lWest 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, ‘hateful rhetoric transcends into hateful actions.’

Then, on the rest of the menu, the Washington, DC mayor and the city council are at odds over the new criminal code; the FEC dismissed the GOP complaint over Gmail’s spam filter; and, the World Economic Forum in Davos said Elon Musk was not on the guest list for the annual meeting, despite what the Head Twit claims.

After the break, we move to the Chef’s Table where Nobel laureate Maria Ressa has been acquitted of tax charges in the Philippines; and, the US Supreme Court struggles with criminal charges against Turkish-owned Halkbank, accused of helping to launder billions of dollars so Iran could evade US economic sanctions.





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.”
