Our hearts are heavy with the loss of our friend Jason Disu. We met Jason through Midnight Magic. He was an immensely talented musician, and just an incredible human being. He will be missed. We’re dedicating this show to him with an archived performance from Midnight Magic in our second half.We open the show with Chef Rashida Holmes of Los Angeles’ acclaimed Bridgetown Roti. Rashida was a restaurant sous chef before the pandemic devastated the hospitality industry. Needing a pivot, she dug into her Bajan roots and launched Bridgetown Roti, which serves a variety of Caribbean dishes inspired by Rashida’s family. Snacky Tunes: Music is the Main Ingredient, Chefs and Their Music (Phaidon), is now on shelves at bookstores around the world. It features 77 of the world’s top chefs who share personal stories of how music has been an important, integral force in their lives. The chefs also give personal recipes and curated playlists too. It’s an anthology of memories, meals and mixtapes. Pick up your copy by ordering directly from Phaidon, or by visiting your local independent bookstore.

Rashida Holmes + Midnight Magic

This week I’m chatting with Rashida Holmes, the chef/owner of Bridgetown Roti. Rashida has worked at some legit spots in LA including the Freehand Hotel (which I named as one of my favorites for Conde Nast Traveler), Rustic Canyon and Botanica, but she’s shifted to showcase food from her Bajan background including patties and rotis — two iconic Caribbean dishes I fell in love with during my time in Barbados. She and I chatted about everything from the flavors of Barbados, to the innovative business model she’s planning for her upcoming brick-and-mortar in LA, and we also have candid conversation about both of our experiences coming out in the queer community. I really loved chatting with her over pina coladas, and I think you’ll really enjoy hearing her story too.
