On this week's episode of Snacky Tunes, Darin is flying solo while Greg is at Primavera Sound in Barcelona. Joining Darin in the studio is Steven Redzikowski of the restaurant Oak in Boulder, Colorado. Hear about Steven's beginnings in food at a pizza joint in Long Island. Hear about his graduation to Le Cirque and working for Jean Georges in New York City. Learn about how Steven migrated out West and started Oak, and then nearly had his restaurant ruined by a fire. Later, Oberhofer plays some tracks of his record Time Capsules II. Hear some crazy motorcycle stories from the road, and what it was like for Brad to play a set between Linkin Park and the Smashing Pumpkins. This program has been brought to you by Tekserve.
"I was about a block away, and I got a call from one of our managers- he said we had a fire in one of our exhaust systems...I thought we could be open maybe later that afternoon...it ended up being nine months we were out." -- Steven Redzikowski on Snacky Tunes
"As an artist I think it's your job not to give people what they want, but something you want them to have." -- Brad Oberhofer on Snacky Tunes
