It's time to get WASTED! Well, not quite. Today we have a special two-part interview with Nari Kye and Anna Chai, the directors of WASTED!, the documentary film about food waste (available now on iTunes). The pair talk about their experiences directing the film and discuss the food waste epidemic in part one of this two-part interview. In other news, hosts Richard Martin and Krista Ruane chat about Houston's eventful year (with a cameo by Chris Shepherd) and chef Amanda Cohen's snarky and pointed piece on Esquire's website. We wrap up with chef Esther Choi of Mokbar fame recalling the moment she knew she wanted to become a chef.
