Red Medicine; Wine Club; Clay Pot Cooking

We're cooking in clay pots with potter Felipe Ortega.  He'll tell us how micaceous clay can affect the taste of the food.  Jonathan Gold takes us to the controversial and very modern restaurant, Red Medicine.  Plus sommelier Stacie Hunt is back with her wine club suggestions.  And Laura Avery gets a cauliflower recipe from Dan Mattern of Ammo.

It's that time of year when we ask you, our listener, to support Good Food and KCRW by becoming a member.  Join online and you'll be invited to a special thank-you dinner at Street hosted by Evan Kleiman and Susan Feniger.  Details are on the Good Food Blog.

Red Medicine ()

Jonathan Gold is the Pulitzer Prize-winning food writer for the LA Weekly.  This week, he reviews Red Medicine, the acclaimed and controversial restaurant, which got a lot of attention when it snapped a photo of LA Times restaurant critic Irene Virbila.   Jonathan likes the food and goes as far as saying that it's the most modern restaurant in Los Angeles right now.  He likes the banh mi, the pork pate, Kelly's mom's farm egg, the amberjack and the guinea fowl.
