East Village sushi newcomer Rosella skews the common practice of importing fish from Japan, opting instead to source from local and regional waters in an effort to minimize its carbon footprint. The restaurant is also home to the talented trio of Chefs Jeff Miller and Yoni Lang, who were previously head chefs at Austin’s critically acclaimed, Uchiko, and beverage director and wine expert, TJ Provenzano, formerly of Brooklyn Oenology. We catch up with all three and find out what the new restaurant’s ride has been like so far. 

We’re excited to welcome Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Jocelyn Mackenzie back on the show. When she last visited in 2013, Jocelyn was making beautiful harmonies as one-third of the indie-folk trio Pearl and the Beard. She returns now to share with us her solo debut album, PUSH, which was written entirely for string quartet, and envisioned as “a chamber pop homage to healing through radical self-love.”Snacky Tunes: Music is the Main Ingredient, Chefs and Their Music (Phaidon), is now on shelves at bookstores around the world.
