You might notice that this week's guest is a bit... untethered (in the best possible way). Though he might not be tied to any particular concept, or restaurant, or project, when we talk about the "colorful characters" in our intro, our guest is exactly the kind of person we're referring to. He harbors a vast quantity of knowledge about various foods -- and beyond that, he's an enthusiast who truly loves immersing himself in cuisine and culture, in the intrinsic experience and community-making of good hospitality. Pull up a chair and join us for a round of drinks, legend telling, and genuine cheer with the good man Rob Lopata. We're talking The Urinator (#1 and #2), food fandom in 80s and 90s Chicago, the Beef-a-thon, the Wasabi incident, and so much more. All hail Pigman!
