The Stew

This week on The Stew we welcome Jordan Okun, a food writer based here in Los Angeles who is not only a talented eater, but a Stew fan, so he’s able to slide right in with Jason and Andre’s pod sensibilities. We chat about “MajorDomo," the new Momofuku restaurant here in LA, the bread at Cheesecake Factory, the best slice of Pizza in LA, Jonathan Gold still at the top? Grand Central Market, what’s a better idea for a first date, bar or restaurant, and so much more!

This week on The Stew Jason & Andre welcome Emily & Heather from the new and wildly popular LA restaurant “Botanica.” Known for fresh, healthy, thoughtful, and very attractive food on the eastside of town. We chat about their process of working in food media for years before switching over to the dark side, their backgrounds in cooking, and some listener questions too.

This week on The Stew we welcome Chef Hunter Pritchett, from the newly opened “Melody” restaurant in Los Angeles, specializing in self proclaimed lazy french cooking. Theres nothing lazy about what goes into his dishes though, Jason and Andre break down a bunch of stuff on his menu, his cooking career leading up to now, working in intense french kitchens making dover sole, to developing and consulting for the wildly popular Mendocino Farms. Hunter knows a lot about cooking and we’re all lucky to learn a thing or two from the fella.

This week on The Stew is all about meat! LA butcher god and A+ meat cutter Jered Standing is our guest this week. Jason and Andre chat with him all about off cuts, sustainable whole animal butchery, take tons of questions from listeners, which I may add are getting better and better every week! Great job guys :)

This week on The Stew you thought we were done in 2017 but hell no we’ve got one more on deck. Jason, Andre, and Stewie chat about our New Years Eve plans for a bit up front and then get into a nice recap of Stewie’s recent trip to London and France, and we talk about all the cool stuff he ate like 100 sea urchins and 70 baguettes.

This week on The Stew: Jason and Andre squeeze in one last poddy of 2017 despite being sick! That’s how much we love you guys for making this year huge for us. We take a bunch of your questions like have we gone too far in to the healthy boy lifestyle, what was the best thing we ate all YEAR? air fryers, carbonara again why not, caviar, mint in the aioli, if we were stranded on a deserted island and we could only bring 3 chipotle ingredients, what would they be. Stuff like that. Love you guys and have a great Holiday season and thanks for listening !!!!

This week on The Stew: special guest Luke Reyes, a chef here in LA who’s actually doing something cool and smart with food and marijuana, and he’s opening a ramen restaurant on the side. Jason and Andre chat with him about those two things pretty much, how to put pot in your food and not have to call 911 or lock yourself in a closet, plus the ins and outs of ramen stock making, hint: it sounds like way more work that I ever wanna do.
