Hot Pastrami with Alex Canter and Lily Rosenthal Cloud10 and Clamor

Join us on a delectable journey as we chat with the multifaceted actor, comedian, podcaster, and author, Josh Peck, whose roots in showbiz and passion for food mirror our own love for culinary tradition. We get the chance to discuss the cultural significance of Jewish delis and the poignant shift in the deli landscape across America, not just Fairfax. We also discuss sushi favorites, fine dining frustrations, and the best late-night snack options as we navigate the landscape of LA's food scene. Finally, in a nod to entrepreneurial dreams and creating our own traditions, we imagine the perfect fusion of wood-fired pizzas and Montreal-style bagels.
