Episode Description from the Publisher

Matt Rodbard, founder of TASTE and host of This Is TASTE, returns to The LA Food Podcast for an unfiltered conversation at Crudo e Nudo about Los Angeles vs. New York dining, Santa Barbara’s rising restaurant scene (shouout Drift Hotel), twenty-dollar burritos, René Redzepi’s return to Noma, RFK Jr.’s cooking show and the growing influence of credit card companies on restaurants and pop-ups. Then Kevin Noparvar, better known as How Kev Eats, joins Luca at Café Telegrama to rate the restaurant’s pancakes, burger and tuna melt live, reveal his favorite LA pizza, tacos and burgers, and explain how six years of making no money led to millions of followers and the launch of Biter. Plus, Kev breaks down his approach to honest restaurant reviews, the responsibility that comes with influencing small businesses and the new Biter Concierge before committing the episode’s greatest crime: declaring pasta the worst carb.Taqueando After Dark TicketsLA Pizza Run & Walk Club Tickets
