Episodes

Some stuff went technically sideways tonight, but that’s the beauty of live…you just go with it. And in the end, it was another great show – especially the Pastrami Wrap (which btw ares so damn good we hope they’ll become a tradition in your own homes. Pastrami Wrap Recipe
Thanks for being here…

This Monday was a fun one. Max some how contracted a double case of conjunctivitis (Pink Eye) over the weekend and couldn’t join us in person. He did Skype in to say hi as did a couple of fans. Also, Sean and I switch places and work out some small technical difficulties in our new roles.

As promised, Sam announces the winner for the caption contest and ends the show by making a killer veggie fajita. Yup, that’s right, no meat, but don’t worry they’re just as delicious. Make them, try it, even your meat-a-tarian friends will like it.

Livecasters, what a crazy fun evening. I’ll keep this short because it’s just another one of our Friday (your Thursday) nights where we have a blast together. Sam starts by making a TnT cocktail but it’s tequila and tonic instead. Pretty sweet huh?

The rest of the episode we get to talk about why we love to do this livecast so much. The control is all ours and yours. No networks to tell us how to run the show, no notes, no edits, just live entertaining food talk. We’re glad you’re on board and you livecast fans are the best. Tonight, before it is all said and done, Sam makes an epic shrimp po’boy. It was so freaking delicious I can hardly come up with anymore adjectives beyond ‘epic’ to describe it.

Sup Livecasters today we start by making a delicious and easy cocktail called Bourbon Dishwater. It is a refreshing thing to have for these summer days so make sure you tune in to find how easy it is.

For those that aren’t in San Diego, let me introduce our special guest from one of the city’s most successful restaurants: Urban Solace. If you are from San Diego and haven’t heard of Matt Gordon and his brain-child Urban Solace… what the heck? Go try their food, tell them Sam sent you! Chef Matt Gordon has journeyed on one of the strangest paths to restaurant ownership. It’s certainly an interesting departure from the traditional “go to culinary school, work under a bunch of great chefs, and then open your own place” type of deal. Matt doesn’t disappoint either. He brings Sam and the crew some of his signature dishes from the restaurant like duck-a-roni, chicken and dumplings, and house biscuits.

Yo, let’s get the word out livecasters, tell people to tune in on this website for all the Sam you want, whenever you want. Remember, we go live Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 6PM PST. We’ll be there. Will you?

Now you may say to yourself, “Self, that is the weirdest episode title ever. How is this show going to be any good?” I can tell you for sure that we all couldn’t stop laughing at tonight’s livecast. It was hilarious. Sam finally gets around to talking about why he hates the Food Network in our new segment. However, before we got there, we must have hit every other random topic ranging from the plague of hot laptops to male genitals, why British accents make everything better (including porn, yes you read that right, we keep it PG-13 so don’t worry), Steve’s terrible experience at Oliver Peoples, and addressing the livecast from last Thursday that has stirred up quite a ruckus.

You won’t want to miss this one, we make a simple soju and tea cocktail that was really refreshing and Sam makes a 2.5 minute-flat teriyaki chicken that he says is “the bomb”. It really was, I had two bowls.
