The Joe Rogan Experience - Episode 1782
Daniel Holzman is the chef and restauranteur behind New York City's The Meatball Shop and Danny Boy's Famous Original Pizza in Los Angeles. His new book, "Food IQ: 100 Questions, Answers and Recipes to Raise Your Cooking Smarts," is available now.
Don't go into this one with an empty stomach is all I can say. Otherwise, you are going to be salivating at the mouth thinking about Texas smoked steaks, pizza, pasta - you name it.
Daniel is a low-key sort of expert. He's down to Earth and funny to listen to. He sounds like if Jonah Hill was a chef. The book sounds fantastic. This is definitely the sort of guy who could bring home cooking to the masses.
The interview is sprinkled with Jiu Jitsu talk throughout and wraps up the last 20 minutes or so with a conversation about martial arts training. We also get not one, but TWO Rogan RantsTM in this episode!
(We do not actually have a pending trademark on "Rogan Rant". But we should.)
