a new documentary that pulls the curtains back on it all.

Adam on Phil Hendrie, "As I sit about to chat with Phil Hendrie, the man who turned talk radio into an art form, I can't help but reflect on my own journey. Phil has inspired me to embrace the chaos of this business, to innovate relentlessly and to let creativity lead the way, consequences be damned. This conversation isn't just a highlight of my career; it's a pivotal moment that I'll carry with me forever."

Friday 5/17 What Really Happened to Mother's Tavern and What Would YOU Do if You Had a SLO County Liquor License Burning a Hole in YOUR Pocket? May 17, 2024

What is the real story behind the closure of Mother’s Tavern after 40 years? The paper didn't quite seem to have the full story. We talk to multi restaurant, bar, and establishment owner Billy Hales and learn what actually went down. Billy owns everything from McCarthy’s to Bulls to Etto, to Milestone, to the Library, to Mason Bar, to Rooster Creek, to , (well you get the idea, yes there’s more). We ask what he thinks of the new owners at the old Mothers Tavern spot, which bar he wishes he owned, and what he plans to do with that SLO County liquor license just burning a hole in his pocket after unloading Creeky Tiki. Billy’s real, tells it like it is, and it’s sure to be a great convo.

Adam also pays tribute to Bob Stock (DJ Bob). The local beloved Dj and event specialist died suddenly Tuesday and it rocked the central coast and beyond.

Today on Up+Adam, we're thrilled to have actor/neighbor Casey Biggs. Most of you might recognize him as Damar from "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (but he’s been in a ton of TV shows and movies)," but today, we're shining a spotlight on his remarkable contributions right here on the Central Coast (he’s a local). Casey has been lending his talents to the Applause Children's Theatre, helping to inspire young performers. Just recently, they wowed audiences with their production of "The Wizard of Oz." And yes, I'll admit, we were supposed to air this chat before the curtain rose, but hey, even your trusty host can miss a cue! Despite the timing hiccup, our conversation was too good not to share. From his days at Juilliard to his profound impact on stage and his deep involvement in local community work, Casey's journey is as inspiring as it is interstellar.

Thursday 4/25 Sunset and Scandals: LA Times Investigative Reporter Paul Pringle Apr 25, 2024

Today we welcome Paul Pringle, an investigative reporter for the Los Angeles Times and the mind behind the groundbreaking podcast 'Fallen Angels.' Paul’s relentless pursuit of truth led to the explosive uncovering of the scandal involving Carmen Puliafito, the former dean of the USC medical school, whose secret life of drugs and debauchery was hidden by layers of power and privilege. This story not only challenges the glitzy facade of Los Angeles but also exposes the deep-rooted corruption within some of its most revered institutions (i.e: USC and LA Times). Paul’s book Bad City was a prelude to the podcast, both are interesting for those fascinated by investigative journalism.

Tuesday 4/9 Where Are They Now? Why Did Central Coast's Nationally Famous Magician, Rich Ferguson, Seem to Disappear? Apr 09, 2024

Where are they now? What ever happened to SLO County’s nationally famous magician, Rich Ferguson? He was a prank regular on NBC’s Today Show, he was on The Tonight Show, Ellen, and many more.

We knew he was good at making ‘stuff’ disappear, but we didn’t know what to think when HE himself seemed to disappear. His YouTube page with millions of followers seemed to lack current content for a long while as well. We caught up with Rich, found out what he has been up to the last several years, and more importantly, what is next for this talented musician with Central Coast roots.

Check out this promo reel of Rich HERE

Tuesday 4/2 If Spiderman Had One Hand - Cal Poly Math Teacher by Day, USA Team Paraclimber by Night Apr 02, 2024

Meet Dylan, an extraordinary individual defying expectations and scaling new heights, quite literally. By day, he's a dedicated professor of mathematics at Cal Poly, balancing the complexities of academia with the challenges of raising a family. But outside the lecture halls, Dylan's passion for climbing propels him into a world of exhilarating adventure. At the age of 50, Dylan embarked on a remarkable journey into the world of competitive climbing, a feat made even more remarkable considering he does so with just one hand. After an impressive finish in his debut at the National Championships, Dylan has secured a spot on the esteemed U.S. National Paraclimbing Team.

His determination and passion for the sport have led him to represent the USA at prestigious World Cup events in Salt Lake City, Innsbruck, and Arco.

As the Paraclimbing website describes, paraclimbing is sport climbing for those with disabilities. But watching Dylan, or any other person with one arm or one leg or whatever it may be, ascend vertical walls defies any notion of the word, ‘disability’.

To continue pursuing his dreams on the international stage, Dylan relies on support from friends, family, and kind-hearted neighbors. Your contribution not only aids Dylan's journey but also amplifies the message of resilience and limitless potential that he embodies for our community. Join us in supporting Dylan as he climbs to new heights and inspires others along the way. We’d love to see some businesses get involved with sponsorships, but if you have a few extra bucks, or want to pool at work, it’s worth it.

Dylan’s GoFundMe is HERE

Monday - Can You Save Endangered Species By Serving Them? Apr 01, 2024

Conservationist and Chef Aiden Dominguez is on to talk about the controversial take on endangered conservation, which is to actually consume the animal. As odd as it sounds, there are some experts with some like minded opinions like this NYT article ‘An Unlikely Way to Save a Species: Serve It for Dinner’ HERE

Chef Aiden prepares Snowy Plovers he harvested from Point Reyes, Ca.

Fried Snowy Plovers With Truffles

Place four plovers in a saucepan after cleaning, drawing and trussing them, and add five ounces of butter, a couple of cloves, and a few raw truffles cut into slices, with salt and pepper to taste. Place the pan over a brisk fire and cook for about ten minutes or so, then add two tablespoonfuls of flour and a wineglassful of Talley Chardonnay to a half pint of the stock; pour it into a saucepan, place it over a fire and cook gently for twenty minutes, stirring frequently. When done, arrange the birds on a dish, add the juice of one lemon to the stock, boil again for a few minutes, and pour it over the plovers, and they are ready for serving.

Wine Pairing: 2021 Talleys Rosemary’s Vineyard Chardonnay

About ‘The Pour’:

This debut episode has been 14+ years in the making. In 2010, Radio Host Adam Montiel combined his longtime love for broadcasting with his, then, new love for wine. He created and produced, ‘The Cork Dorks’. The show was hosted with Adam and his good friend Jeremy. It was the first of its kind. It began focusing on central coast wineries but as the show grew, so did their ability to travel and meet other winemakers they found everywhere from Napa to Bordeaux that adopted that same Central Coast quality of people willing to share their wines, and their stories.

As the area grew, soon the show covered everything from spirits, craft beer, cider, cuisine, hospitality, and more. Fast forward to today, the spirit and enthusiasm cultivated with the award winning The Cork Dorks show, is reborn, this time independently, and unfettered by corporate authority leaving it even more free to share the journey of making wine more approachable and fun for everyone.

Here, We Taste It. We Spill It. We Leave it All On the Table. This is ‘The Pour’ with Adam Montiel.

We got invited to the SLO Police Headquarters to chat with Deputy Chief Fred Mickel and Public Affairs Manager Christine Wallace all about St Frattys looting, rioting, and more.

We also have back in super talented musician Gary Wooten. Gary is a rare breed of guitarist that plays an 8 string hybrid guitar, where some strings are to play bass, and some are to play guitar, so he is literally playing TWO instruments, and doing the job of TWO musicians at ONCE! He has a new album called Low Standards Vol 1 where he plays super familiar songs in this really unique way. He plays along with Adam and improves some fun stuff like Warren G and more.

Tuesday 3/19 Get Ready For Spring and Support a Great Cause Mar 19, 2024

We chat with Alexandra Chamberlain of Tolosa Children’s Dental Center (TCDC). They are a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that opened in 2003. In the first year, 500 children were treated, and now averaging over 5,000 children annually. TCDC offers comprehensive quality pediatric dental services including preventive, oral health education, restorative, and emergency treatment.

Tooth decay is a significant problem in children and even more so in underserved populations. Untreated cavities lead to pain, infection, and tooth loss and can affect eating and sleeping, resulting in missed school, lower self-esteem, and negatively impacting relationship building and future employment opportunities.

TCDC has become a trusted dental center for underserved children throughout San Luis Obispo County. Without TCDC, most of these children would not receive oral health care.

They have flowers donated to them by Dummen from the Dummen Orange Flower Show that are left to sell for this great cause. This is a ridiculous sale of 50-80% off spectacular flowers and plants right in time for spring, and all for a great cause. For more check their website. The event is free but they sell 40 early bird tickets if you want to get in an hour before the public.

Monday 3/18 What Happened to Radio with SF Broadcast Icon Damon Bruce Mar 18, 2024

What happened to radio? Adam welcomes San Francisco sports talk icon Damon Bruce to chat about how listening habits and the medium itself have changed. While radio proves to be an ecology in decline, podcasting is growing, and as the facts below reflect, the culture is quickly changing.

Follow along with Damon Bruce HERE

Between 2014 and 2023, podcasting has seen a significant increase in popularity, growing from 13% of time spent with spoken word audio to 36% during that period. In comparison, AM/FM radio decreased in popularity over the same period, going down from 78% to 44%. The report also shows that podcasts are most commonly listened to at work and at home while AM/FM’s last hold is still in-car listening.

"Podcasting now accounts for over one-third of the time spent with spoken word audio,” said Edison Research vice president Megan Lazovick. “The cultural shift to digital certainly benefits this space, or perhaps, it's vice versa - the growing enthusiasm for podcasting is shifting the culture digital. Either way - podcast listening continues to grow.”

81% of Gen Z respondents believe that a universal monoculture where people are unified by certain time-based events, like traditional morning radio shows, no longer exists. It’s an on-demand culture. Morning show culture is over.

Weekend Special - Only Pans Kitchen Takeover - Monika's Macarons! Mar 17, 2024

Weekend Special

You’ve heard of Only Fans? This is Up+Adam’s ‘Only Pans’ - Kitchen conversations with the area's best chefs and culinary creators. Today we’re hanging out in the kitchen of Monika of Monika’s Macarons to learn how to make macarons the right way!

Monika’s Macarons specializes in crafting “One-of-a-Kind” Parisian French Macarons. Monika has galvanized her French heritage and is passionate about perfecting the petite French delicacy. Her macarons are made with gluten free ingredients but don't let dissuade you if you're good with gluten, you won't even know! Monika’s Macarons are the best!

Monika was really sweet to share so much with me and guide me in making these, if YOU have any questions on how better to master these at home, go to AdamMontiel.com and submit a question and Adam will personally ask Monika and get you an answer.

Visit Monika’s Macarons HERE

Monika’s Macaron Chocolate Ganache Filling

PREP TIME - 5 minutes
COOK TIME - 1 minute
ADDITIONAL TIME - 4 hours
TOTAL TIME - 4 hours 6 minutes

Ingredients

Chocolate Ganache Macaron Filling
120g semi-sweet chocolate or chocolate chips (2/3 cup)
20g unsalted butter (1 1/2 Tbsp)
120g heavy cream (1/2 cup)

Equipment

Kitchen scale
Immersion Blender

Chocolate Ganache Macaron Filling

The chocolate ganache filling needs about 2 hours to set, so I recommend making it first! It can also be made up to a week in advance.

Place 120g of semi-sweet chocolate and 20g of unsalted butter in a medium-sized bowl and set aside.

Pour 120g heavy cream into a heat-proof bowl and heat in 15 second intervals in the microwave until it just begins to bubble (this usually takes me about 45 seconds). If you don't have a microwave, heat the cream over a medium-high heat in a saucepan until it starts to bubble and steam.

Pour the heavy cream over the chocolate and butter. Make sure all the chocolate is submerged beneath the cream. Let the mixture sit for a couple minutes.

Use an immersion blender or a spoon to mix the ganache until the mixture has come together and is smooth.

Press a piece of plastic wrap flush against the ganache to prevent a skin from forming. Place the bowl in the fridge to chill for about 2 hours. If you make it in advance, let it chill in the fridge in a bowl and scoop it into a piping bag when you're ready to use it.

When you're ready to use this ganache, place it in a piping bag fit with a large round piping tip. It should be thick enough to scoop into the piping bag and hold its shape.

Pipe a thick dollop of chocolate ganache on one macaron shell. Gently press a second shell on top of the ganache to create a sandwich.

Place the finished macarons in the fridge in an airtight container to mature overnight. When you're ready to enjoy them, let them sit at room temperature for 10-20 minutes and enjoy!

Friday 3/15 Monika Teaches Me Macarons - but We Should Leave it to Her Mar 15, 2024

Monika’s Macarons specializes in crafting “One-of-a-Kind” Parisian French Macarons. Monika has galvanized her French heritage and is passionate about perfecting the petite French delicacy.

Monika Macarons Famous Hand-Made French Macarons have captured the hearts and pallets of many people, reputable publications, restaurants, artisans and specialty markets alike.

Part 4 of Chris Lambert from the Your Own Backyard Podcast is Up+Adam to round out a great week of conversations. If you haven’t listened to the previous days chats w/ Chris, they are varied, but they are all great listening.

Part 1 The latest news of the Smart Family and their legal complaint against Cal Poly.
Part 2 When Paul was attacked in prison as well as his thoughts on other nationally known murder cases.

Friday 12/22 Adam Montiel's 10th Annual Breaking & Entering Christmas Tradition Dec 22, 2023

The Christmas season is a time for giving, love, hope, and miracles. For us, it's an opportunity to redefine the meaning of "breaking and entering." Now in its 10th year, the Breaking & Entering Christmas tradition spearheaded by a dedicated team goes beyond its unconventional name. It's about bringing joy to families in genuine need, transforming their homes into winter wonderlands, and creating lasting memories that will warm their hearts in a way they will never want to forget.

Transforming Homes with Holiday Cheer:

In the heart of this initiative, we orchestrate a magical transformation of a deserving family's home. Waiting until the family is briefly away, volunteers set the stage. Lights are strung, trees are adorned, and presents are wrapped with care. The result? A festive surprise awaiting the family upon their return—a Christmas they'll never forget. It's a beautiful reminder of the power of community, compassion, and the simple act of giving time to make someone else's holiday extraordinary while allowing them to remain anonymous.

Community Involvement and Future Plans:

Central to the success of Breaking & Entering Christmas is the involvement of the community. We seek nominations for the recipient family, maintaining their anonymity to ensure an intimate and personal celebration. As the 10th edition wraps up, we are grateful for the support received and look ahead to the 11th Breaking & Entering Christmas. Plans for the future include once again rallying community support to continue this heartwarming tradition. As we reflect on the joy shared and the holiday spirit kindled, Adam Montiel's Breaking & Entering Christmas stands as a testament to the magic that happens when a community comes together to make a difference during the most wonderful time of the year.

Thanks so much to all those involved in this year’s Breaking & Entering - Including but not all:

It's Tuesday and we're chatting with Meteorologist John Lindsey about the weather we are getting on the central coast. If you remember last year, all this crazy rain was happening right around now, and it didn’t seem to end for a few months. Can that happen again? We will ask? Also, why are Finnish people among the happiest in the world? Five letters, and it’s catching on all around the world. We’re talking about, as they say, taking a SAUNA. We will talk to Fin, Winemaker and owner of Kukkula Winery who shares the culture with us, as well as the depths the sauna goes in their culture. Fascinating.
