The show’s new season, streaming now, pushes Lionel to further culinary and comedic heights, and we’re thrilled to have him on the podcast to talk about it.  MORE FROM LIONEL BOYCE:Lionel Boyce of “The Bear” on an Inglewood Food Crawl [Los Angeles Times]The Bear’s Lionel Boyce Didn’t Bake Those Doughnuts, but He Did Glaze Them [Vulture]The Bear Is a Gritty Fairy Tale of Cooking and Grief [New Yorker] FOLLOW, FOLLOW, FOLLOW:instagram.com/lionel.boyceinstagram.com/mattrodbardinstagram.com/taste

Today is Cake Zine day on the show, and Matt is so excited to welcome in his cohost, Aliza Abarbanel, along with Cake Zine coeditor Tanya Bush to the studio. Cake Zine is an independent magazine and a “hedonistic exploration of history, pop culture, literature, and art through sweets.” The latest issue’s theme is Humble Pie, and we speak with Aliza and Tanya about some of the issue’s features that highlight “broad interpretations of humiliation and piping-hot servings of contrition.” This is such a great talk. Also on the show, Aliza has an excellent conversation with Stacey Mei Yan Fong, author of the new book 50 Pies, 50 States.
