EPISODE SUMMARY

A SHOW SO BIG IT IS CLOSE TO 3 HOURS LONG WITH SOME THE BIGGEST NAMES IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY!!!! D and L Coffee Service Inc. presents Small Bites Radio the #1 listed “Food Radio show Philadelphia” and #1 listed “Food Radio show South Jersey”. Stay tuned for the link of our newest episode with a fantastic lineup! #SmallBitesRadio has been named #14 out of the Top 30 Best Hospitality Shows on the planet for 2020-2023, #23 Top Philadelphia Lifestyle Influencer in 2021-2023, 25 Best Philly Food Blogs and Websites in 2023, and nominated by Metro Philly Newspaper as 2023’s Best of Philly Arts & Entertainment.

We are thrilled to chat with Kayla Cappiello the self-professed allergy queen. Kayla has celiac disease, a lactose intolerance, and a nut allergy, and she shares her flavorful and inventive recipes on her popular blog and Instagram (where she has over 50K followers!). She’ll talk about her new cookbook ‘Easy Allergy-Free Cooking: Simple & Safe Everyday Recipes for Everyone’ published by Skyhorse Publishing, Inc.. Kayla’s recipes focus on resourceful ingredient substitutes to satisfy any dietary need so you never have to miss out on your favorite comfort meals while still providing new and innovative recipes to keep things fresh. She includes inventive rice bowls, artisanal cauliflower pizzas, out-of-the-box baked pastas, and one-pan easy weeknight casseroles, while still keeping allergies and healthiness in mind.

Can’t wait to welcome back Chef Philip Manganaro of Park Place Café & Restaurant in Borough of Merchantville, NJ. He’s nominated for the 2023 Restaurant and Chef Awards semifinalists for the James Beard Foundation Awards presented by Capital One in the category of Best Chef: Mid-Atlantic (DC, DE, MD, NJ, PA, VA) where the winners will be announced at the Lyric Opera of Chicago during the James Beard Restaurant and Chef Awards Ceremony on Monday, June 5. He also has a very entertaining documentary called ‘The King of Matsutaki Ridge’ being released soon about himself, his cooking, and the amazing wild foraging of ingredients that he does on his own to create the signature dishes that Chef Philip is world renowned for.

Talking more about wild foraging ingredients we are looking forward to seeing what is going on with Chef Viet Pham, owner of highly successful restaurant Pretty Bird and starring in Hulu ‘Chef Vs Wild’. Chef Viet Pham is also known for Food & Wines Best New Chef, 3x James Beard Foundation Award Semifinalist, and many appearances on many Food Network shows. One of the most popular and successful restaurants in Visit Salt Lake, Pretty Bird Hot Chicken brings Nashville hot chicken to Salt Lake City, offering a stripped-down menu listing just chicken nuggets, tenders and their famous fried chicken sandwich, either one served mild, medium, hot, or “hot ‘behind’.” Their most popular item, the Fried Chicken Sando, features a boneless, skinless chicken thigh fried to crispy perfection and placed on a buttery-sweet bun, finished with cider slaw, pickles and Pretty Bird sauce. Sides include crinkle cut fries, Mexican street corn salad, and cider slaw. They currently have four locations and are working on opening additional restaurants across the US.

Then from Italy to New Jersey we will talk to Giovanni Quattrone the CEO of Paolo Rovagnati US Black Label Line of gourmet cold cut meats by Italian brand Rovagnati. This delicious new line has recently officially launched in New Jersey. This product line brings the finest Italian cold cuts to the US: a celebration of Italian technical know how and the competence in selecting and processing raw materials with a distinctive luxury pack and a clear and creative explanation of how to consume the product to taste it to the best (preferably consumed stand-alone or in “charcuterie boards“). PRODUCED IN ITALY, SLICED IN THE U.S.A.

Another immigrant story brings Stacey Mei Yan Fong to discuss her project and new cookbook ’50 Pies 50 States: An Immigrant’s Love Letter to the United States Through Pie’ published by Voracious Hachette Book Group that can be PRE-ORDERED now and being released on June 13, 2023. Stacey Mei Yan Fong is a home baker living in Brooklyn, NY. She was born in Singapore, lived in Indonesia, grew up in Hong Kong, and moved to the States to pursue a degree from the SCAD – The University for Creative Careers. She spent a decade designing in the fashion industry, and during that time she launched her “50 Pies 50 States” project which led to her slinging pies at Four & Twenty Blackbirds. Now, her pies have been featured by CBS Sunday Morning, NPR, Eater and beyond. Every pie is an opportunity to celebrate–or defend your home state’s honor. With this cookbook, bake your way through and you’ll taste the full range of flavors that America has to offer. With recipes organized like the all-American road trip we’ve all wanted to complete, this book is a journey through the wonders of pie for bakers of all skill levels–and the story of one extraordinary woman who chose to make this place her home.

Warm weather is here again so perfect person to talk to is Josh Hunt is the creator of Josh Hunt Griddlin, an online resource dedicated to sharing recipes and instructional cooking videos. A leader in the griddling and grilling sphere, Josh has partnered with brands like Blackstone, Meat Church BBQ, Traeger Grills and The Burger Smasher. He also won the first ever Golden Spatula Award in Blackstone’s Great Griddle Off contest. He recently released a cookbook called ‘Blackstone Griddling: The Ultimate Guide to Show-Stopping Recipes on Your Outdoor Gas Griddle’ published by Page Street Publishing Co.. Thanks to this all-encompassing guidebook from griddling pro Josh Hunt, you’ll confidently commandeer your Blackstone in no time. Though it might be tempting to serve juicy Jalapeño & Onion Triple Smash Burgers on a weekly (or daily!) basis, you don’t have to limit yourself to beef— make mouthwatering breakfasts, pizzas, tacos, noodle dishes and even desserts on your griddle in addition to all your favorite grill classics. Start your morning with a stack of Blackstone Buttermilk Pancakes, whip up Griddled Shrimp Pad Thai with ease or wow even the toughest food critic with Josh’s bold recipe for Bananas Foster French Toast Grilled Cheese. Armed with this expert guide, your Blackstone will quickly become your go-to cooking tool for every awe-worthy meal of the day.

In My Vermont Table, Bullock-Prado takes readers on a sweet and savory journey through each of these special seasons.

Oh Canada, we’ll have on the program Chef Dale Mackay. Touring the world as Gordon Ramsay’s right-hand at his Michelin-starred restaurants, the first Top Chef Canada winner and AAA Five Diamond Award winning Chef Dale MacKay is gearing up for a huge 2023 as he competes in the new season of Bravo’s Top Chef: World All-Stars. Padma Lakshmi, Tom Colicchio, and Gail Simmons are back hosting Season 20 of the Emmy, James Beard Foundation and Critics’ Choice Award-winning series which features 16 winners and finalists from 11 different Top Chef versions around the world competing for the ultimate World All-Stars title. This time the chefs will return to the kitchen to battle it out throughout London before moving on to the grand finale in Paris. This epic showdown marks the first time the flagship edition of Top Chef has gone abroad for an entire season. Originally from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, MacKay’s culinary career began as a fry cook in Vancouver, B.C. He then moved to London, England, where he began working at Gordon Ramsay’s Claridge’s, followed by stints in other Michelin-starred Ramsay restaurants in London, Tokyo, and New York City. He eventually returned to Vancouver to become the executive chef at Chef Daniel Boulud’s Lumière restaurant, where the restaurant was awarded the AAA Five Diamond Award under his direction.

A Generous Meal is a modern cookbook of over 100 recipes that anyone—from a novice to an experienced chef like Christine—can use to whip up restaurant-quality meals with ease.

This restaurant is flat out great, wonderful, fantastic, awesome, etc. Whatever word you want to describe them would be correct if the theme of the thought is a place you must eat at. I had a really nice experience and dining here in person is a highlight. From the robot server, hot pot flame on the table, to ordering completely on your phone is part of the charm. Everything was VERY delicious and would order the same thing again over and over. I had fried pork dumplings, fish fillet in a hot and spicy pot, shredded pork with garlic sauce, and salted spicy pork. Highly recommend a visit here!

PJ’s is well known as being the provider of wings to the infamous Philadelphia event Wing Bowl. Well not only are the wings great, but they provide a clean, modern, hip, and family friendly atmosphere sports themed restaurant with a view of any game on television no matter what direction you look as well as top-notch friendly and quick service. The name of the game is wings here, but they do offer many other items too. I had their signature hot and honey wings which are fantastic, french onion soup, pretzel nuggets with beer cheese, and a french dip sandwich with a side of PJ’s Famous Fries. I enjoyed my visit and will certainly return to one of their many locations to watch a sporting event or game again with the family.
