West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy is Now Open! 8am-9am PT/ 11am-Noon ET for our especially special Daily Specials, Smothered Benedict Wednesdays!

Starting off in the Bistro Cafe, an ex-Trump White House lawyer says Congress should disqualify Trump from ever running for office.

Then, on the rest of the menu, Joe Manchin’s change of heart could revive the US solar industry; the Oklahoma State Board of Education downgraded the accreditation of Tulsa Public Schools after a teacher complained that the school district’s training materials “shame white people;” and, a special prosecutor has determined a Virginia police officer should not face charges after he pepper-sprayed, struck and handcuffed a Black US Army lieutenant during a 2020 traffic stop.

After the break, we move to the Chef’s Table where the arrest of a prominent Guatemalan journalist has drawn widespread condemnation; and, the fact it was England’s women’s team that won a major soccer championship, and not the men’s that ended fifty-six years of pain, made it all the sweeter for many fans.

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

Bon Appétit!

"To those of us who believe that all of life is sacred every crumb of bread and sip of wine is a Eucharist, a remembrance, a call to awareness of holiness right where we are. I want all of the holiness of the Eucharist to spill out beyond church walls, out of the hands of priests and into the regular streets and sidewalks, into the hands of regular, grubby people like you and me, onto our tables, in our kitchens and dining rooms and backyards.”
