#117 Trent Pierce - Roe

/

Trent Pierce talks about how his speakeasy style restaurant, Roe, sprung from his desire to maximize the space he had on Division, and to remake Fin.  Now he embarks on re-imagining and rebuilding Roe in new space, essentially Fin 3.0.  He also brought his guitar along to entertain us.

#116 Melissa McMillan - Pastrami Zombie & Sammich

/

Melissa McMillan started making "sammitch"es because she said she couldn't find anything in Ashland to satisfy her Chicago pastrami food sensibilities.   We talk about her roots and how her tree has blossomed now to include Sammich in Ashland, to her Pastrami Zombie food cart in Portland, and where she plans to go from here.  Plus, Chris makes a bet with Melissa about whose team will go further this year, his Mets or her Cubbies.

We had the chance to sit down and talk with Chris DiMinno as he prepared to open the much-anticipated Jackrabbit, the next chapter in his chef life.  We talk about what a large undertaking that is, how Chris Cosentino tapped him to be the chef, and how his passion for biking came about.  And how many bikes does he own?  Listen in.
