Eva Longoria is anything but your typical Hollywood star. For one, she LOVES to eat. In this episode, she tells José about growing up on a Texas ranch, eating her way through Mexico for a new TV show and her advocacy for farmworkers who "have always been essential workers."  

Jen Psaki, President Biden's first press secretary, is known for keeping her cool under fire. But apparently those White House reporters never bothered to ask her about her cooking! Listen in as Jen confesses (and José soothes) her kitchen insecurities and talks about what it's really like to work in the White House. 

Dominique Crenn, chef-owner of San Franciscos's Atelier Crenn, was the first woman in America to win three Michelin stars--and no wonder, when its menu includes elegant, ethereal dishes like razor clams with carrot foam and velvety black squid ink. But on today's episode, José and Dominique talk about more personal subjects, including Dominique's search for her birth mother and the real reasons she came to America. (Hint: One is a classic 1970s detective show.)  

José is back with a new recommendation for One Good Thing--the segement in which he chooses foods, ideas, books that you need more of in your life. This week: sardines! Also: José gets in touch with his inner vegan to share recipes where you won't miss the meat. 

Secretary of State Antony Blinken joins José to talk about his childhood--wait till you hear about his most memorable meal as a child in Paris!--and to discuss the U.S. efforts to end the war in Ukraine, the vital role food plays in many international conflicts, and how we can strengthen global food security. 

In this episode, José talks to Andrew Zimmern, the host of the popular TV show Bizarre Foods. But the story of how Andrew became the Andrew Zimmern we all know is equally remarkable. He conquered drug addiction and become a tireless advocate for those still struggling with drug and alcohol. He’s also one of our country’s great thinkers about food and its role in our society. Plus, José answers listener questions about WCK.

José introduces a new segment on the show today: One Good Thing. In it, he gives his personal recommendation for foods, ideas, books that you need more of in your life. This week: pitaya! (And if you don't know what that is: listen!) Also: José talks with remarkable candor to a listener about managing his weight and eating healthily, despite the perils of his job.

Being a parent is the hardest (and the very best) job in the world. Listen in as José's daughters mercilessly tease--and love on--their famous dad as they recount stories of filming with him in Spain.
