As has become the tradition on My Life as a Foodie every October, we’re celebrating Halloween in style on the show. Also holding to tradition, we take digs at Paula Deen, drink a Halloween-themed beer, cook a little something in the kitchen, play some classic horror movie clips, eerie music, and tell a few ghost [...]
LA Beer Week is here, and we kicked it off in style recently at Deconstructed LA with Firestone Walker and the culinary genius of Sean Z. Paxton. Firestone Walker has produced a lot of beer over the years, and what they decided to do is create the rarest beer blend into its key components, with [...]
