IACP Award-winning author Andrew Friedman has written and collaborated with nearly every top chef you can name. His latest book, Chefs, Drugs and Rock & Roll, looks into Chez Panisse and other Bay Area restaurants in the 1970s and '80s and how politics and pop culture influenced the kitchen. He and host Richard Martin debate the odds of a Mario Batali comeback. Then comedian Jes Tom shares a story about their first experience with spice.
