Episode Description from the Publisher

Eve Plumb was 10 years old when she landed the role of Jan Brady, the middle daughter on The Brady Bunch, and now she's sharing what was going on behind-the-scenes in her new memoir, Happiness Included: Jan Brady and Beyond. The night Eve got the part, in 1969, her parents took her out for a celebratory dinner at Martoni’s, a martini-soaked, Italian-American Hollywood hot spot popular with folks in the music industry. Los Angeles culinary historian Katherine Spiers spills the tea on all the juicy Martoni’s celebrity gossip and tells host Rachel Belle which unsuspecting dish was all the rage in 1960s L.A. Eve connects the dots between her favorite fast food order and her last meal and talks about which The Brady Bunch cast member she still has monthly drinks with!  Become a Cascade PBS member and support public media!     Watch Rachel’s Cascade PBS TV show The Nosh with Rachel Belle.   Sign up for Rachel’s (free!) biweekly Cascade PBS newsletter for more food musings.   Follow along on Instagram.   Order Rachel’s cookbook Open Sesame.
