It started with host Joe Ricchio and a diverse group of guests having a discussion revolving around a simple food theme that almost everyone has a strong opinion about. It has now evolved into an entirely different animal that, while still food-centric, can branch out into very unexpected territory.

I know that, as of today, the world seems like a crazy fucking place. The one thing that we have to cope with this is wine. All morning, all afternoon, and all night. I meet up with one of my new favorite people, wine writer Jim Laughren, and we get right into it. Please enjoy.

In this episode, I have the privilege of speaking with Martin Connelly, owner of The Little Red Cup Tea Co. Not only do we discuss the different styles of tea, with a focus on China, but he also provides a glimpse into the business of importing tea.
Also - Trapper Keepers.

In this episode, I cover all things restaurant-related with Chef/Owner of Preux & Proper in Los Angeles, Sammy Monsour. As it turns out, we both have fairly assertive opinions on the topic...
Also Burning Man, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and what makes a great burger (and what does not).
Between segments, I make the "Filthy Halo" with Belfry Bourbon from Stroudwater Distillery!

Chef Devin Finigan truly does it all. Her restaurant, Aragosta at Goose Cove in Deer Isle, Maine, is simply one of the most enjoyable experiences in the entire state. Her enthusiasm for what she does is absolutely contagious and left me wanting to schedule another visit in the Fall.
In this episode, we discuss the past, present, and future of Aragosta, while deviating to address everything from dining al fresco to cod sperm. Also that time someone ruined my birthday cake..
Also we make Mint Juleps with Belfry Bourbon from Stroudwater Distillery, the recipe is available at foodcomapodcast.com!

Something you may or may not know is that I've been doing a weekly radio show on the Downtown with Rich Kimball Show called "Shut Up and Eat" for 4 years now. I was quite excited to turn the tables on Rich and his co-host Carey as we discuss the wide variety of impressive guests that have been on the show over the years. We talk a little bit about politics until realizing that by the time this episode would be released, any news would be ancient history. So instead we watch what I think is one of hte funniest sports clips of all time, the elements of proper Gumbo and Hurricanes, and my ill-fated interview with Quiet Riot bassist Rudy Sarzo.
This is really one of my favorite episodes and I hope you enjoy! Also, stay tuned for details regarding our new Patron program where we will be hosting the content for Food Coma: My 70's Kitchen.

In this episode I welcome a friend from WAY back - Allison Gray, owner of Northstar Holistic Medicine. Her work in the medical field addresses the issues that, more often than not, your doctor will not, like hormone therapy and assessing the bodies deficiencies before just banging out another RX. We discuss psychedelics, carnivorous plants, and people with a genetic makeup that allows them to metabolize alcohol in a different way.
Oh, and some festive new ideas for baking your own Communion Loaf this holiday season!

In this episode, I take plenty of time to wax nostalgic about the good ole days with Joshua Miranda, owner of both Blyth and Burrows and Via Vecchia in Portland, Maine. His work in the restaurant, night club, and hospitality business spans decades and has found him in New York City, Miami, and then finally back in Portland. Let’s just say he was knee-deep in the game back when sporty wristbands were fashionable behind the bar.
We talk about our shared experiences, mine being significantly dumber, working in night clubs, as well as the kind of restaurants we loved growing up (with an emphasis on Portland, obviously). We examine the ill-fated Portland Public Market, what went wrong, what went right, and the benefits of getting paid in wine. Did you know that the bar in Cocktail is based on a TGI Fridays? Well, we did. We sure did.
Lastly, I provide one of my top tips to save money.

Musician and budding Hot Sauce Tycoon Evan Smith is my guest on the 4th episode of season 2. Evan plays keyboard, synthesizers, and sax in the band Bleachers, while his recording and performing credits run the gamut from St. Vincent to Bon Iver to Taylor Swift.
Throughout his musical career he has always maintained his enthusiasm for cooking, and has recently launched his own hot sauce (evansrockin.com) that even heat enthusiast Rachel Ray claims that she “Puts on EVERYTHING.”
I am intrigued by the classic 80’s “Rock and Roll Sax Guy,” and proceed to ask Evan a barrage of asinine questions about the merits of the Sax Solo as well as the Keytar. We discuss the ups and downs of restaurants that run on Sysco, modern life on tour, and opening for Billy Joel at Fenway park in 2015.
And of course, no episode is complete with a story about that time I did a bunch of coke and someone fed me a delicious 4-course meal - and why that was one of the worst meals I’ve ever had.
Special Thanks to Episode Sponsor Coal’s Bayside.
I would also like to mention that I will be making an announcement about the launch of my Patreon subscription program that will provide exclusive and recipe-driven content for members. News on that soon.
Please enjoy. You can also find the episode on iTunes, Spotify, Google Play!, and Stitcher.

In episode 18 we welcome our first repeat guest, Nellie Edwards, to compare experiences around week 5 of the pandemic. Everyone handles stress and changes a little differently, and some in healthier manners than others. As it turns out, you can have too much of ANYTHING, no matter how good it is - Saltines and Hot Balls come to mind.
Of course, the nostalgia and tales of debauchery flow freely...
Please enjoy. You can also find the episode on iTunes, Spotify, Google Play!, and Stitcher.
