It's official! Our most popular guest and co-host is back on and Zooming with Richard and Jazmin! Food Network's own Aarti Sequeira joins us and to talk about producing content 24/7 in this interim moment and the challenges that come with it: spouses as directors, kids as cameramen, how ants equal airtime and that old school Triple G (Guys Grocery Games) mentality that gets them all in trouble.  Plus Richard and Jazmin's professional home kitchen sagas continue as do the woes for indoor dining in restaurants in California.  Join us for some commiseration and celebration!

Richard and Jazmin sit-down (virtually) with Andre Mack; renowned sommelier, winemaker and, most recently, essential worker in Brooklyn at his newly opened &Sons; wine bar and market.  The guys wears a lot of hats and we get in to all of them on this episode.  Not to mention he finally settles the controversy over Taylor Pork Roll/Ham.  Plus, geek out with Richard as he asks those questions you always want to ask a sommelier from a Michelin-starred restaurant like: what's the oldest bottle you've opened or what was the most expensive bottle of wine you've sold? Come along for a inspiring talk and walk away with two solid sub sandwich recipes too.
