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, "If January 6 is such a nothingburger, as Republicans and propaganda outlets like Fox News would have us believe, then why are they going to such extraordinary lengths to hide the committee proceedings?"

On the rest of the menu, Joshua Tree National Park has temporarily closed a popular hiking trail so bighorn sheep can get undisturbed access to water; the Department of Homeland Security issued a bulletin warning of heightened right wing extremist threats heading into the midterms; and, the latest Crypto meltdown is wake-up call for many, including Congress.

After the break, we move to the Chef’s Table where lawyers for asylum seekers say US officials drastically slowed family reunifications during the Trump administration; and, Dutch prosecutors demanded life sentences for two men in the brazen gangland slaying last year of investigative reporter, Peter R de Vries.

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.”
