Yelling About Pâté

Lien Ta @lientigre is co-owner and frontwoman of one of the most exciting and inventive restaurants in LA: Here's Looking At You aka HLAY. she joins the boys to discuss the highs and lows of opening an acclaimed eatery, why you should avoid table 37 and how they get that tartare to taste so damn good.

great comedian and noted gourmand matt braunger @braunger stops by to talk pastrami ribs, hanging out on the road with gallagher's racist ass, and how we're all probably gonna get gout if we keep eating like an 19th century robber baron.

in the first guestless ep since ol episode 1, karl and joel dig into some listener emails, and see what you, the YAPers and Pâtéheads of the world, have to say about the show, life in general and, of course, sex vs. cheese.

the very special podcast crossover ep you didn't know you needed in your life is here, as we sit down with chef Sammy Monsour and beverage director Kassady Wiggins of the 86 Pie podcast @86piepodcast to drink whiskey and talk shop, shit, and sustenance.

mike glazer @glazerboohoohoo is a comedian, cook and cannabis connoisseur of the highest order. he joins the fellas to talk being high af in culinary school, getting screamed at by gordon ramsay on tv while baked, and the deadly, eternal struggle between cake boss and ace of cakes.

chef eddie ruiz is firmly in the vanguard of the alta california movement that is changing mexican food in america, and he has big plans for los angeles and beyond. he joins the fellas with some mezcal straight from oaxaca to talk maguey, mexico, the movement and, of course Roadhouse.

steve sampson's Rossoblu just might be the best restaurant in LA. we sit down with the man himself to talk finding your zone, non-existent rivalries, how he gets that eggplant so nice, and whether or not tom colicchio can ball.

tim dillon @timjdillon is a fast-rising star in the world of comedy as well as an opinionated food lover. he joins the fellas to talk lying to strangers, how to make the perfect soufflé, pre-melted ice cream, the horrors of well-done meat, and why some people should just give up on their dreams.

bbq master and future oprah guest burt bakman of the powerhouse @trudys_underground_barbecue joins the boys to talk juicy brisket, his highly anticipated brick and mortar, giving away meat to strangers, and almost hitting thomas keller with his car.

kevin meehan is a gardener, mentor, father, culinary badass, fine-dining disciple and executive chef of Kali restaurant. he joins the fellas to talk about the highs and lows of the pirate life, getting the shit burned outta him by Ludo, and being the kanye west of the santa monica farmer's market.

noted fast food and simpsons thought leader Nick Wiger @nickwiger of the great Doughboys podcast joins the fellas to talk, well, fast food and simpsons mostly. if this is happening here, i'd hate to think what's happening on euro yelling about pâté...

Wes Avila turns out some of the best and most lauded tacos in all of Los Angeles from his truck Guerilla Tacos. he sits down with the fellas to drink some orange wine and discuss his hotly anticipated restaurant, his new cookbook, the charms of living in Glendale, and dunking on haters.

pho master perry cheung @chefperrycheung of phorage joins the boys to talk about the magic of good stock, why pho puns are dumb as hell (except the title of this episode) and his secret dank beef tendon stash. also, karl and joel get in a heated debate about pho vs ramen.

Eater senior editor Farley Elliot joins the fellas for a look back on the year that was. sure, 2017 was pretty trash, but we ate a lot of good shit so it's all good. trends, top bites, a look ahead to 2018, warm champagne that joel brought for some reason: this ep truly has it all.

frankly, it's shocking that it's taken us this long to do a booze episode. Dave Fernie runs some of the coolest bars in LA, and, as such, he brought us a bottle of mezcal to drink while we recorded this ep, like a gentleman does. Unsurprisingly, we finished the whole bottle and things went off the rails a bit. There's lots of singing and talking bout butts. enjoy!

whether he's putting out gorgeous fine dining plates on the 71st floor of a skyscraper or rock-climbing a 900ft route, chef jon butler likes to be up there. he joins the boys to talk about his time at Noma, making a fake apple and filling it with foie, and why you might have to shoo rene redzepi out of your yard with a broom. also, joel recounts the harrowing experience of being on guy fieri's game show.

comedian and noted yelling advocate Nick Turner joins the fellas to talk mcdonald's trips in korea, colombian food in ktown, and why Friends is actually a good show despite its inaccurate depiction of chefs/homophobia. also, joel is back from his trip to bali, but sadly he was bitten by a monkey and has monkey flu and very little time left to live.
