So here we are, working our way towards episode 100 and I’m in Vegas (make that I’m in Vegas with Blue Steel) and can’t be there live for you this week. We do though have a classic Livecast episode for you to enjoy, so sit back and relax. But just a warning – if you have a low gag threshold, you may want to shut your eyes when the fish roe appears…it’s not pretty.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

It’s Monday and we’re back in the studio with the full crew intact. We started off tonight’s show with a few more stories of Sam’s grocery store escapades, moved into checking out some of the best hot dogs around the country, saw a small bear crawling through the vegetables at an Alaska grocery store, and finally closed out the Livecast with not one, but TWO delicious hot dogs from Sam (a Pastrami Dog and a Japa-dog). We’ll be back for some hump day livecastin’ on Wednesday, see you then!
Ep63 – Bacon Wrapped Scallops & Viewer Questions

Its our Friday (your Thursday) and things were back to normal in the Livecast world. Steve was gone for the night so we had Shannon (who shoots Sam’s TV show) fill in and she did a great job. After starting the show with a cocktail we dove right into some talk about the crew. We then took a whole bunch of viewer questions, saw a crazy dude on the internet eat a live scorpion, and finally closed with Sam’s bacon-wrapped scallops. We’re back on Monday with more fun so have a great weekend, cook something new, and tell your friends about the show! Later people.
Ep62 – The Chef Bitch Table

Tonight wasn’t quite a normal Livecast but it was still very entertaining and a lot of fun. We had Chef Paul McCabe of Kitchen 1540 and Chef Matt Gordon from Urban Solace in the house to tell us all the things they hate the most about owning and running a restaurant. It was some really cool conversation. After that Sam made an unbelievable grilled tofu that is probably something you haven’t seen before. You NEED to break out of the box and try it if for some reason you think that tofu is not for you. We’ve got another great show tomorrow night (back to normal) so tune in for some more Livecast madness.
Ep60 – Hot Female Chefs, Fernet & the Easiest Dessert

Well its our Friday (your Thursday) and even though we had to pre-record the show it was still a lot of fun. We started the show with a cocktail made by Fernet – a type of amaro, a bitter, aromatic spirit. After that we checked out Maxim’s list of the 5 “hottest” female chefs and talked about Rachel Ray making her audience pay for her magazines. Then we closed out the show with Sam’s delicious and easy ice cream sandwich dessert. We’re back next week with a lot more fun so be sure to check back in! We’ll also be doing some more themed shows, taken from your suggestions, so be sure to let us know what you’d like to see. Cya next week!
Ep59 – White Enchiladas and the “Super Cocinero”
Podcast (video-podcast): Play in new window | Download
Tonight we started off the show with Sam putting together his signature white (as opposed to red) enchiladas. We also had a guest blogger in the house, Marie from www.meanderingeats.com. After we sat down we took some suggestions for new themed shows (everything from garlic week to avocado week to Thai week), we discussed the proper etiquette for tipping and what you should do when faced with bad service. Then we saw what a flaming Mexican coffee is all about and then heard what Sam would do when in trouble with the Mexican drug cartels (huh???). We’re back tomorrow for our Friday (your Thursday) and another great show so we’ll see you then!
Ep58 – British Food Day!

‘Ello ‘ello! Tonight was British Food day at The Sam Livecast and man was it a lot of fun. We started the show with Sam making a Shepherd’s Pie, sipping on some Boddington’s pub ale straight from Great Britain and showing us his great (not really) British accent. After that we checked out some articles from the “Union Jack”, saw a few banned British commercials, saw the costumes that Sam used in his Halloween TV show, and introduced the new Sam Livecast Google+ hangout. We did the next installment of “Who eats this shit?” and then finally pulled the Shephaerd’s pie out of the oven and went to town. We’re back on Wednesday with another great show so we’ll see you then! Hope the start of your week is going well Livecast nation, peace out.
Ep56 – Cuba Libres, Sam’s Favorite Kitchen Tools & Fish Stick Tacos
Podcast (video-podcast): Play in new window | Download
Tonight’s show was our first Livecast in the rain! It was coming down hard here in San Diego but regardless we still brought you a great show. We started off at the top with Sam making a Cuba Libre, the national drink of Cuba which is essentially a rum and Coke with a bunch of lime. Once we sat down Sam went through his 10 favorite kitchen tools and showed us how and when to use them. After that we had some discussion about purple asparagus, other cool fruits/veggies from the grocery store, a 47 foot bratwurst, and our collective crew’s maturity (among other things). We finally closed the show with Sam’s deceptively delicious fish stick tacos (don’t knock them before you’ve tried them!) and the crew went wild. We’re back tomorrow night with another great show so we’ll cya then!
