Big Event on 6/15!

On Friday night, June 15, 7:00 p.m., join me as Left Bank Books welcomes chef Adam Perry Lang to its downtown St. Louis location.

He’s the author of Charred and Scruffed, a new book that is a barbeque guidebook with new grilling techniques. It’s also a cookbook with recipes for side dishes, spackles, bastes and finishing salts.

I will be conducting a Q & A with Adam and will be looking for good audience participation.

The downtown location of Left Bank Books is at 321 North 10th Street, at Locust.

See you there!

Techical Difficulty

As a longtime broadcaster, I know that equipment fails and electrical power goes out. Still, whenever it happens it is frustrating. Happily, KFNS is back on the air and our show will be back on the air next Saturday.

Today (5/12/12) we continued with the online feed of the show via kfns.com. I had great chats with media personality Zip Rzeppa and Gerhard Wanninger (of G & W Sausage). Zip talked about dining at Al Baker’s and the old Tony’s (which was where the Edward Jones Dome is now). Gerhard talked about the tradition of offering customers a can of beer—always Busch Bavarian—while they wait to shop in his retail store on Parker, just off Kingshighway.

The segments with Zip and Gerhard can be heard by clicking the “Past Shows” tab at the top of this page. (We’ll offer our visits with Zip and Gerhard again over the air in a few weeks.)
