Hanabi

"It’s sad when a 93 year old restaurant Roosevelt Tamale Parlor, that has been something of a neighborhood staple closes it’s doors for good. It’s even more sad when they list the reason for closure as high labor costs. The current minimum wage in San Francisco is $12.25, and that is barely enough to afford rent in the city. Definitely a conundrum. On a brighter note, my love of breakfast has been met by a wonderful Instagram account called Symmetry Breakfast. It’s basically everything. Hanabi, is becoming something of a Japanese cuisine master and he’s flaunting it with his sake shioyaki and taking it even further with his scallion pancakes. 00:00 Intro 02:26 One More Night- Stars 07:41 The Woods- Stars 10:25 Take Me To The Riot- Stars 14:04 Break 21:14 Born On A Train- The Magnetic Fields 24:56 With Whom To Dance- The Magnetic Fields 27:24 Break 33:00 My Mathmatical Mind- Spoon 38:01 Sister Jack- Spoon 41:36 I've Been Gone Too Long- Spoon 44:25 Was It You- Spoon 49:27 Dear Mister Landlord- Spoon 51

"Another one in the books! The Thanksgiving books that is. We decided to give you a little taste of the after party with an awesome, and very British way of getting rid of all those left over mashed potatoes and veggies, called bubble and squeak. We also talked about how awesome Japanese milk bread is and how well it pairs with left over turkey and some onion jam to make the best turkey sandwich ever. Hanabi decided that all this colonial day of thanks business was for the birds so he hit up Groupon to snack additional savings on some Thanksgiving churrascaria 00:00 Intro 03:06 Baby Don't Go- Katie Von Schleicher 06:10 Move Through- Katie Von Schleicher 09:37 Ronny- Katie Von Schleicher 12:10 Break 22:38 La Fat Fur- Connan Mockasin; Devonte Hynes 25:07 Feeling Lovely- Connan Mockasin; Devonte Hynes 28:51 Big Distant Crush- Connan Mockasin; Devonte Hynes 33:37 Break 40:01 Earth Segue- shirlette ammons 42:28 Earth Intro- shirlette ammons 45:50 Dear Nora- shirlette ammons 49:35 My Mac Yawns I Go On to

"Hanabi is all about Thanksgiving. It’s an opportunity to put on a great spread. Although the menu may be similar, a Thanksgiving feast is very specific to an individual family and most of us have eaten the same Thanksgiving dinner, as prepared by family members as long as we can remember, and we still crave those same dishes, prepared the exact same way every time. There’s nothing wrong with that. But, occasionally, we may not be able to sit down with our families and we have to go it alone. Hanabi finds himself in that boat this year. SO, he’s chosen to host his own orphans Thanksgiving dinner. Yes, there will be turkey. But, instead of a whole bird he’s going for a porchetta turkey breast. What the hell is that you ask? Porchetta is of course a pork roast that is stuffed with mixture or herbs, garlic and lemon zest. Basically it delicious. Hanabi us also making a brussels sprout gratin loaded with gruyere cheese. Hanabi is also making some macarons because why the hell not? 00:00 Intro 02:47 Bed

Then she tells you she likes the 5,6,7,8's and you tell her that you're in the unique position of playing them for her on your Japanese music radio show. So you do that, and give her a shout out.

"Hanabi is back from their trips and decide to take a stay-cation. Hey, Seattle isn’t a bad place to do that either. Hanabi likes to go to some of the lesser talked about, more off the beaten path, every-man kind of places. It’s even better when yo consider how often he does this for Japanese restaurants. Obasan is just such a place and their mackerel shioyaki is anything but off the beaten path. Seattle is many things, but a bastion of Mexican cuisine it is not. It’s not east coast or mid-west bad, but it’s defiantly not good. That is until a little spot called Villa Escondida came to town. Hanabi, as a California native knows the good stuff. Listen in to see what he really thinks of their enchiladas. 00:00 Intro 02:34 Why Let It Go- Telegraph Canyon 06:24 The Laughing Woman- Ducktails 09:47 Anew- Soda Shop 12:29 Hanabi reviews Villa Escondida 19:36 The Undying Star- Mark McGuire 24:10 Remind- Benoit Pioulard 32:10 Hanabi reviews Obasan 37:49 D Frozent Aac- Squarepusher 43:18 Silver Sun- Clark 48:30

"Hanabi completed their sweep of New Orleans over Halloween weekend and it was a real eat-fest from start to finish. Yes there were several trips to Cafe Du Monde. That’s mandatory. But it was the jazz brunch at Commander’s Palace among others that stole the show. We’re talking bbq shrimp and grits here! The LPG Burger at La Petite Grocery is ridiculous! They have badass shrimp and grits too! If you want to get weird on Magazine st. head over to District Donuts. Not that their food is at all weird. It’s just a really cool thing to say. While Hanabi was out partying, other Hanabi found some Mole Salumi at Salumi Cured Meats. You’re welcome! He also made some beer and bacon pancakes. You’re extra welcome. 00:00 Intro 02:22 W.O.W.- Architecture In Helsinki 04:58 Sleep Talkin- Architecture in Helsinki 07:48 B4 3D- Architecture in Helsinki 11:49 Hanabi eats burgers on Magazine street 18:12 Sun- Caribou 23:49 Dreams So Real- Metric 26:23 Hanabi gets down on some wine NOLA style 37:51 Pulse- Shigeto 4

"Hanabi has been on a delicious New Orleans bender, and that train is still rolling. As Hanabi gets set to head out to New Orleans, he decided that since it’s going to be a calorie bust, he might as well get into some salad. Healthy, green salad. There are good salads, and there are bad salads. Hanabi wants you to eat more good salads. By the way, the best salad is the salad Nicoise. Yes, it’s better than a Cobb salad, and is slightly better than a Caesar salad. Of note, Hanabi means the actual Caesar salad made the proper way with raw yolks table-side, and not that ridiculous cream based dressing that passes for Caesar dressing. Oh, and it has to have the anchovies too. Since we’re talking Salad, Hanabi had a Chef’s salad at the Standard in New Orleans. The Chef’s salad is pretty good, still not up to a Nicoise though. Nothing goers better with a salad than a Sazerac. Remember that. 00:00 Intro 03:41 Glass Ceiling Universe- Apprentice Destroyer 09:08 Crome Temple- Apprentice Destroyer 12:55 Break 25:12

"This week Hanabi gives us the dirt on his trip to New Orleans. Let’s get Cafe Du Monde right out of the way. It’s truly an amazing place in which $5 gets you instant gratification. A chicory coffee and plate of fresh beignets is really all you need. Open 24 hours too! As Hanabi is wont to do, he visited an Izakaya for a fresh take on octopus. It took him awhile to eat it but it was worth it. He went to the famed Lafitte’s Blacksmith and saw a cop on horseback stroll up and order a drink. Speaking of drinks, he sampled LA 31’s Biere Noir. He stuck around the French Quarter, but that place is loaded with places to eat and drink and just see weird things in general. Oh, Hanabi will be there over halloween and Day of the Dead so there will be more to report. 00:00 Intro 04:10 Fancy Flaws- Young Galaxy 08:22 Elevator- Young Rivals 10:30 Hanabi talks Cafe Du Monde and Yuki Izakaya 19:46 Somewhere Over The Rainbow- The Space Lady 25:16 Approaching The Surface- Total Unicorn 31:07 Hanabi eats at Yo Moma

"Okay so first there was BabyMetal, who are the cutesy, Harajuku school girls who just happen to meld an ultra J-Pop aesthetic with pure early 90’s grind core. Well played. Now three’s LadyBaby who are quite a sight to behold. They have a similar vibe going for them, except for one of the members who is named LadyBeard. Um, trust us. Check it out. Then there’s some ladies who are pure metal, and just so happen to rock that sweet Lolita look. Welcome Band-Maid. Lastly, they aren’t metal, and it’s not even close. But, they are obsessed with hamburgers and that’s awesome. Meet Hamburgirlz. Somewhere Cibo Matto is looking down at them and smiling. 00:00 Intro 01:57 Hitohira No Hanabira - Stereopony 05:23 Fate Gear- FATE GEAR 09:20 Grilletto- GARNIDELIA 13:23 No Eazel, No HAMBURGURL-HAMBURGURL 22:00 Break 23:56 SAVE YOUR HEART- GANG LION 28:20 Forget Me Not- CROSSVIEW 32:48 Ikusa- Wagakki Band 36:18 Real Existance- BAND-MAID 40:17 Break 42:06 MEGITSUNE- BABYMETAL 46:05 Aching Memories- Ragalia 49:29 Nippon Manju-

"This week Hanabi both hits the road and aspirates to hit the road. First Hanabi explores some of the most ubiquitous British comfort foods starting with the venerable savory pie at Mother Mash near Caraby St. and Harry’s cafe de Wheels in Sydney. Yes, Hanabi is well aware that Sydney is not a part of the UK, but the culinary traditions persist. Hanabi also discusses the jewel in the crown otherwise known as the full English breakfast. Hanabi is currently in New Orleans and that is basically a show unto itself with all that food. Hanabi does enjoy going off the beaten path to try local, budget friendly haunts so check out his visit to Verti-Marte in NOLA for a little po’ boy sandwich and a crawfish beignet. 00:00 Intro 02:08 LA on Monday- Gang Signs 07:10 You- NEONHEART 10:26 Always Turn Your Head- Introverted Dancefloor 11:28 Break 19:56 Bad Ideas- Saint Seneca 23:24 Sodawaltz- Ms John Soda 26:04 Break 33:57 Make Them Gold- CHVRCHES 37:54 High Enough to Try You Over- CHVRCHES 41:18 Bow Down

"Speaking of mobile. Hanabi said “whatever I’m going to Manila for 3 days." So he did it. He ate adbo chicken from crazy hawker stalls. All in all a fun, tasty trip to a less heralded but possibly more accessible part of South East Asia. Even though Hanabi is not a believer of “cleansing” he kinda needed one anyway so he grabbed a quinoa bowl from local health food automat Eatsa. Get crazy Hanabi. Get crazy. Speaking of crazy. Hanabi went to Seattle’s Chinatown for a little dim sum shop called Duk Li for a little scallop and sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf. Nice! Join him as he heads over to Country Dough which sounds more like a spin-off of Cracker Barrel than a Chinese crepe shop. But, anyway, the cumin flatbread with beef is what’s good. We also had some really sweet bands for your listening enjoyment. 00:00 Intro 01:57 LA LA LA- Mike Krol 04:17 Don't You Evah- Spoon 07:44 Hanabi reviews Country Dough 12:41 Eyes Of Death- Spider Bags 18:02 The Leper- Dinosaur Jr 22:01 Hanabi Discusses Manila 34:30

"Hanabi likes to wade knee deep in controversy and nothing seems to stir up culinary controversy right now like 16-year old chef Flynn McGarry. If you’re not too familiar with him, he’s a young kid trying to operate in a grizzled, often ego-centric 30-something’s world, and seemingly unapologetically. Say what you will about earning your stripes through blood, sweat and tears as the idiom goes, but sometimes there’s someone half your age, who for no reason even they can explain, can just do it better than you without even trying. But, if I’m Japanese ramen chef Shouichi Fujimaki who charges $120 a bowl for his ramen, I’m probably not going to be too worried yet by Hanabi’s foray into cooking up his own shio ramen from scratch. Okay, I’d be a little worried. He even throws down a little gyoza in soup to show off a bit. In keeping with a little Japanese theme, Insane Dane visited New York institution Hatsuhanna for a really well presented sashimi bento-box called The Box of Dreams. He also visits Swine for

"Hanabi has been in a crazy pasta and dumplings mood lately. After thinking about how awesome Julia Child’s kitchen exhibit at the Smithsonian is, I decided to make an old favorite recipe of hers called Orecchiette con con Broccoli di Rape, or basically little ear pasta with broccoli rabe. It’s a simple dish, but it’s an amazing one-pot style dish that’s perfect for some Euro-style mid-week eating. Hanabi also said “I’m severely lacking in dumplings this week” and headed out to a favorite hole in the wall Chinese dumpling spot called Kingdom of Dumplings where their xiaolongbao rules over all other dumpling kingdoms. Not to be outdone Hanabi made some dim sum called beef cakes and karaage which is a great combo if I do say so myself. Don’t sleep on Destihl Brewery and their Rye Wine Ale either. Insane Dane is all about that pear nectar margarita because he’s not letting go of summer at Dish + Drink. 00:00 Intro 03:06 Megatouch- Battles 08:20 Flora_Fauna- Battles 09:39 Luu Le- Battles 16:17 Hanabi gets

"Don’t hate, but we may have snuck a Taiwanese band in this week. We occasionally like to keep people on their toes and guessing. Sometimes we get crazy and throw a K-Pop, or HK-Pop band in just for fun. Anyway, this week we thought you deserved some tracks from bands like Sour, also more from Kyoka and the cleverly named Young Juvenile Youth.

"It’s fall week here at BTR, and along with autumn comes football. And by football I mean real, grid-iron football, not that soccer stuff that ends in a tie and people think that’s okay. So, Hanabi headed down to Santa Clara in the heart of Silicon Valley to check out the Minnesota Vikings taking on the San Francisco 49ers. The game was sloppy, but the food choices had some ups and downs as well. Check out the show to get all the dirt on the eats at Levi’s Stadium. Hanabi got lazy this week. You know you’re lazy when have sushi delivered. This is something you should never, ever do. Sushi shouldn’t even be available for delivery. If you want sushi, get up and go get it, freshly made in front of you. Otherwise order a pizza, which is perfect for delivery. Listen to Hanabi talk about the mistake he made in having Sushi Bella delivered. Insane Dane apparently wants to know more about Pumpkin Spice Lattes so he checked into it in a riveting piece for Dish + Drink. He also made some Steak Salad for

"It'’s been hot in the city. Ridiculously hot. I live in this city to avoid the heat other cites get. Well, that and the food of course. Anyway, when the mercury gets to 90 in San Francisco which is just insane to even imagine if you’ve ever spent more than an hour here during the summer, I always seek something a bit colder than the outside air temperature. Ramen is right out so I move onto something in the dessert spectrum which some people may not know to much about. Of course I’m talking about ice cream. Like everything else here we have peeps who make it right. Bi-Rite is doing it right, as evidenced by the long lines they attract. Humphrey Slocombe is so good someone started a parody twitter account. But let’s not dawdle on those two ice cream giants. Instead, let’s get Taiwanese on it.  More specifically, due huabing or shaved snow if you don’t want to butcher the name. This stuff is amazing, and weird rolled into onw. Like sweet green beans on your ice cream, then shaved snow is for you. Han

"This week you’ll hear Hanabi discussing the arduous and laborious tasks that go into grinding your own beef where most people just go and buy it for like 99 cents a lb.  But, Hanabi is smart and grinding your own results in a superior burger. Don’t hate! Hanabi also does all the heavy lifting when it comes to finding out which Mediterranean joint makes a better hummus. Is it Mazzat in the red corner representing Lebanese cuisine? Or will it be Old Jerusalem in the blue corner representing Israeli-Arabian cuisine? Okay, is Insane Dane crazy or what? This guy went to the US Open to eat Waffle Fries. 00:00 Intro 04:47 Grow Up w.

"This week sees Hanabi return to the homeland of Minneapolis MN. As always the city welcomed him with open arms. He did not however, see Prince this outing, but that won’t stop him from trying. What Hanabi did mange however is to eat the best cheeseburger ever, sorry but Shake Shack sucks compared to the Jucy Lucy from Matt’s Bar in uptown Minneapolis. The other bar laying claim to the best cheese-stuffed burger is the venerable 5-8 Club in South Minneapolis. Listen to find out who won. Also,when in Minneapolis, more specifically Nordeast Minneapolis (that’s what you call it there) you should head straight for Psycho Suzi’s Motor Lounge for all your super 60’s freak out tiki bar needs. Just up the street from Suzi’s is the amazing Betty Danger’s Country Club with giant ferris wheel and all. It’s a good thing both places are just a few blocks away because I could spend a whole weekend going back and forth. This week Insane Dane went to a place called Shelter Island. It’s so sheltered that not even

" This week we decided to finally use our met grinders and cook up some Mexican Chorizo. And if you can't handle the spice, we have some Japanese inspired Meyer Lemon Scallop Ceviche. Mine came out Pink! YAY! We also tried Fish Brewing's Hodgson's Bitter End IPA. And there's even more. ID brings you fries two ways, Gott's Roadside, College Food and Ward Eight.
