Week in Review
Science, A Decade of Cheese, and Morning Mezcal
On this fresh as fire episode of Week in Review, Jack and Erin hook you up with HRN’s best content from the week! Harold McGee, Japanese buckwheat tea, Saxelby Cheesemonger’s humble beginnings, and mezcal before noon. You really couldn’t ask for more right now.
Last Great Bite
Every episode of Week In Review opens with a recap of the last great thing Jack and Erin ate, and how you can try it too.
JACK: A really really really awesome restaurant, Maketto, in DC. Taiwanese fried oyster. Spicy laab over bone marrow. And sneakers.
ERIN: Shout out to her spirit vegetable, asparagus! A major reminder of the incoming growing season here in the Northeast.
