Mixologist Dave Arnold on Taste Matters with Mitchell Davis

On this week's episode of Taste Matters, Dave Arnold, who presides over the forward-thinking mixology program at New York City's Booker and Dax, joined Mitchell Davis to discuss the true meaning of being a chef, mixologist, and food enthusiast. From finding inspiration in local ingredients to using high-tech equipment, chefs are inventing new dishes, techniques, and crafts to keep up with the rapidly expanding industry. Dave also explains how home cooks are evolving, as well—with the vast amount of information available online, people are learning to cook and bake through experimentation at home rather than from first-hand instruction. Listen below to learn more:

Taste Matters is a radio program dedicated to taste: as a sense, cultural construct, and culinary phenomenon. However much we talk about where our food comes from, how it’s produced, who prepares it, or what sorts of socio-cultural-political implications our food choices and eating behaviors have, taste is fundamental.

You can catch Taste Matters with Mitchell Davis live every Wednesday at 11:00 A.M. on Heritage Radio Network, or listen to the show afterwards right here on our blog. To check out past episodes, click here. Stay tuned for more!
