Pizza, Chocolate Fountains and Mac & Cheese for 5,000 People: Alon Shaya’s Long Road to Chefdom

Alon Shaya is having a moment—he’s just opened two new restaurants
and published his first book. But his success wasn’t always a
given. We chat about his circuitous path and the food he ate along
the way. Also on this week’s show: Julia Turshen makes magic out of
leftovers (tomato sauce becomes tomato soup); secrets to
oven-poached salmon; four unexpected ways to use tahini; and Dan
Pashman remembers Homer Simpson and food.
