The Food and Drink of 'Mad Men;' Honey; Angeli Closes
The food and drink of Mad Men is a glimpse of 1960 trends. A honey sommelier decodes the honey jar and Evan Kleiman says closing Angeli was the hardest decision of her life.
By Evan Kleiman • • 57m ListenGood Food host Evan Kleiman announced just before the new year that she will close Angeli Caffe, on January 13, 2012. Today she reminisces about the early days of the restaurant and discusses her decision to close after 27 years of business. Cookbook authors Judy Gelman and Peter Zheutlin fell so deeply under the spell of AMC's hit show Mad Men that they decided to write a cookbook featuring the food and cocktails featured on the show. Jonathan Gold visits a pop up restaurant with a unique style of service, and Lesley Barger Suter heads to LA's Westside to find that beachside dining is all grown up. Plus, Marina Marchese explains why there is no such thing as organic honey in the United States and Sara Kate Gillingham Ryan gives us the rules (and then how to break them) on making your next cheese plate.
