This week U Look Hungry delves into the intersections between art and food with the trio of editors of the brand spankin new culture magazine White Zinfandel. Editors Jiminie Ha,
Dominic Leong, and Chris Leong sit down with host Helen Hollyman to chat about White Zinf's devotion to "the visual manifestation of food and culture produced within the lives of creative individuals." Their themes range from the nostalgia of the artist culture in the 70's and 80's to TV dinners. Tune in and find out what food and architecture have in common as well as the inside scoop on what's going on in the next issue. This episode is sponsored by S. Wallace Edwards & Sons.
"[On food culture as a spectrum] It's a common denominator of experiencing everyday life, it's a necessity that everyone has to feed themselves . . but on the other side of the spectrum, food culture has kinda gone into becoming the new luxury."
--Dominic Leong on U Look Hungry

This week host Erin Fitzpatrick helms the 95th episode of Unfiltered solo but is joined by long time friend, and one of the first guests on the show, Tom Gannon. They talk about his work at the Spire Collection after leaving Rothmann's Steakhouse in New York. Tune to learn about and what it takes to become a certified master sommelier from theory to tasting to cigar pairing as well as the inside scoop on Nashville's burgeoning wine and food scene. This episode is sponsored by The Hearst Ranch.
"[On cigar pairings] I would always argue it should never be a wine you have to taste on its own, nothing rare or older vintage, that would suffer. . . varietals like Zinfandel and Petit Syrah I always thought were good to pair with cigars."
--Tom Gannon on Unfiltered
