West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy is Now Open! 8am-9am PT/ 11am-Noon ET for our especially special Daily Specials; Blue Moon Spirits Friday!

Starting off in the Bistro Cafe, there has been a "dangerous" and significant shift by right-wing militia groups.

On the rest of the menu, a federal judge blocked Florida from enforcing a new state law that limits how private companies teach diversity and inclusion in the workplace; Utah officials secretly investigated a high school female athlete’s gender after some sore loser parents complained her margin of victory was too good; and, the FTC threatened to sue an Idaho-based adtech firm for revealing abortion clinic visits.

After the break, we move to the Chef’s Table where following Erdogan’s unorthodox economic views, Turkey’s central bank lowered its key interest rate, despite inflation surging to nearly 80%; and, an iconic lighthouse at the northern German port of Bremen has tilted sideways and could soon topple over entirely into the sea.

All that and more, on West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy with Chef de Cuisine Justice Putnam.

Bon Appétit!
