In the middle of Covid, in a not-so-obvious part of San Luis Obispo, a pizza place called My Friend Mike’s opened up. In its history, the building off Broad Street had been a Lemos Feed & Pet Supply, as well as a tire shop. The windows are also mirrored so you can’t see in, but when I walked inside to pick up a couple beautiful pizzas made by Mike Radakovich and his team, I was surprised at how warm and inviting the interior is. It feels kind of like a clubhouse with excellent wood-fired pizza and a killer international wine list. So I asked Mike on the podcast, and because it’s tiny San Luis Obispo, we know pretty much all the same people. So, warning: this episode bandies about lots of names of folks you may or may not know. Try to hang in there. And by the way, check the show notes for the link to the Theatre Stories sketch on Saturday Night Live. In the episode I said it featured Christopher Walken, but it was actually John Malkovich. Website: myfriendmikes.com Instagram: @myfriendmikes Theatre Stories on SNL
