Bar Etoile & Metal Bubble Trio (Live)

We recorded this episode on Tuesday, January 7th at 12:30pm. A few hours later, Travis Hayden, chef of Bar Etoile, would lose his house to the Palisades Fire and my family would lose our house to the Eaton Canyon Fire. Our communities have been devastated, but also beyond supportive and full of so much love. We wanted to share the episode we had put together for the start of the year to have something normal and regular. On this episode of Snacky Tunes, Darin sits down with Julian, Jill, and Travis of Bar Etoile to chat about their recent opening and all of the amazing success from the jump. They talk about their journey to starting the restaurant, why they wanted to build a neighborhood spot, and which dish of theirs was named one of the best in LA. Then we hang out with Andrew Dost of Metal Bubble Trio, who talks about and plays tracks from his new album, Cucumber. We talk about his love for food, his creative process and how music & art has helped shape his life. If you are looking to feed the community who was effected by the LA fire, please donate to WCK.

A really excellent intertwining of the history of food with music, but also culture, how spaces and systems and the people who make them up change over time - really informative and just tons of delightful asides and nuggets of wisdom and weird facts. It’s weird and great and insightful - great guest gets too!
The list goes on!
