Food Republic•

What happens when a hilarious indie mockumentary about a cooking contest gets put on the shelf after its film festival premiere? Comedian, director, screenwriter and actor Cathryn Michon guests on today's episode to tell us how her 10-year-old film Cook-Off! is finally getting its theatrical release this Friday, via Lionsgate Premiere. The film features an exceptional ensemble cast, including Michon, Wendy McLaren-Covey, Melissa McCarthy, Gary Anthony Williams and W. Bruce Cameron. It's a tour de force of silly food jokes, physical comedy and satire about cooking competitions. We wrap things up on today's episode with chef Dale Talde's deepest, darkest thoughts about pizza. But first, the news:
