About this episode

The episode features interviews with restaurateur Dustin Trani and the owners of Coastline Pizzeria, along with a segment by Chef Andrew Gruel on grilling mistakes.

Restaurateur Dustin Trani of Trani’s Dockside Station, J. Trani’s Ristorante and Majestic in San Pedro is one of the high-profile participating chefs in Hollywood on the Coast. We’ll meet him. Coastline Pizzeria in Mission Viejo is far more ambitious than your typical neighborhood pizza joint. It’s an effort of brothers Jason Martin and Gabe Wood. Their tagline is “East Coast Inspired and West Coast Crafted.” Rising above the pack they use no seed oils. The pizza dough is made in-house daily from scratch and allowed to properly rest and ferment. Their house-made mozzarella sticks, wings and fries are cooked in beef tallow to add extra flavor. Pizzaiolos Jason Martin and Gabe Wood take a break from their busy kitchen to join us in studio. For our concluding segment at 11:45 a.m. our own Chef Andrew Gruel, the menu-maker behind the full-service Calico Fish House (located in the Sunset Beach area of Huntington Beach) provides another timely and informative “Ask the Chef” segment where he responds to listeners’ thoughtful inquiries. It’s Summer Grilling Season and Chef Andrew recaps his newly published series from American Gravy of “Grilling Mistakes That Are Ruining Your Cookout.”
