The Banter

The Guys talk about restaurant reality shows and how they are not grounded in reality.

The Conversation

The Restaurant Guys welcome Deborah Koons Garcia, widow of Jerry Garcia and creator of the documentary The Future of Food. This is part two where they discuss more of the concerns of genetically engineered products, herbicide overuse and they wonder if some of the critters its killing is us. 

The Inside Track

The Guys had so much to talk with Deborah in the previous show that they spontaneously invited her back to be on again. Their conversation went to food access and what we can do to help provide to those in areas of need. 

“ They need healthy soils, they need roads, they need infrastructure so they can get their crop out, they need stable markets. There's all kinds of things they need, but the patented seed from a corporation that is to be used with a chemical…how are they going to afford to buy Roundup?” Deborah Koons Garcia on The Restaurant Guys Podcast 2005
