On this episode of Week in Review, Jack and Erin cover yet another full week of HRN content -- a fiery Trans-Pacific Partnership debate, how to appreciate raw milk cheese, and why Jose Andres is not a clown. “The Breakdown” is straight out of a converted VW Bus in Miami where Jack talks fried chicken and food dreams with two of our favorite chefs.

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: So lucky to sneak into Totto Ramen West for some spicy miso ramen at 11:58 last night after a show at Terminal 5. Also shoutout to the dim sum at Sarsparilla Club in Miami!

ERIN: “Great might be an overstatement, but the most interesting”: Impossible Burger at Chef’s Collaborative Summit last weekend. It is an experimental vegetarian burger made from an extracted protein that uses yeast to mimic hemoglobin, creating a red burger. The flavor, texture, and appearance mimic meat with dubious results.

Jack spoke with Jeff McInnis and Janine Booth, of Root & Bone and Sarsparilla Club, in Miami last weekend in their corporate offices -- a refurbished 1970 VW bus.

JACK: Erin for pushing through this episode while under the weather -- the radio version of Michael Jordan scoring 38 points with the flu.

ERIN: Sunday, April 24th, we will be down at Grand Army Bar from 5-8 pm for a HRN cocktail party fundraiser. Also big ups to Ted Nelson of Gumbo Marketing for putting together the event at Root & Bone!
