Description
Just a quick moment (ok, 3 minutes) of your time, please!We are delighted to announce that we have joined Patreon, offering listeners a way to support Andrew Talks to Chefs and enjoy extra benefits and content.Nothing about our regular, free content has changed. We will continue producing our nightly specials through the end of May, then return to our regular, longform weekly shows. And all of that will be available as it always has.But for listeners who would like to support this labor of love, Patreon creates a way to contribute, and help us to continue to produce the show in the coming months and years, and receive additional, patron-only content in the process.If you visit our Patreon page, you will see that we have created 4 membership tiers at various monthly price points, each offering a little something (and in some cases a LOT of somethings) in exchange, from our undying thanks and an on-air thank-you, to monthly bonus episodes, blog posts, and participation in polls, to the opportunity to hear your name featured at the end of our opening montage. Our first bonus content--available at the Main Course tier and above, and produced just for Patreon members--is a nearly 2-hour special report featuring Andrew's never-before-aired Chefs, Drugs, and Rock & Roll book interviews with Manresa's David Kinch, along with Andrew's commentary about the interview process.For the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown, we will be dividing the first monthly payment of each new member's dues (after Patreon's commission, transfer fees, and taxes) to a different relief fund or charity affiliated with that month's guest. From April 26 - May 31, 2020, we are supporting the Manresa Employee Relief Fund. Hope you'll take a moment to listen to this announcement, and to consider supporting the show via Patreon.Thanks for being a part of our podcasting adventure!

Episode 5: Paul Kahan: While in Gotham City to promote his new cookbook Cheers to the Publican (coauthored with chef Cosmo Goss and collaborator Rachel Holtzman) Chicago's Paul Kahan--named Outstanding Chef in 2013 by the James Beard Foundation--dropped by for a chat about growing up the son of a Chicago smoked fish purveyor, bolting the computer programming trade for the pro kitchen, his formative years working for Erwin Drechsler and Rick Bayless, and his culinary kinship with California. Oh, and he tells us why the "wrestler's mentality" he developed in high school has served him well to this day. He also takes us through his early chef-owner days opening Blackbird, avec, and The Publican, and up to the 10-entity empire he and his partners run today. And, of course, we chat about why he wrote this cookbook, at this time. by Andrew Talks to Chefs
