Hanker as Leff and his ravenous cohorts scarf ribs in the chowmobile. Drool to the provocative sounds of frying Filipino pork haunches… and groan with vicarious ecstacy as you sample sacred buttery offerings from the magical street cart of the Jackson Heights Arepa Lady.

There’s also more conventional programming: interviews, editorials, and the ever-popular “Ask the Chowhound.”

Note: this is very much a work in progress. We’re working on some cool theme music, gradually building up an archive of programs, and Jim’s getting the hang of all this recording and editing equipment…so please bear with us!


 The Arepa Lady
Jim Leff discusses life, politics and most importantly food with Brooklyn’s finest Arepa lady.


Chowhounding in the Ironbound
Jon Kalish checks out some Brazilian cheese bread, Galician sangri­a, and Portuguese codfish in Newark’s Ironbound district, along with Alpha Dog Jim Leff. This program was originally broadcast on “WBGO Journal.”


Biker Billy
Jon Kalish profiles the eccentric, pepper-loving chef and public access cable cult phenom. This program was originally broadcast on PRI’s “The Splendid Table.”


Barley Wine Tasting
Reporter Jon Kalish attends a tasting of rare, ultra-strong beers in a Williamsburg, Brooklyn aficionado bar. He meets a number of unusual characters (who characterize themselves as “beer geeks”) who’ve gathered to obsess en masse. Includes semi-woozy commentary by Jim Leff. This program was originally broadcast on WNYC’s “Morning Edition.”
