LIVE this Sunday, November 5th at 635pm Small Bites on Wildfire Radiowith Derek away, Glenn and #Actor John DiRenzo will play. We are thrilled to welcome Robyn Eckhardt who is an American food and travel journalist based in Piemonte, Italy. Her writing and recipes have appeared in SAVEUR Magazine, the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Cured, The Economist's monthly magazine 1843, SBS Feast magazine, AFAR, Food & Wine, Travel + Leisure and the Chicago Tribune. Since 2005, Robyn has published, with 'Istanbul and Beyond' photographer David Hagerman, the food blog EatingAsia, which focuses on ingredients, food markets, cooks and food artisans, and culinary cultures in Turkey, south east Asia and beyond. In 2014 and 2016 EatingAsia was named Editor's Choice, Culinary Travel in the Saveur Food Blog Awards. EatingAsia has been featured and/or cited for excellence by the New York Times, BBC, Food52, Australian Gourmet Traveller, The Guardian, The Splendid Table, CNN, and other media. 'Istanbul and Beyond' is the result of Robyn's nearly two decades-long passion for Turkey, its food and its people. After her first trip to Turkey in 2008 Robyn studied Turkish at University of California, Berkeley, while returning annually to Turkey to travel. Between 2011 and 2015, as they conducted research for 'Istanbul and Beyond', Robyn and David clocked more than 16 months on the road, covering more than 15,000 miles, in Istanbul and Turkey's eastern half. Several of the regions featured in 'Istanbul and Beyond' are little referenced by food writers outside of Turkey; many recipes in the book have never before been published in English. From village home cooks, community bakers, café chefs, farmers, and fishermen, they have assembled a broad, one-of-a-kind collection of authentic, easy-to-follow recipes: “The Imam Fainted” Stuffed Eggplant; Pillowy Fingerprint Flatbread; Pot-Roasted Chicken with Caramelized Onions; Stovetop Lamb Meatballs with Spice Butter; Artichoke Ragout with Peas and Favas; Green Olive Salad with Pomegranate Molasses; Apple and Raisin Hand Pies. Many of these have never before been published in English. When not reporting, writing, developing recipes, or simply traveling to eat, Robyn organizes food and photography workshops with David in Turkey, Italy, and Asia.
Then in studio we are happy to have join us Executive Chef Jenn Grosskruger of Ocean Prime. Chef Jenn’s love of cooking developed at a young age, when she would prepare simple meals for her family.

There are currently 14 locations from coast to coast, with the original location, Mitchell's Ocean Club, in their hometown of Columbus, Ohio.
