Always Eating with Lisa Allen The Mix Chicago | Hubbard Radio

Shinedown has been making rock music for over 20 years but now they're making hot sauce and stopped by so Lisa could try it. So brace yourself for the heat on several levels, the on-tour snacking stories AND find out who chews with their mouth open, whose wife can't cook and who turns into a gremlin searching for goodies after midnight. Prepare for deep thoughts, belly laughs and good times!

The talented Jason Alexander and Daniel Breaker took a time out from their show Judgement Day at Chicago Shakespeare Theatre to chat with Lisa about all things Chicago; the people, the accents and definitely the food! Little known fact about Lisa is that she can quote every single Seinfeld episode ever BUT yet again, gets distracted by food. Sit down and enjoy the hilarious conversation between these three and if you're in Chicago, you can see Jason Alexander and Daniel Breaker in Judgement Day at Chicago Shakespeare Theatre, in its newly extended run here in town!

What word has Lisa been mispronouncing her entire life? Oh, it's a good one but you'll have to listen to hear her attempt to say it correctly! Chicago’s hometown iconic deep-dish pizza brand, Giordano's, is celebrating its 50th anniversary with an ode to the city that put the brand on the map. Lisa sits down with Chef Jesse Harris to chat about the incredible accomplishment of their golden anniversary!

When did pro athletes become so charming?? Israel Idonijie is most well known for his time playing for the Chicago Bears but he's also involved in the Chicago restaurant community and recently opened an elevated sports bar in the South Loop of the city, not far from Soldier Field. Lisa talks to Israel about anything from menu items, staying in shape while surrounded by delicious food and exactly what's up with the naked pics in the bathrooms at his new restaurant? Enjoy!

Lisa Allen sits down with Chef Rick Bayless to discuss his cultural journey, his views from an upside place (you have to listen to get this part) and his everlasting desire to see and learn and do more than ever before!

Billy Dec is a celebrated restaurateur here in Chicago and nationwide with a new documentary film, Food Roots, hitting the film festival circuit and receiving rave reviews.
