This week's guest on Chef's Story is Robert Surles, better known as Chef Bobo, Executive Chef at The Calhoun School and a leader in the school food revolution. Tune in to hear how he discovered cooking and went from a freelance chef at ING to cooking for Derek Jeter. Chef Bobo explains how he tries to transform the way children eat in cafeterias at schools, and why it's not always easy to break bad food habits. From fresh pasta to salad bars to chicken etouffee, Chef Bobo has dedicated his career to making sure kids are introduced to the highest quality foods and learn about healthy eating. This program was sponsored by Hearst Ranch.
"Kids [actually] love vegetables!"
"Our chefs not only cook the food, they serve it. They encourage the kids. There's something magic about that white jacket we take out there."
"High school seniors that have eaten my food at the school for 10 years can't even eat at fast food restaurants anymore. The overlying taste has become offensive to them."
--Chef Bobo on Chef's Story

This week on Let's Eat In, our hostess Cathy Erway talks with Chase Emmons of Brooklyn Grange and Tim O'Neal of Borough Bees. Our guests have teamed up to start a 30 hive apiary at the new Brooklyn Grange rooftop farm in the Brooklyn Navy Yards. Tune in to hear how Chase and Tim got their starts in beekeeping, the surprising demand for NYC honey, and the plans for Brooklyn Grange's apiary this season. Learn about bee genetics, and how Chase and Tim plan to breed bees that are adaptable to New York City's weather and conditions. In other words- local New York bees! Thanks to this episode's sponsor, Whole Foods.
"When I started keeping bees, I joined the local beekeeping organization and I was the youngest member by 60 years." -- Tim O'Neal on Let's Eat In
"You want cold winters so bees can make it through the winters. They'll go more dormant, so to speak. If they don't go dormant and they stay a little too active, they go through all their emergency food supplies, which is stored honey." -- Chase Emmons on Let's Eat In

Tim and Stephen discuss their reverence for famed beer writer, Michael Jackson, and how their book was influenced by his writings. Bobo and Tim talk about lambics, and what beers can be officially labeled with the title. Hear the gang's opinions on Italian beers, and listen in to hear about some European countries with burgeoning beer scenes! Learn more about beer in South America, Asia, and Africa! This episode has been sponsored by GreatBrewers.com.
"By the time we came out of it [writing the book] over a year later, the both of us were reeling that we really hadn't had any idea of exactly how big the beer thing was globally, and is only getting bigger." [12:00] -- Stephen Beaumont on Beer Sessions Radio
"As there are brewers all around the world that are trying to make spontaneously fermented, wild-fermented beers- should 'lambic' become the genuine... from Belgium? And the other revitalized types of beers using wild yeast should just be called something else?" [20:30] -- Tim Webb on Beer Sessions Radio
