Show Notes
Manchester Farms Quail of Columbia, South Carolina is a discovery from the Natural Products Expo West last month in Anaheim. “Committed to humane, sustainable farming, Manchester Farms provides premium quail meat and quail eggs to chefs, retailers, and home cooks nationwide. Quail meat has more protein per gram than chicken & turkey. Quail eggs have 3 to 4 times the nutritional value of a chicken egg and up to 5 times more iron and potassium. Founded in 1974 by Bill Odom and now owned by his daughter, Brittney Miller, Manchester Farms is America’s oldest and largest quail farm. What began as a small backyard operation has grown into a multi-generation, woman-owned family business producing over 80,000 Pharaoh quail per week.” Brittney Miller joins us with a Quail egg shooter at the ready.
“Masters of Taste, Los Angeles’ premier outdoor luxury food and beverage festival, returns for its eagerly anticipated eighth annual event, taking place on Sunday, April 19, 2026, from 3 to 7:00 p.m. once again on the field of the iconic Pasadena Rose Bowl Stadium. 100% of the proceeds will directly benefit Union Station Homeless Services, a non-profit organization providing over 50 years of homeless services and housing for thousands of neighbors.” One of the Beverage Masters supporting the Benefit is Boomtown Brewery. Representing them with us is Ben Turkel. “Since its inception, Boomtown Brewery has proudly represented Los Angeles, creating unfiltered, full-flavored craft beers with integrity. As a fixture in the DTLA Arts District for over a decade, Boomtown is more than just a brewery—it’s a community hub for artists, makers, and beer lovers to connect and celebrate the creative spirit of the city.”
One of the other Beverage Masters supporting the Masters of Taste Benefit at The Rose Bowl on Sunday, April 19th is Winemaker Paul Warson of Warson Wine Company. Paul joins us to pull the cork on all that is Warson Wine.
Chef Andrew has the day off as he’s participating in a holiday Easter Egg Hunt and Family Fun Day with a Celebrity Dump Tank affair for charity this morning. He’s back with us next week on April 11th. Executive Producer Andy Harris is just back from a week in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He’ll share some brief highlights including The Milwaukee Art Museum and the surprising Harley-Davidson Museum.
All of this and heaping helpings of extra deliciousness on this week’s not-to-miss show!
