It's LA Beer Week and Beer Chick Christina Perozzi is here to tell us about the exciting new flavors of local craft brews. Dan Koeppel takes on a journey to the Congo to discover new varieties of bananas. Don't have a tandoor oven in your kitchen? Aarti Sequeira of Aarti Party tells us her secret for making fool-proof naan in a cast iron pan and Michael Ruhlman comes back to the studio to discuss why salt is the most important ingredient in the kitchen. Paul Wenger explains why picking strawberries is harder than you may think and Aaron Gassmann details how pest-resistant crops are losing their pest resistance. Plus, Jonathan Gold takes us to Little Tokyo to a brick and mortar restaurant that started out as a food truck.
