We wouldn’t usually post a "pledge drive" show to our archive but the folks who joined in our efforts to support KRCB and the good work of NPR are such wonderful and valuable members of our community that it just felt like something we should share. 
Rogelio Garcia is the star chef, and Executive Chef of the two restaurants at Calistoga’s Four Seasons Resort and Residences Napa Valley. One is an all day, indoor/outdoor sparkling perch called Truss. The other, sporting a Michelin Star, is called Auro.
Two great story tellers are welcomed to Savoring Sonoma in this week’s episode. First it’s long time Press Democrat Columnist Chris Smith, talking about everything from multigenerational farm families to chatting up an emerging local food star called Guy Fieri long before the world knew his name.
Then it’s a long distance chat with a master chronicler who travels the world in search of the very best bites, folks and cultures. It’s Phil Rosenthal, now in his 7th season of Somebody Feed Phil on Netflix. Host Clark Wolf will have the pleasure of moderating an appearance with the food phemom on the stage of the Luther Burbank Center for the Arts on June 6th. Join us for this preview and some charming, heartwarming chat.
It’s hard to fathom that this effort to develop and establish Food Studies programs, and therefore an all new academic discipline, happened way back in 1996.
Since that time some form of this good work has emerged all across the country. Some of the extraordinary people who pioneered and lead this good work have gathered their own writings and that of other smart folks and have produced a wonderful, important book, “Practicing Food Studies.”
Today, you’ll hear directly from these educators and editors of the book: Amy Bentley, Fabio Parasecoli, and Krishnendu Ray, and, of course, from the powerhouse who made it all possible, Marion Nestle. Marion wrote the forward for the book.
