#10: Chamoy
Chamoy — it’s Mexico’s ruby-red, fruity, sour, salty, savory, spicy flavor combination. The mere thought of chamoy makes ones mouth water. But, what is it? Where did it come from? And where is it headed? We go on a “voyage de la chamoyage” all over LA to find out. Thank you to our guests. Bricia and Paulina Lopez from Guelatguetza; Javier Cabral and Gab Chabran from LA Taco; Wesley Avila and Philip Newman from Guerrilla Tacos; Andrew Chau from Boba Guys; Danny Trejo from Trejo’s Tacos; Andrea Onofre from Silverlake Wine and Yolo Mezcal; Eli Horowitz from the Homecoming podcast and TV show; Jorge “Joy” Alvarez-Tostado from Tacos 1986; Norma Cervantes from the fruit cart on 7th Street and Lucas; Lesley Tellez; the ladies from Mercado in Boyle Heights; and Charlie aka Chamba — all day, every day. Kief O. Nilsson sang “Chamoy to the World.” The Podcast Police Officer was played by “Nasty” Nate Welch, the security guard from RFFP episode 6 “Natural Wineberg.” The RFFP theme song is by Dr. Bobby Halvorson. James Braithwaite drew the mustachio’d pickle logo. Thank you Michael Kalifa for your mixing help. Additional / incidental music in this episode by Johannes Brahms, Gioachino Rossini, Richard, Blue Dot Sessions, Grupo Kual, Tia Carrere, Voids, DJ Rob Yo Heart, and Harry Nilsson. Thank you to the businesses who welcomed us in to record: Guelatguetza in Koreatown, Dulceria Candy Spot in Long Beach, Tropical Juice in Highland Park, Guerrilla Tacos in the Arts District, and Norma Cervantes’ fruit cart on 7th Street and Lucas near the 110 freeway in downtown LA.
