Foodie and the Beast – Oct. 6, 2019

Hosted by David and Nycci Nellis.

On today’s show:

o celebrity chef Spike Mendelsohn, doing the plant burger thing in a big way;
o master bread baker Daniel Leader, a living legend, who’s authored another stunning cookbook for artisan bakers, “Living Bread;”
o John Melfi, the executive chef at one of the many great restaurants in Ashok Bajaj’s Knightsbridge Group – Modena, on New York Avenue. It’s a new concept, offering Italian-influenced California cuisine driven by sustainable, locally sourced ingredients. John has weathered some serious health issues while staying the course and serving dishes worthy of la vera cucina italiana;

• and, toasting our anniversaries, Anna Bran-Leis and Levi Woodzell are in from Dos Mamis and the Taqueria del Barrio.
