Ashley Christensen & Mountain Animation

Darin meets up with Chef Ashley Christensen, Chef + Proprietor of AC Restaurants, in advance of the Annual Hot Luck Festival happening in Austin this Memorial Day Weekend (tickets available here)! We chat about her decades plus support of the culinary community, the reopening of Fox Liquor Bar, and her plans for attending concerts this season.  We then dig back into the archives to when we met up with Brooklyn bluegrass buskers, Zack Orion and Scott Murphy, better known as Mountain Animation. The duo went from the subway to the studio, and gave us a raucous performance.Snacky Tunes: Music is the Main Ingredient, Chefs and Their Music (Phaidon), is now on shelves at bookstores around the world.
