Mad Food

Longtime LA hospitality king, Brent Bolthouse joins Jordan to discuss his newest project, The Bungalow Kitchen, a Michael Mina restaurant meets Soho House hang on the waters of the surprisingly growing in respect food city of Long Beach. The fellas discuss that famous lobster black truffle pot pie, all the rigatoni, Nobu, cassette tapes, roasted Harry's Berries, and probably the most important reason to visit the LBC: Crispy Duck Wings.  

Michelle and Andrew Muñoz are Moo's Craft Barbecue, which was just named Best BBQ in California by Food & Wine. They join Jordan to talk about opening their first brick and mortar restaurant, the holy trinity, shrimp of course, 90's hip hop DJ'ing, coleslaw love, needing crunchy fries, and the desire to remain a mom and pop in this corporate, investor fueled food world.

Jordan is joined by an epic lineup of Hollywood heavy hitters like Dave Stassen's manager Mike Lasker, agent Uncle Pints, Bob Koch Esq., and writer Sammy Pitman to discuss their recent night at the new Jon & Vinny's patio in Brentwood. Top 3 J & V pizzas, chicken cutlet vs chicken parm, The Fusilli Club, Auntie Pints, and CRUSTGATE is covered in all its marinara and ranch excellence. 

Serious Eats founder and New Yorker Ed Levine joins to discuss the recent New York Times article calling Los Angeles bagels the best in the country. And it's all LA vs NY, Courage Bagels, Nancy Silverton, baguettes and butter, too much cream cheese, Jews in Paris, cucumber hate, and bialy love.

Mr. Eater LA joins to talk vaccines, outdoor & indoor dining realities, Filipino food, MAYHEM at Il Pastaio, the greatness of Goldburger, Salt Bae Beverly Hills, Simi Valley BBQ, and it all starts with Jordan reviewing a glorious night at Found Oyster, where he discovers scallops may very well be necessary.

First up, Lily Rosenthal joins to celebrate Mozza's outdoor dining excellence, and she learns a thing or two about Passover and nosebleed seats. Then, Jordan is joined by Max Block to discuss Dine LA deals, chic restaurant hats, filet mignon, and Malibu.

Jordan and Max celebrated the return of outdoor dining at Jordan's South Beverly Graceland, which never disappoints, and they breakdown their order with a surprise appearance from Pint's Sr. aka Dave Stassen! Plus, the beautiful night turned ugly for Jordan, and the boys answer listener questions about poke, weight gain, Angler, sexiness, and Max's top 5 LA restaurants.

Crystal Coser and Andy Wang are the co-hosts of LA Food Gang on Clubhouse, discussing all the food topics of the day on this new live, interactive platform, which Jordan knows nothing about, so let's get up to speed on this new new app taking the internet by audible storm. Plus, Jordan reveals the biggest LA food news development maybe ever, and Spoon By H, Antico, Hillstone, Curtis Stone pies, and more. 

Courage Bagels, with their charred crusty chew and farmer's market fresh vegetables (finally placing Los Angeles in the national bagel conversation), is the only acceptable reason to wake up early. Jordan sits down with Ari Skye and Chris Moss, the couple behind this Jewish art, where they divulge zero secrets, ignore Jordan's cucumber opinions, and answer one of the most important questions in the history of LA food media: why is there no avocado on the menu? This is the best bagel Angelenos have ever been served, and the dream is only just beginning.     

The best fried chicken in America is now available in Los Angeles at HiHo Cheeseburger on the Willie Mae Fried Chicken Sandwich, so Willie Mae's owner Kerry Seaton-Stewart joins all the way from New Orleans to talk how it started with Jordan and Willie Mae's super fan and returning Air Jordan guest Jamie P.
