He's cooked all over the place but most recently he's taken over as executive chef of the infamous Michael's here in LA's Santa Monica.

This week on The Stew we welcome back Andre's mom Jill! She is a wonderful person full of weird knowledge and ideas about food, the last time she was on, it was a fan fav. We talk about our drinking stories, and we get into a lot of mushroom talk, and we obviously circle back to some new age theories on eating and how it effects our body, then we finish up with some listener questions! Also happy birthday to my mom Karen!!!
