Mandy Hwang started taking photos of her food and writing about her experiences simply for her own enjoyment and memory making. Little did she know that her personal food journal would eventually turn into an influential Sacramento food instagram page.

We talk about Mandy’s deep love of food and Sacramento, the great friends she has met through her instagram page, and the best way to eat cheetos.

We’re back!! It’s been a long road back to the podcast for us (Max and Neill) but we are so excited to get going again. WE already have a bunch of interviews recorded and will get back to posting them every two weeks.

This week we re-launch with an interview with Molly Dennis. Molly has worked all over Sacramento (and the country) and know works for Diageo, a liquor distributor which is responsible for putting some of the most interesting and tasty spirits behind all your favorite bars in the city.

We talk about her history in hospitality, including her start at Red Robin, her favorite liquor brand stories and watching the craft cocktail boom come to Sacramento.

Mecha Mucho roughly translates to “lots and lots.” For Chef and Owner Ryan Ota that means lots and lots of smiles, lots and lots of people saying, “Damn this is good!” and lots and lots of sandwiches sold.

If you haven’t discovered it, Mecha Mucho is cranking out amazing egg salad sandwiches on Shokupan (Japanese milk bread) with additional protein options from chicken katsu, to spam to sometimes even wagyu beef, out of the little street side window at Osaka-Ya on 10th street.

Ryan tells us about how he knew at a young age that his heart lied with food and after years of trying to work a corporate job he retreated to learning how to cook working at the famed Shack in east Sacramento, to cooking at Track 7 Brewery for several years to opening his own sandwich spot out of the window where he would line up as a kid in summer for a giant snow cone.

Listen to hear how Ryan took Mecha Mucho from an idea to a reality in just a few short weeks and how their success has exploded in just over 6 months.
