- Mystery Week"Hanabi has been on a delicious New Orleans bender, and that train is still rolling. As Hanabi gets set to head out to New Orleans, he decided that since it’s going to be a calorie bust, he might as well get into some salad. Healthy, green salad. There are good salads, and there are bad salads. Hanabi wants you to eat more good salads. By the way, the best salad is the salad Nicoise.Yes, it’s better than a Cobb salad, and is slightly better than a Caesar salad. Of note, Hanabi means the actual Caesar salad made the proper way with raw yolks table-side, and not that ridiculous cream based dressing that passes for Caesar dressing. Oh, and it has to have the anchovies too. Since we’re talking Salad, Hanabi had a Chef’s salad at the Standard in New Orleans.The Chef’s salad is pretty good, still not up to a Nicoise though. Nothing goers better with a salad than a Sazerac. Remember that.00:00 Intro03:41 Glass Ceiling Universe- Apprentice Destroyer09:08 Crome Temple- Apprentice Destroyer12:55 Break25:12 The MotorWay- The Besnard Lakes29:39 In The Forest- The Besnard Lakes35:14 Break46:20 Basic Things- Darkstar48:13 Inherent In The Fibre- Darkstar52:03 Stroke The Fire- Darkstar56:00 Outro59:58 FinishLinks:The StandardParkway TavernMuffalettaBands:The Besnard LakesApprentice DestroyerDarkstar00:00 - Intro03:41 - Glass Ceiling Universe - Apprentice Destroyer09:08 - Crome Temple - Apprentice Destroyer12:55 - Break25:12 - The MotorWay - The Besnard Lakes29:39 - In The Forest - The Besnard Lakes35:14 - Break46:20 - Basic Things - Darkstar48:13 - Inherent In The Fibre - Darkstar52:03 - Stroke The Fire - Darkstar56:00 - Outro59:58 - Finish"1 hr

- Fear Week"This week Hanabi gives us the dirt on his trip to New Orleans. Let’s get Cafe Du Monde right out of the way.It’s truly an amazing place in which $5 gets you instant gratification. A chicory coffee and plate of fresh beignets is really all you need. Open 24 hours too! As Hanabi is wont to do, he visited an Izakaya for a fresh take on octopus.It took him awhile to eat it but it was worth it. He went to the famed Lafitte’s Blacksmith and saw a cop on horseback stroll up and order a drink.Speaking of drinks, he sampled LA 31’s Biere Noir.He stuck around the French Quarter, but that place is loaded with places to eat and drink and just see weird things in general. Oh, Hanabi will be there over halloween and Day of the Dead so there will be more to report.00:00 Intro04:10 Fancy Flaws- Young Galaxy08:22 Elevator- Young Rivals10:30 Hanabi talks Cafe Du Monde and Yuki Izakaya19:46 Somewhere Over The Rainbow- The Space Lady25:16 Approaching The Surface- Total Unicorn31:07 Hanabi eats at Yo Momas!37:40 Cascades- Metric43:00 Darling Save Us- Pure Bathin Culture45:50 All The Way- !!!52:22 Last tips on NOLA55:38 FinishLinks:Cafe Du MondeLafitte’sIzakayaBands:The Space LadyTotal UnicornMetric00:00 - Intro04:10 - Fancy Flaws - Young Galaxy08:22 - Elevator - Young Rivals10:30 - Hanabi talks Cafe Du Monde and Yuki Izakaya19:46 - Somewhere Over The Rainbow - The Space Lady25:16 - Approaching The Surface - Total Unicorn31:07 - Hanabi eats at Yo Momas!37:40 - Cascades - Metric43:00 - Darling Save Us - Pure Bathin Culture45:50 - All The Way - !!!52:22 - Last tips on NOLA55:38 - Finish"56 min

About Hanabi, BTRtoday
From the publisher's feed
Hanabi is a man of two faces, in two places.
He's originally from Minneapolis MN. But a wayfarer's spirit and his parents had him seeking solace in the sunnier climes of California. Hanabi currently resides in San Francisco and works in this little industry that some people have heard of called the "tech industry." He's eschewed the current economic trends in California of gold mining, panning for gold, and the shipping of goods and sundries for this upstart tech business. He also owns a screen printing business for good measure. He's a trained chef, a wizard in the kitchen, and an avid world traveler. Oh, and he likes to collect vintage synthesizers to round out his renaissance man persona.
Hanabi is also a man who hails from Sacramento, CA -- the state capital if you will. We had an actor from Austria as our governor. If you flew into the Sacramento airport a few years ago you would have seen shirts in various gift shops that said things like "The Gover-nator" because that same actor-turned-politician used to star is some robot shoot-em-ups. But not many people are familiar enough with his work, so I digress... Hanabi is an audio-engineer and live sound technician by trade. He can play the drums well -- like, really well. He currently resides in Seattle and is on a mission to seek out every single craft brew made in the Northwest and review them so you don't have to.
Some common threads among Hanabi's two personalities are: 1) a love of great food, whether it's from a $300 a person price-fixe menu or a meal using kitchen hacks that cost $10 to make; 2) a love of really odd Japanese music and; 3) finally, of course, they're both hella (Nor-Cal saying, kinda like "hyphy") West Coast for life.
Hanabi hosts Eatopia and Japanese Super Terrific Happy Hour on BTR.
