Mad Food

To celebrate 50 years of Chez Panisse, we replay the 2019 Air Jordan Alice Waters interview, where the queen talks microwave hatred, tacos vs burritos, burgers vs steaks, LA vs NY, and of course all that farm-to-table slow cooking. But before that, Jordan and Max review the recent LA Times Food article on Chez Panisse and the fellas answer questions from the audience like most disappointing hyped new restaurants, how to build the perfect five ingredient sandwich, LA vs SF, Langer's vs Katz's, best LA cocktail, Jordan's Bavel mushroom skewer issue, how to curb those fat body food cravings, and so many more very important topics.

The L.A. born and raised 2 Michelin star chef behind Melisse, Citrin, Charcoal, and Dear John's joins Jordan and Max to talk all the restaurants, all the chicken including a new restaurant and California Chicken Cafe, needing good Chinese food, cooking steak, the lobster bolognese, and Doritos of course.

Caroline Styne and Suzanne Goin have been partners in food and life for over 20 years, feeding Los Angeles their hearts, souls, and bacon-wrapped parmesan-stuffed dates. They join Jordan to talk the new AOC Brentwood, the perfect Hollywood Bowl bites, top 3 items on a cheese plate, finally opening in DTLA, and the goddamn Coron.

Crunchy shrimp hand rolls, French fry stuffed lavash wrapped kabobs, and Nutella oozing fried dough with returning Air Jordan all-star Josh Peck. But before the fellas review those North Hollywood delicacies from Chiba, Jonah's Kabob's, and Papillon Bakery, the talk is all Jordan's Jelly Belly issues, his trendy dieting, and Josh's new Disney+ show Turner & Hooch.

Kate Burr is a Jersey born LA girl in the food know, and joins Jordan to discuss her work for the brand formerly known as Weight Watchers. She also reviews recent experiences at Girl & The Goat, the soon to be slinging DTLA slices Danny Boy's, Bobby Flay's new Las Vegas Italian seafood must-have, and her and Jordan agree on the perfect Vegas brunch at Sadelle's. Plus, Ggiatta's New Jersey sandwich greatness and rainbow cookies, Delilah LV's King Crab Endive Caesar, and more Matū.

Raul Ortega is the owner and chef of the best food truck in Los Angeles, which serves Jordan's favorite taco. The origins of the iconic taco dorado de camaron is discussed in all its fried to order, shrimpy greatness, in this dripping in ceviche, aguachile, and octopus segment. Then, Max Shapiro joins to talk Matū, the new Beverly Hills grass-fed wagyu experience from the Sugarfish man himself, Jerry Greenberg.

Marriage is what brings us together today. And when you mix marriage and food, problems can and will arise. Enter Larry Longo, restaurateur and Off The Menu CEO, who loves to eat whatever he wants, and his wife Astrid Swan, trainer and fitness model, who isn't having any of Larry's despicable chewing behavior. The couple sit down with Jordan for some much needed food therapy, plus Larry and Jordan kind of learn about healthy eating.

Jordan and Noah talk it all: the origins of Cofax's greatness, where breakfast burritos go wrong, eating with celebrities vs. foodies (peasants), L.A. Italians delis, Jordan's milk streak, the dream food mall, and Jordan's very own Cofax breakfast burrito creation.

Jordan and Max experienced the Silverlake one seating a night Chinese family style private patio meal from Needle, and it's all garlic sauces, scallions, and L.A.'s best char siu. Plus, Jordan met Max's dad at the Air Jordan commissary, South Beverly Grill.

They're friends, love food, and raise money for people in need - they are Liv a Lil. The girls join Jordan in the Sherman Oaks Food Building to discuss the exclusive food collaboration drops they've been organizing for charity. Plus, Jordan, Olivia, and Lily went to Bicyclette Bistro, the biggest LA restaurant opening in recent memory, and review the night. Air Jordan: A Food Podcast is sponsored by Goldbelly.
