MUNCHIES: The Podcast

The conclusion of our two-part special with the legend himself, Jacques Pépin.

Jacques Pépin is France's greatest gift to the United States. As we celebrate 50 episodes of the podcast, the culinary legend joins us to reflect on his incredible 70-year career in food.

The MUNCHIES cookbook is finally out and we're back in Los Angeles on a book tour. We've said it before: LA has evolved into one of the greatest food destinations anywhere. And to celebrate that, we're meeting up with two native Angelenos who love this city more than anyone: Bethany Cosentino and Bobb Bruno of Best Coast. Also returning is a very special surprise guest, Lili Hayes.

Black Lips live shows are the stuff of legend and their music is one of Atlanta's greatest exports. They also know their food. We're talking Southern cuisine, the secrets of eating well on the road, and how to cure your worst hangover before performing on stage.

We sit down with Chris Grosso, executive producer of MUNCHIES and VICELAND, for a behind-the-scenes look at our hit program Chef's Night Out and how it inspired the new cookbook of the same name.

On this very special episode, Mr. Wonderful himself joins us in the VICE studios to celebrate the release of his magnum opus, Fuck, That's Delicious. We talk truffles, super smellers, and how he's living his best life possible. And be sure to check back in two weeks, when we'll return with Action to answer all the listener questions you've been waiting for.

Lili Hayes is the world's #1 ice cream enthusiast and our best internet friend. You probably know her from Instagram: @Lili_Hayes.
