The Ringer likes to hide mini podcast series inside an established one. And so you might have missed Shift Meal hosted by Danny Chau.
Over four episodes, Chau talks BBQ in Los Angeles with the best the City of Angels has to offer (which is a lot, this city has lots of good ‘cue). It will make you desperately hungry so prepare accordingly. And it makes me hope that Chau will cover pizza and burgers at some point.
For beer, I suggest that you find yourself some good winter bocks or dopplebocks. Something suitably big and malty that will not be cowed into submission by burnt ends or dinosaur ribs. Maybe Figueroa Mountain’s 14th Anniversary rum barrel-aged helles bock.
