Still Life with Cookbooks, Berkeley, California / copyright Justice Putnam — “It may be safely averred that good cookery is the best and truest economy, turning to full account every wholesome article of food, and converting into palatable meals what the ignorant either render uneatable or throw away in disdain.” - Eliza Acton ‘Modern Cookery for Private Families’ (1845)

Today’s West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy Podcast for our especially special Daily Special, Smothered Benedict Wednesday is now available on the Spreaker Player!

Starting off in the Bistro Cafe, a panicked Trump ordered his MAGA Department of Justice to file notices with Judge Aileen Cannon "warning" her not to release Special Counsel Jack Smith's Mar a Lago final report.

Then, on the rest of the menu, on the heels of the devastating Dragon Bravo Fire on the park’s North Rim, which destroyed the historic Grand Canyon Lodge, all hotels on Grand Canyon National Park's South Rim have closed indefinitely; Salem, Oregon declared an emergency over increased ICE activity and unlawful arrests; and, a new notice on Target’s website offers a potential hint to the widely varying costs for eggs, “this price was set by an algorithm using your personal data.”

After the break, we move to the Chef’s Table where Babson College has offered support to the student deported while trying to fly home for a Thanksgiving surprise; and, Russian cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev has been removed from the prime crew of SpaceX’s Crew-12 mission to the International Space Station after he was caught spying for Russia.

All that and more, on West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy with Chef de Cuisine Justice Putnam.

Bon Appétit!
