We covered a lot of ground tonight for a Monday. Sam started off by getting some onions & green peppers cut up and cooking for the brats–hey, it’s Oktoberfest bitches!!! We talked about whether Pippa enhanced her butt in the dress she wore at her sisters wedding. Then we chatted about Hooters’ lawsuit against ‘Twin Peaks Restaurants’ for stealing “sensitive” business information. Believe it or not, Sam actually had a segment about ‘why he LIKES the Food Network’. And finally, he did a couple rounds of his Andy Rooney impressions honoring Andy’s last appearance on 60 Minutes

A special thanks to Maria Montana for stopping by and bringing the crew a lovely fig and apple crostada. She writes for San Diego Food Finds (www.sandiegofoodfinds.com).

Tonight was a lot of fun and a lot of nonsense–all-in-all a perfect show. We’re back Wednesday so we’ll see you then people.

Guess what? We’re the number #1 rated Food video podcast in iTunes! We owe it all to you you guys, the Livecast nation, so thank you all so much for your support. Tonight’s show was a lot of fun. We kicked off the top of the show with Sam throwing the Jambalaya ingredients into the rice cooker. We then followed with some videos that Sam took of people in the grocery store and discussed proper grocery store etiquette. After that we moved into the benefits of Kewpie Japanese mayo vs. regular mayo, dissected the Reebok commercial that claims they’ll give you a great butt, and finally closed the show with a look at some European street foods (and heard Sam’s accents of the countries they came from). Its our Friday (your Thursday) so we’ll be back next week with a ton more fun! Thanks so much to everybody for driving up the rankings and we’ll be sure to keep delivering the Livecasts that you guys have come to expect. Have a great weekend!

I feel like I can just stop there. The episode titles speak for themselves. But we had a blast in today’s livecast and we thank you, the fans, for tuning in. We have risen to the #3 food podcast out there and it is all because of you. In this episode, we talk with Art Bovino, our NYC blogger from www.thedailymeal.com and make an incredibly simple chicken tortilla soup out of common pantry ingredients. Fall’s here now and this is the perfect thing to put together on a cold day.

After a great weekend the Livecast crew is back (minus Sean the Mute)! We started off tonight’s show with some discussion about Bluefin Tuna, which Sam received fresh from his friend’s boat the night before. After we checked out a clip from Sam’s TV show (where he went out to the Bluefin Tuna “farms”), we talked a bit with guest San Diego food blogger Caron Golden (www.sandiegofoodstuff.com) and tasted the amazing homemade tortillas she brought to the studio. Oh, we also had a ridiculous “can you name this national anthem?” contest. After that Sam put together a deliciously fresh mango salsa, he seared some of the Bluefin tuna, and then used the tortillas to put together some unbelievable seared tuna tacos. We’re back on Wednesday with more fun so we’ll see you then!

Well it’s the end of egg week and WOW was it a good one! Sam opened up today’s show with a BLT cocktail (Bourbon, Lemon, Tonic) that was insanely delicious and refreshing. Then at the table we did some Guy Fieri mockery, read Alton Brown’s “Fanifesto” (an interesting essay detailing what AB considers basic fan etiquette) and learnt some fun facts about this week’s really important stuff: eggs. Sam cooks an amazing crab and avocado eggs benedict with some egg poaching devices called “poach pods” and instant hollandaise sauce. The dish was simply amazing and after a small dusting of Old Bay Seasoning it was the perfect end to an awesome week of eggs. Remember, it was YOU the fans that suggested it and we are always open to your input. Let us know what you want next! Have a great weekend people and we’ll see you Monday for more fun.
