Maya Lau, a journalist and podcast guest, joins Smart Mouth to discuss topics such as the flavors of bay leaves, the truth about their toxicity, and a comparison between Oprah Winfrey and Gwyneth Paltrow's controversies. They also touch on Gwyneth Paltrow's comments about Ben Affleck and Brad Pitt, the quality of bay leaves in the market, and express gratitude to the guest.

Maya Lau joins Smart Mouth for the last episode of the season! They discuss bay leaves, living in foreign countries, compare Oprah and Gwyneth, and even touch on Gwyneth Paltrow's comments on celebrity bed performances and her show Sex Love and Goop.

Jamie Loftus, an expert on the food industry and author of 'Raw Dog: The Naked Truth About Hot Dogs', discusses topics such as the ethics of running a hot dog business, the influence of Upton Sinclair's novel on the meat processing industry, the impact of the Pure Food and Drug Act on Coca-Cola, humorous conversations about drugs and women's rights, and the treatment of workers in the meat processing industry.

In this special episode, I’m sharing a conversation I had on a new podcast, Other People’s Pockets. On Other People’s Pockets, journalist Maya Lau asks people from all walks of life to get radically transparent about their personal finances in order to learn more about who we are and level the financial playing field along the way. Maya and I chatted about eating my way through L.A and what it means for my finances, along with how I went from food writing to business ownership.

Tamar Adler does such cool work with cooking - her new book, The Everlasting Meal Cookbook: Leftovers A-Z, outlines how to actually use all the food you have in your kitchen. It’s extremely helpful and I really appreciate her point of view - there’s a tendency in the US to be like "here are things to buy to be more earth-friendly.” No. That is not the vibe today. Also I bonded with Tamar over the dirty looks we get in the grocery store for doing something that is considered so gross - but it’s not!
