Welcome to Episode 43 of our "Public Comment" podcast. As former elected officials in Napa Valley, we talk about politics, people and whatever else is on our minds.

Our first guest of Season 3 is Chef Ken Frank, owner of La Toque Restaurant at the Westin Verasa Napa. We talk about how he turned his passion for food and cooking at a young age into a highly-acclaimed culinary career. We also talk about making the most of opportunities, the challenges of hospitality and tourism, and the need for a family culture in the kitchen. #latoquerestaurant #westinverasanapa #napavalley #publiccommentpodcast #winecountry #communityconversations #napa
