West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy is Now Open! 8am-9am PT/ 11am-Noon ET for our especially special Daily Specials, Smothered Benedict Wednesdays!

Starting off in the Bistro Cafe, even if he is elected, “Kevin McCarthy will be the weakest Speaker we’ve ever seen.”Then, on the rest of the menu, US News & World Report will change how its rankings of law schools are calculated after a boycott by a number of top programs; California cops searched Black teenagers at nearly six times the rate of white teens; and, a rural state judge continued to block a provision of Oregon’s voter-approved gun law requiring a background check to close the so-called Charleston Loophole.

After the break, we move to the Chef’s Table where a journalist in northern Mexico escaped unharmed in the first reported attempt on a reporter’s life in the country in the new year; and, the US is reopening visa and consular services at its embassy in Cuba.

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

Bon Appétit!

"To those of us who believe that all of life is sacred every crumb of bread and sip of wine is a Eucharist, a remembrance, a call to awareness of holiness right where we are. I want all of the holiness of the Eucharist to spill out beyond church walls, out of the hands of priests and into the regular streets and sidewalks, into the hands of regular, grubby people like you and me, onto our tables, in our kitchens and dining rooms and backyards.”
