cito,

I'm really glad Jake has a new radio home. I guess my radio will have to learn a new location on the dial.

Regards,

My segment about Rampfest and the dig -- featuring guys like our own John Bubala, Paul Kahan and others -- is currently scheduled to air tomorrow, April 3, on WBEZ, 91.5FM, during the 9AM and 8PM segments of 848. You can listen live or pick up a podcast anytime after the airdate at:

On podcast, you can go right to the segment rather than listening to the whole show.

I enjoyed the podcast, David. Perhaps smelt fishing is the new "snipe hunting," recalled by my father as a ploy that he and his buddies (enlisted men of the Korean War era) used to draw my mother and her K-State sorority sisters out to the wilds of the golf course on a moonlit night. You and I, among many others no doubt, should consider the implications with a proper measure of gratitude.

Here's a link to Cathy2's older post on smelt fishing. Note the Canadian origins of the smelt being prepared.

I have the pleasure of being Hammond's foil for the show, and have been instructed as to my lines.....Amazing insight Mr. Hammond - Wow, truly insightful, Mr. Hammond - Yes, I agree 100% percent Mr. Hammond.

The discussion will center around Alternatives to Taste of Chicago.

See you at 11:06 tonight.

Enjoy,
Gary

Just caught the show from Connecticut. You two are just the balm for my homesickness!
Thanks. It was great to hear your voices and vicariously visit Burt's, Khan's and Honey 1.

You guys sounded great!

cito wrote:Regarding Hammond--- Does anyone have a link to a recording of his Jerry Agar appearance? Unfortunately, I was only able to catch the first 10 minutes of the segment.

Still waiting for my copy of the show; I'll see if I can find someone to host it and I'll post the link. Thanks for the interest.

The story sounded great, David! Thanks again for asking me to participate. All of us here at Lush enjoyed listening in. Very fascinating stuff--and that end bit featuring the drinking songs was certainly the liveliest I've ever heard the Oriental Institute!

Cheers!

David - sorry you were squeezed by the passing of the King of Pop, but what you were able to present was calm, warm, and articulate as always, and I liked your equanimity in calling out both the good aspects of the Taste and nearby bricks and mortar establishments instead of sending guests exclusively to one or the other. I would personally hope some Taste guests end up at Osaka on Michigan for what I consider to be the platinum standard fruit bubble tea in the city, as well as Mercat (were it open) and The Gage. You are also the only reason I would voluntarily listen to Mr. Agar for more than 30 seconds without driving into the lake, so bravo.

Thanks Matt -- I had a lot more to say but about one-third the time I thought I'd have. Might be back Sunday...

Will be shooting my mouth off again about Taste with Jerry Agar again on Sunday, 6/27, around 11AM on on WGN, 720AM,

Chatting with Henry James, counterman at Moon's, in the next 45 minutes or so, on WBEZ, 91.5FM. #1 Soundbite in a series of I'm not sure how many (talked to Kelly Cheng yesterday; talking to Grant Achatz this Friday, got others in pipe for Kahan and Poli).

justjoan, thanks for listening. It was a last minute program decision to include it today, and it got bumped, but I really appreciate your listening. Actually, I'm glad it was moved...gives me time today to track the theme song for the series.
