#15: Welcome To Richard's Famous LA Food Podcast

Richard takes his friend and fellow podcaster David Weinberg (from RFFP episode 6 “Natural Wineberg”) on a Hollywood food tour for breakfast, lunch, and dinner — with Chef Wolfgang Puck riding shotgun.

This episode is a crossover with David Weinberg's KCRW podcast Welcome To LA. It was edited by Nick White.
