Snacky Tunes

Genghis Cohen & Active Bird Community


Listen Later

This week on Snacky Tunes, Darin sits down with Marc Rose and Med Abrous of the iconic LA restaurant Genghis Cohen. In a heartfelt and candid conversation, they reflect on the emotional journey of deciding to close their original, legendary location and the hope and excitement of starting fresh in a new space. They discuss what it means to be woven into the cultural fabric of Los Angeles and the resilience it takes to keep a decades-old institution alive through change and upheaval.

Later, we dive into the archives for a live set from Brooklyn’s own Active Bird Community, recorded just before the release of their album Amends. It’s a lively session filled with music, laughs, and good vibes that perfectly complement the spirit of our food story.

For those looking to support LA restaurants, check out the Snacky Tunes Substack for donation links and action items. Also, a quick note: if you're looking to support the ongoing relief efforts for the LA fires, World Central Kitchen remains one of the best places to donate.
