Andy Baraghani is a chef from the Bay Area, currently living in New York. His new book The Cook You Want To Be is out now. We chat about the Marines Pride campaign, our show at Tribeca Film Festival, chain-smoking Parliaments in a dark corner, reorganizing the furniture in hotel rooms, never show how much the champagne costs, going on Good Morning America, Chris wanting an appliance-free kitchen, persimmons smell like cum, what’s happening with Persian food, putting a little bonito flake on your cereal, if we’re all chaotic then none of us are, listening to punk as a teen, where we like to eat in LA, Martin’s potato rolls are canceled, and how to get Andy’s boyfriend to stop eating so much fruit.
