So, how have they been able to sustain interest and continue serving high-quality chicken and fixings? This week on Food Friday, we’ll learn from Julian Sanchez, executive chef for Howlin’ Rays.

While the rest of the world is going through a heatwave, California's temperature has stayed relatively mild this week. But it's still summer and the sun is still out, so what better way to take advantage of LA's good weather than a cup of ice cream? Not just any ice cream, though. Today on AirTalk, we're trying New Zealand-style ice cream with Creamy Boys, a perfect blend of fresh fruit and vanilla ice cream. Joining us is the founder and CEO of Creamy Boys, Duncan Parsons. Maybe we'll get to the bottom of what makes their soft serve so creamy.
