January 28, 2023 ORIGIN STORY / Why should we care about the James Beard Awards?
On this epic POD DEBUT, I give you the 411 on what the heck the Countdown is, and why I'm embarking on a quest to eat 100 iconic LA sandwiches in 365 days. We're then joined by Friend of the Countdown Cousin Salman to talk about the James Beard Awards' semifinalists, and why we should even care about these kinds of awards in the first place.
