Our good mate Louis Tikaram is back from L.A., taking a short break from cooking at his restaurant E.P. & L.P. and catching up with his favourite Sydney restaurants. Find out the challenges of running a restaurant in L.A., why South East Asian cuisine is so special and exactly how drunk Louis was when he filmed his Chef's Night Out video this year.  – The Mitchen is a podcast about food in Sydney, hosted by Andrew Levins and Mitch Orr.
