  • Poor quality

    Like the podcast, but who ever or how ever they are uploading the show to iTunes is corrupting the file. Can’t fast forward, rewind, if you stop playback and start again it starts the episode over again. The most recent episode stops about 15 minutes into the show and then starts over from the beginning

Food Fathers Of Invention
Q: What inspired the shift from industrial to consumer use for pepper products?
Seeing early success with supplying restaurants and hot sauce makers demonstrated a potential consumer demand for home cooking opportunities, leading to a strategic pivot toward retail and home-use ingredients.
Food Fathers Of Invention
Q: How did the agitank change the way pepper mash was shipped and used?
It allowed the mash to be mixed back to a homogenous state during unloading, enabling efficient transport and processing in bulk, which opened the door to supplying pepper ingredients to hot sauce makers and other food producers.
Exporting Louisiana
Q: What are the regulatory challenges or safeguards in Louisiana for CBD/THC beverages?
Louisiana has specific rules for CBD products, a state health review process for labels, and ATC licensing; producers must register products and comply with on-premise serving rules to avoid gray areas, which helps legitimate on-site consumption.
Exporting Louisiana
Q: What is Louie Louie and how did it come to be?
Louie Louie is a lower-dose THC and CBD infused beverage designed for a balanced, sessionable high, developed by two hospitality pros in New Orleans who saw an opportunity in a regulated market and built a brand around local flavors and culture.
Grow Your Own Groceries
Q: How does salmonella factor into home egg care and what should people do at home?
Chickens can carry salmonella; it's relatively uncommon in any given egg, but a safe approach is to cook eggs fully for high-risk individuals and to handle eggs with clean coop practices. Fresh eggs don't need washing until just before use, preserving their natural protective coating.
