You're listening to kfi EM six 2 00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:06.799 forty the four Report on demand on the iHeartRadio app. 3 00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:10.519 We're talking with people affected by the fires in January, 4 00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:15.240 not just ones that lost their homes that we are 5 00:00:15.279 --> 00:00:18.359 praying for, but because it's a food show, to those 6 00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:23.280 that either lost businesses or are finding didn't lose the structure, 7 00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:26.600 but are finding it hard to stay afloat when everybody's 8 00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:30.079 scattered everywhere because they can't be at home. Right now, 9 00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:34.119 we're talking with Teddy Seraphine Leonard. She's the owner of 10 00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:36.960 real In. You must know it there in Malibu, seeing 11 00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:40.960 it as you drive the coast, which we are blessed 12 00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:44.240 and incredibly lucky to have here in Southern California. It's 13 00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:46.759 the only thing worth the Texas, let's be honest, and 14 00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:48.880 I wanted her to talk a little bit more about 15 00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:51.640 the real In because this is and has been an 16 00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:56.079 important part of the food scene and the comfort that 17 00:00:56.119 --> 00:01:00.759 food brings to Southern California. Keep mind, you can find 18 00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:05.280 out more at reel in Malibu r e E l 19 00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:09.120 in Malibu dot com. There's a link there for a 20 00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:13.120 GoFundMe page that goes directly to the workers that have 21 00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:15.439 been working there for a long time. You said some 22 00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:17.519 like thirty years. 23 00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:20.599 Yes. In fact, two of the employees were there when 24 00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:23.760 my husband bought the restaurant thirty seven years ago. 25 00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:24.480 Wow. 26 00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:27.359 And so they've been there longer than he has. And 27 00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:31.879 they're all sort of she's married to each other, and 28 00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:34.799 it's just it's kind of a unique story and that 29 00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:35.799 it is family. 30 00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:38.560 So you were telling one of the things that stood 31 00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:42.680 out that was very sweet to me, Teddy. You were 32 00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:47.040 talking about how, you know, the famous, the rich, we're 33 00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:51.480 standing next to surfers and you know, politicians and whatever, 34 00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:55.879 and food is the equalizer in that. I love that. 35 00:01:56.120 --> 00:01:59.040 You know, it's not a fancy place, but equalized everyone. 36 00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:02.079 Oh, it really did. And it was funny because we 37 00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:04.879 would also get people that were going to you know, 38 00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:08.000 large galas and Malibu and they'd say, oh, we're stopping 39 00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:10.520 here to eat first because they just you know, have 40 00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:14.000 these little finger things at the gatherings and we want 41 00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:16.280 we want a plate full of food, and our crew 42 00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:19.240 we would have to kind of say, guys, you don't 43 00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:23.319 want to keep throwing food away. They would overheat people's 44 00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:27.120 plates like they were at their own home in Mohaka. 45 00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:31.639 You know, we tried everything this now like okay, two 46 00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:34.120 scoops of that and two scoops of that with this 47 00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:37.000 particular spoof. None of it worked. They just did it 48 00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:39.240 like it was their mother trying to fatten them up. 49 00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:44.120 And it was hilarious. Yeah, we couldn't. That was one thing. 50 00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:48.360 And just they everything was fresh, Everything was made on 51 00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:52.879 site every day. The fish was delivered fresh every single day, 52 00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:55.960 the same fish venders that were delivering the Maestro's and 53 00:02:56.039 --> 00:03:00.400 Thenobu and the other restaurants, same fish, not the same 54 00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:02.960 price when we some of it, but we didn't have 55 00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:06.199 table claws or waiters or any of that. But we 56 00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:09.840 had really good fresh fish. And they made up the 57 00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:13.680 chipotle sauce. They made up the sauce, They made up 58 00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:15.599 all the spices for the Cajun and they did that. 59 00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:17.599 We were laughing, and I said, I'd love to get 60 00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:20.800 the recipes. We talked about doing a cookbook and putting 61 00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:23.080 the recipes and raise more money for the crew, and 62 00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:28.280 you know, they would grab handfuls of spices and you 63 00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:31.159 can't really quantify that. So I was trying to find them. 64 00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:34.000 If we do a cookbook, we need to have actual 65 00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:38.280 measurements on what you put in, and that's not how 66 00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:41.280 I mean. It was all very It was very much, 67 00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:44.479 like I said, a mom and pop place. People knew us, 68 00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:48.879 they knew our crew, our crew knew them, and everybody 69 00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:51.560 felt like they owned it. You know. That was one 70 00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:53.919 thing my husband loved. It's a culture he set up. 71 00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:58.039 This belongs to the community. And you know, people would 72 00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:00.159 walk in and decide with their group, Oh, we we're 73 00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:02.120 going to move these tables over here and move those 74 00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:05.759 chairs over there, and you know, they would do whatever 75 00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:08.080 they wanted to do. They'd bring their dogs out on 76 00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:12.759 the patio on the weekends and it was just it 77 00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:15.159 was lovely to have that kind of culture and that 78 00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:18.000 kind of gathering place for the community. And I hope 79 00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:20.920 even if we don't do it, I hope someone else does. 80 00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:24.920 But our crew has all come back to us and said, look, 81 00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:27.519 we're going to you know, I said, I want you 82 00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:29.720 guys to get jobs because we don't know how long 83 00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:32.000 this is going to take and I don't know how 84 00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:35.560 much more I can raise on the GoFundMe, and we've 85 00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:37.959 got to wait to see because our income obviously stopped 86 00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:42.199 when the restaurant shut down, and but they worked for 87 00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:43.600 some of them. A couple of them. We have them 88 00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:50.160 coming up and doing yard work for us. Yeah yeah, yeah, 89 00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:52.839 and paying and being able to pay them. All of 90 00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:57.199 our crew was legal. Over the years, we had helped 91 00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:02.399 them get their green cards and they're SI listenship. But 92 00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:06.560 still they're concerned with what's happening, and I'm concerned for 93 00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:08.839 people with what's happening right now. 94 00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:11.680 Yeah, we're hearing a lot of that obviously, and that's 95 00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:15.720 been something that has been throughout the food industry for 96 00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:19.199 a long time. And as I said earlier on the show, 97 00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:21.800 if there's people you don't want here because they're bad, 98 00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:24.319 then there should be people that you do want here 99 00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:29.399 because they're good. And you know, being able to decide 100 00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:32.399 and have a system is the best way and the 101 00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:38.839 reasonable way. Just one more moment here, Heaven forbid. But 102 00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:41.160 you guys deserve your time too. You put in a 103 00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:43.519 lot of love, so you deserve your time too and 104 00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:46.480 are allowed for that. And hopefully someone takes that legacy 105 00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:51.680 with your guidance. What do you want people to remember 106 00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:54.920 or think? What do you I know? We right now 107 00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:57.920 go to really in Malibu dot Com. Click the link 108 00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:01.639 for the GoFundMe to help pay or the workers. It's 109 00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:03.240 not going to you and your husband, it's going to 110 00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:05.439 your workers. But what do you want them to think 111 00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:08.439 about when they think about that neon sign of the 112 00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:12.560 you know, the fish jumping on something that we've seen 113 00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:15.279 in Malibu forever? What do you want them to remember 114 00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:17.240 and think about. 115 00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:21.759 The spirit of Malibu, the community of Malibu, and to 116 00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:25.680 Panga and the palisades that if you go to I 117 00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:30.439 hopefully still on our Instagram or our website. Many many 118 00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:33.480 people came forward with so many stories that I'd say 119 00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:37.360 the first two days, three actually two weeks after it 120 00:06:37.399 --> 00:06:40.000 burned down, I found myself I could only read two 121 00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:42.920 a day because I would just start crying. I was 122 00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:46.879 so moved by what other people felt they had lost. 123 00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:48.759 I mean, I know what my husband and I lost, 124 00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:53.399 but it was more impactful to us that all these 125 00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:58.759 other the community loss. It was a community loss. And yeah, 126 00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:02.319 so if we get to rebuild, We're hoping our son, Jack, 127 00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:06.079 my step son, my husband's son, Jack is in the 128 00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:08.759 food industry. We're trying to convince him to come down 129 00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:11.839 and maybe you know, take the lead on this because 130 00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:16.920 he does manage restaurants in Seattle. But not sure, not sure. 131 00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:18.720 I mean, I don't know what's happening. And I feel 132 00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:21.199 very badly for the restaurants in Malibu. And if people 133 00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:24.199 your listeners get a chance somehow they get to Malibou 134 00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:26.360 where they take the one on one to Malibu Canyon 135 00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:30.399 and go over, there are wonderful restaurants that really need 136 00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:33.240 your patronage right now that are going through such a 137 00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:36.160 hard time. Their businesses are down by like eighty percent 138 00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:40.279 from last year, and ours burned down in a weird way. 139 00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:44.079 We were blessed because we had insurance and you know, 140 00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:46.959 otherwise we would be going through our savings like we 141 00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:50.480 did during COVID. And I think that's something that if 142 00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:53.399 people go to the beach, it's lovely. You know, maybe 143 00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:56.120 not in the water, but look at it. 144 00:07:57.279 --> 00:07:59.639 Look at it, take pictures. Don't step in it. 145 00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:02.959 Yeah, you know, I'm not The reports are great, but 146 00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:05.399 you know there's some lovely places like oh see that. 147 00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:10.079 Just these these restaurants really they need they need us 148 00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:13.000 right now. It'd be nice to see people go out 149 00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:14.240 and patronize them. 150 00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:17.120 Well, it is my job to ring that bell every Saturday, 151 00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:20.079 and I'll continue to do it, my friend.

We've all 189 00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:32.159 seen that stuff, telling stories about Beckham going in there 190 00:10:32.279 --> 00:10:35.960 and just I mean and how it was an equalizer. 191 00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:38.120 You know, everybody who came in was the same. They 192 00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:41.039 didn't care if you were famous or not, and how 193 00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:45.519 you were getting the same cut, the same fish quality 194 00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:49.960 from the same people as high end white clothed linen 195 00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:53.440 cloth tables were getting and you weren't paying those prices 196 00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:57.519 for it. That's often the way it goes. It's often 197 00:10:57.559 --> 00:10:59.720 the way it goes. There are so many the more 198 00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:04.840 hands involved, the more things involved, is the costlier gets 199 00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:09.799 very inspired about those things. Also, Bill Handle got his 200 00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:13.799 big green egg today and he has been wanting it. 201 00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:16.679 His new wife, Lindsay, has said that he has not 202 00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:20.720 shut up about it for months because he was so excited. 203 00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:23.879 And then I hosted Handle at my house one day 204 00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:26.519 for lunch. I said, come over, I showed him mine, 205 00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:29.240 I cooked lunch for him, and the two of us 206 00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:33.159 just sat out on my front porch, eating and talking 207 00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:35.320 about food and the techniques you can do with the 208 00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:38.200 big green egg and all of that. So he's excited. 209 00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:40.360 He decided that's what he wanted at his new place 210 00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:44.240 in Orange County, and so she sent me pictures of 211 00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:49.759 it and that he's super excited. And it's just one 212 00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:53.679 of those interesting days where food and philosophy and what 213 00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:56.960 it means to us and why food is so powerful 214 00:11:57.000 --> 00:12:00.000 in our lives, those flavors and textures that put us 215 00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:03.279 mile on our face. The love that is created. You know, 216 00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:06.720 when somebody makes you food that makes it tastes better 217 00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:09.799 than if you were doing it yourself. So we still 218 00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:11.720 have more to come, and then we'll talk with Tiffany. 219 00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:15.799 Of course, Tiffany's coming aboard at five o'clock, so go 220 00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:18.159 know where. We'll be back with Martha. 221 00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:21.320 You're listening to the Fork Report with Nil Sevedra on 222 00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:23.879 demand from KFI Am six forty. 223 00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:27.840 How you doing today is? It started with rain. My 224 00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:30.600 wife came in, I slept in a little later. I 225 00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:32.440 think I got up at nine this morning, so I 226 00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:36.799 was like, I think I went to bet at midnight though. 227 00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:40.120 It's one of those nights where my curious little artistic 228 00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:43.039 brain was going all over the place looking things up, 229 00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:46.720 materials to build with and all kinds of things. By 230 00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:48.480 the way, I would love for you to hang out 231 00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:53.039 with us on social media at fork Reporter on Instagram 232 00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:54.720 at fork Reporter. We have a good time there. I 233 00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:57.919 put up memes trying to think bring people joy through there. 234 00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:00.399 Put up a picture of my wife and me on 235 00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:04.879 our wedding day. I love that lady. A bust of chops, 236 00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:09.879 but I love that lady, and she treats me like 237 00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:12.799 gold and I hope she gets the same treatment in return. 238 00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:16.279 But we just had our seventeenth anniversary, so I put 239 00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:20.919 that up. And otherwise it's funny goofy stuff up there, 240 00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:24.480 always having a good time. And then if you're artistically 241 00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:26.519 inclined or you like art or building, if you're a 242 00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:30.360 maker or a creator or anything like that, my newest 243 00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:36.679 one is savco Industries saa v COO industries on Instagram, 244 00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:40.279 and that's just things I do at my shop, and 245 00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:43.440 I have a small business where I do promotional light 246 00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:46.279 and some light fabrications, some props and stuff like that. 247 00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:49.600 But it's not really I know it's not it's not 248 00:13:49.679 --> 00:13:51.600 open to the public currently or I don't sell the 249 00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:53.919 public or anything like that. But I ended up using 250 00:13:53.960 --> 00:13:56.399 that name because I already had it. So I'm not 251 00:13:56.440 --> 00:13:58.840 selling anything on there at least not at this point. 252 00:13:59.679 --> 00:14:03.200 I talk to friends about doing opening up to some things, 253 00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:05.720 but right now it's just like, hey, look I made 254 00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:07.759 this for my son, or I'm doing this or working 255 00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:09.759 on a project, and I'd love for you to check 256 00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:14.639 that out if you have time as well at savcosaa 257 00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:19.720 vco industries dot com. And I like, you know, star 258 00:14:19.759 --> 00:14:24.399 wars and building things. I like Halloween and decorating for 259 00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:27.600 the holidays and all kinds of stuff. So you want 260 00:14:27.639 --> 00:14:28.799 to do that or you just want to see that 261 00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:31.759 different side of what I do when it's not involved 262 00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:34.559 with food or the show. Check that out, all right, 263 00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:39.000 Texas wants to ban well, there's a Texas bill rather 264 00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:41.360 that wants to rename the New York strips at Steak 265 00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:46.240 to Texas strip. I know, we're still dealing with Gulf 266 00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:49.240 of America and all that stuff. So this is an 267 00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:54.120 interesting one because ultimately it's like anything else, it's rare, 268 00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:57.919 but there are still new cuts of meat that are 269 00:14:57.960 --> 00:15:02.039 come across, you know, the animal fabricated and to the 270 00:15:02.039 --> 00:15:04.399 best of the ability to use every single part of 271 00:15:04.440 --> 00:15:05.840 the animal. That's the way to do it. 272 00:15:06.559 --> 00:15:06.759 You know. 273 00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:11.320 I have this conversation with my son last night. We 274 00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:16.000 were at BJ's. I know, fancy right for our seventeenth anniversary, 275 00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:19.759 but we want to do something as family and we 276 00:15:19.840 --> 00:15:23.720 like Bjay's and it's a fun atmosphere. So we went 277 00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:26.679 out there in Glendale by the Americana and we had 278 00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:29.440 a wonderful, wonderful evening. It was packed and there's a 279 00:15:29.480 --> 00:15:33.080 good vibrant crowd. There of different types of people and 280 00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:36.000 young and old and everything else. But my son had 281 00:15:36.039 --> 00:15:41.679 never had bone in wings, you know, because kids say 282 00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:46.519 everything is a chicken tender or a nugget. And I said, 283 00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:48.159 I want you to have these. I want you to 284 00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:52.320 try them. There's a cartoony watches where that they're they're 285 00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:56.879 obsessed with wings. And he tried them and he enjoyed them, 286 00:15:56.919 --> 00:15:59.960 and he, you know, he was like, this is fantastic, 287 00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:04.639 this is really wonderful, and really enjoyed them. And you think, well, 288 00:16:06.039 --> 00:16:08.519 this is an animal. And he goes, this is from 289 00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:10.360 the animal, right, from a chicken. And I said, yeah, 290 00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:12.480 and that's why the bones are here, and explain that. 291 00:16:12.559 --> 00:16:15.000 And he asked a bunch of questions and I told him, 292 00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:17.240 I said, if you're going to take the life of 293 00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:23.279 an animal out of respect, you use all of it, 294 00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:25.879 every little piece you can, even the bones for making 295 00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:29.519 your stock or doing what you use everything you can. 296 00:16:31.200 --> 00:16:33.399 And so we come up with new cuts on a 297 00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:37.840 rare occasion. And but basically you're parsing the animal and 298 00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:40.399 fabricating it down to certain parts and certain cuts that 299 00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:43.440 are well known now as far as the history of 300 00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:45.759 these cuts you get, you kind of name them when 301 00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:47.919 when you can trace them back to a person or 302 00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:51.559 a place and this was its origin. You know. I 303 00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:56.799 suppose you can call a margarita whatever you want, you know, 304 00:16:57.039 --> 00:17:00.159 but it's like, at what point, you know, do I 305 00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:03.480 care if someone calls it a Texas steak? I don't, Well, 306 00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:05.119 I know what the hell it is. No, I'm going 307 00:17:05.160 --> 00:17:07.880 to say it's a New York strip because that's what 308 00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:09.640 it is to me when I see it. If I 309 00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:13.160 saw that cut raw in a package without a label 310 00:17:13.200 --> 00:17:15.079 on it, I'd go, that's a New York strip right there. 311 00:17:16.160 --> 00:17:19.799 And that just makes it easier. In some areas, something's 312 00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:22.319 a regional. What was the thing that you said was 313 00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:24.640 the Pittsburgh Medium Oh. 314 00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:25.839 Yeah, Pittsburgh Medium steak. 315 00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:27.119 And what is that described? 316 00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:29.240 If people don't know, that's how I like my stake prepared. 317 00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:32.680 Is really charred on the outside and then medium slash 318 00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:34.039 rare on the inside. 319 00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:38.519 So that's a regional thing. Now, there are things I 320 00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:42.599 was telling you in the Latino community, Mexicans in particular, 321 00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:45.480 a lot of times like it's super charred on the outside, 322 00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:48.599 and when you're growing up, depending if you came straight 323 00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:54.440 from a Latin America, you probably want it well done 324 00:17:55.559 --> 00:18:00.799 because you didn't trust the meat necessarily. So, you know, 325 00:18:01.000 --> 00:18:03.359 as people are here in the States more and more, 326 00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:06.119 then they switch to chart on the outside and medium 327 00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:10.240 on the inside. But there's all these different things that 328 00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:13.400 are regional, and sometimes the names may be different. There 329 00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:16.880 are you know, flank steaks, flap stakes. There's all kinds 330 00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:19.400 of different names, and sometimes there's different names for the 331 00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:23.359 same cut. So it does happen. And depending on where 332 00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:27.599 you are, if you're buying in a certain butcher or 333 00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:33.519 a certain a marketplace, it might be called something different. 334 00:18:35.720 --> 00:18:39.559 This seems like just a marketing thing. You know, you 335 00:18:39.599 --> 00:18:41.480 could call it whatever you want. You can say it's 336 00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:45.440 a Texas steak and then beneath it say a specially 337 00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:48.920 prepared New York strip whatever. So I don't know if 338 00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:51.839 this is going to go anywhere as to what this means, 339 00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:57.799 but trying to get it to immortalize, you know, a 340 00:18:57.920 --> 00:19:01.319 new name when it's been New York State steak for 341 00:19:01.359 --> 00:19:04.920 so long. I'm curious as how this is is going 342 00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:07.079 to play out. But we shall see. Another battle that 343 00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:12.519 is heated and technically means nothing. You've been listening to 344 00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:14.759 the Fork Report. You can always hear us live on 345 00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:18.039 KFI AM six forty two to five pm on Saturday 346 00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:22.640 and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app talking to 347 00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:29.799 Teddy from Real in Oh my gosh and Rudy geez, 348 00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:34.200 did you not want it from Gracia signor the food truck? 349 00:19:35.279 --> 00:19:37.799 And you know a lot of losing a lot of 350 00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:41.559 people that have been displaced because the fires, and that 351 00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:44.160 was their hangout, you know, in those areas in the 352 00:19:44.200 --> 00:19:47.480 Palisades and the like. And and here he is. Someone 353 00:19:47.519 --> 00:19:50.720 wouldn't even let us pay for the food brought us food. 354 00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:55.279 Kayla producer Kayla even told him, please don't bother bringing food. 355 00:19:56.440 --> 00:19:59.279 We just want to celebrate you and hear your story. 356 00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:01.599 And meanwhile we will and here of it. 357 00:20:01.599 --> 00:20:03.240 He's like, the food trucks outside, what do you need? 358 00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:03.759 And how many? 359 00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:05.920 I'm like, all right, we get two?

But yeah, 367 00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:20.720 I did give him a hug. 368 00:20:20.839 --> 00:20:22.240 I wanted to just hold him. 369 00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:24.279 What a sweet man, right, he had an adorable face. 370 00:20:24.279 --> 00:20:27.240 He was just an adorable personal energy. Just love the kid. 371 00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:28.839 That's how that's how he gets more of a tip. 372 00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:34.400 Doesn't work with with my fat cheeks. I got cheeks. 373 00:20:36.079 --> 00:20:39.319 You don't want to think about your cheeks these on 374 00:20:39.400 --> 00:20:44.839 my face? All right? Tiffany Hobbs is with us enjoying 375 00:20:44.839 --> 00:20:45.799 the show last week. 376 00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:46.720 Wow, thank you? 377 00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:48.400 What is going on tonight? 378 00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:50.759 Well, you know you started the show off by saying 379 00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:53.480 that once the cameras go away, that doesn't mean that 380 00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:56.160 we should take our feet off of the gas. We 381 00:20:56.200 --> 00:20:59.759 should continue paying attention to people and businesses that were 382 00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:02.920 by the fires. I really enjoyed that segment in the 383 00:21:02.920 --> 00:21:06.119 beginning and the entire theme of tonight's show that you had. 384 00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:08.880 Because we're carrying that theme over. We'll be speaking to 385 00:21:09.079 --> 00:21:12.759 a senior from Palisades High School and she is going 386 00:21:12.839 --> 00:21:15.640 to give us the rundown on how the first week 387 00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:19.640 went back at the Seers Building, say back at it's 388 00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:22.000 their first week at the Seers Building. They'll be there 389 00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:25.920 for the for the foreseeable future as their high school 390 00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:31.160 is reconstructed. The projected dates for the kind of rehabilitation 391 00:21:31.200 --> 00:21:34.359 of Palisades High School go out until twenty twenty eight 392 00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:37.359 at the earliest, so this Seers Building could be their 393 00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:39.319 home for a while. And so she's going to come 394 00:21:39.319 --> 00:21:42.200 on and tell us about the journey from January seventh 395 00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:47.039 to just this recent Friday yesterday, after finishing their first week. 396 00:21:47.440 --> 00:21:49.880 We're going to also talk about how malls in Orange 397 00:21:49.920 --> 00:21:54.000 County are being repurposed. So looking at the Seers building, 398 00:21:54.079 --> 00:21:57.960 that's one way in which they're being reutilized, but malls 399 00:21:57.960 --> 00:22:01.359 are also being turned into housing, and Orange County has 400 00:22:01.680 --> 00:22:04.960 a few malls that are vacant or nearly so, and 401 00:22:05.039 --> 00:22:08.559
