Show 316, March 23, 2019: Show Preview with Co-Host Andy Harris

Now an enticing preview of this Saturday’s properly decadent show. It’s not, with profuse apologies, for dieters. If we’re successful we will always leave you incredibly hungry and thirsty. In our case, and upon careful reflection, that’s probably a pretty good thing… As always, we greatly appreciate you being a part of our loyal listening audience.

Pasadena’s The Pizza Plant (under a year old & with ambitious expansion plans) is a 100 percent plant-based producer of a variety of artisanal pan style and thin crust pizzas. They operate the first custom made, 100 percent organic, plant-based pizza truck in the United States. Also, a brick-and-mortar fast casual restaurant in an unusual virtual food court (Kitchen United.) “Life is Delicious.” Rolling the from-scratch dough out for us is Co-Founder, Marvin Acuna.

ADYA Chef/Partner Shachi Mehra and Puesto Chef Katy Smith will present “From Mumbai to Mexico City,” their 2nd annual collaborative dinner, to be held on Thursday, March 28th at 6 p.m. at ADYA in the Anaheim Packing House. The dinner will feature 5 courses that showcase each chef’s individual style, as well as the magic that happens when the authentic flavors of ADYA and Puesto collide. In addition, Puesto Pastry Chef Erik Aronow will be involved in the dinner, creating a one-of-a-kind dessert inspired by both India and Mexico. Escaping from their busy kitchens to join us with the specifics are Chef Shachi Mehra and Chef Katy Smith.

Famous for their signature fresh strawberry whipped cream cake, Phoenix Bakery has been creating delectable cakes and pastries since 1938. Founded by, and still operated by the Chan Family, their little Chinese bakery serves families and celebrities alike for all occasions. It’s one of the five-original business operating in L.A.’s historic Chinatown. Baker (and Family Member) Youlen Chan expertly ices the cake for us.

Masters of Taste is a premier food and beverage festival on the field of the iconic Rose Bowl on Sunday April 7th. 100 percent of event proceeds benefit Union Station Homeless Services, a 501(c)(3) organization. The fourth annual event introduces an exciting new host chef concept, featuring Michael Hung (Faith & Flower) as the premier event host/ambassador. Chef Michael Hung is our guest.

The Pisoni family’s goal: grow exceptional grapes to make exceptional wine. Wines made by the Pisoni family are bottled under the Pisoni Estate and Lucia labels. Gary and his two sons, Mark and Jeff, farm and produce Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Syrah from their three vineyards in the Santa Lucia Highlands: Pisoni, Garys’ and Soberanes vineyards.  These vineyards and wines represent an extreme commitment to farming and classical winemaking. Winemaker Jeff Pisoni gently pulls the cork for us.

All of this and heaping helpings of extra deliciousness (and just desserts) on this week’s not-to-miss show!
