Rob Levitt + Garden Centre

Episode Summary

Rob Levitt is the Chef de Cuisine and Head Butcher of Chicago’s lauded Publican Quality Meats. He discusses with us how the COVID-19 pandemic has compromised America’s meatpacking industry. And though things make look grim at times, Rob shares with us how this crisis can actually provide the impetus to change the industrial food complex, and why supporting local butchers and farmers is more important than ever. UK Singer-songwriter Max Levy joins us from across the pond to give us a listen to his genre-melding indie collective, Garden Centre. Max has been hunkered down in the English countryside during the pandemic spending his time contemplating the world at large, writing music, exploring the woods and poking around a certain Victorian-era fly-tip. Garden Centre’s latest EP, Pipe, is out now.
