Bon Appétit Foodcast

On today's episode, our resident beer nerds, assistant web editor Alex Delany and test kitchen manager Brad Leone, try to convince our cheap-beer-loving editor in chief that craft beers are, in fact, awesome. Later, we talk all things cold brew with Jon Feldman of Stumptown Coffee Roasters and associate editor Amiel Stanek. The thirst is real.

Julia Turshen is the woman people like Mario Batali and Gwyneth Paltrow call up to co-write their cookbooks. She’s finally releasing one of her own, Small Victories (out Sept. 6), full of recipes and tips for everyday kitchen feats. On this week’s episode, Turshen talks drinking with Batali, branching out on her own, and the magic of raspberry jam buns.

There was once a time when "California wine" only meant steakhouse cabs and oaky Chardonnays (ugh). Thankfully, a new generation of winemakers is making local wines that are lighter, brighter, and dangerously drinkable. This week, wine columnist Marissa A. Ross goes deep on the West Coast wines you should be drinking right now.

Every year, editors Andrew Knowlton and Julia Kramer scour the country and eat themselves silly searching for the Hot 10: the best new restaurants in America.

Welcome to the best new restaurants in America!

Actor, writer, director, and all-around funny guy Seth Rogen stopped by the podcast studio to talk about "Sausage Party," the animated film about sentient foods that just so happens to be an apt analogy for human existence. He also tells us who he would save in the face of an alien invasion: Jonah Hill or James Franco? Then later, we head down to the BA Test Kitchen to see what our in-house preserving nerds Amiel Stanek and Brad Leone are curing, pickling, and fermenting this week.

Brett Martin, correspondent for GQ magazine and diehard Brooklynite, traded NYC for New Orleans and found himself in the land of poboys, muffulettas, and all manners of deep-fried, delicious, crispy things. On today's show, Martin talks to editor-in-chief Adam Rapoport about his favorite food haunts in the city of jazz.

Tyler Kord is the man we call up whenever we seek advice about the stuff that goes between two slices of bread. In today's episode, the author of "A Super Upsetting Book About Sandwiches" and chef-owner of No. 7 Restaurant and No. 7 Sub shops talks about his crazy little idea to open a sandwich shop in the most expensive city in the country.

Mashama Bailey moved from New York to Savannah, GA, to open The Grey, and finds out that running a restaurant in the South is not the same as working in Manhattan. Back in New York, our test kitchen editors prepared for the heat wave with all you need to know about ice cream cakes and fruit pops.

Michael Solomonov makes hummus so transcendently good it will make you wonder how it can possibly share a name with the stuff you eat out of the plastic tub with baby carrots when there's no food in the house. On today's episode, the Dizengoff chef and his business partner Steve Cook go deep on Israeli cuisine—with a side of cheesesteaks (they're Philly boys, after all).

Jessica Koslow set out to make jam, and accidentally ended up opening the hippest café in Los Angeles along the way. The chef and soon-to-be cookbook author talks about turning her passion into a business. Later, we talk about summer drinking and rosé fatigue (it's a thing!) with wine columnist Marissa A. Ross.

On this very all-American episode of the Bon Appétit foodcast, we're talking about all the things you should be eating on America's birthday: BBQ, burgers, and hot dogs!

The orange-Croc-loving chef talks about cooking at home, the best food in New Orleans, and making fettuccine alfredo for James Gandolfini.

Today's episode is a double-hitter! First up is a man whose passion for sports is only rivaled by his love of food: It's Joe House of The Bill Simmons Podcast. Then later, we round up a few parent staffers to talk about what we're feeding our kids this summer in-between all the ice cream cones.

The host of "Bizarre Foods" talks eyeballs versus testicles, smuggling foods from his travels, and partying with Prince.

Stephanie Danler's debut novel, Sweetbitter, is the coming-of-age story of a young New York transplant who lands a job at one of the city's top restaurants. Danler talks with editor-at-large Christine Muhlke about her real-life experiences as a waitress in NYC.
