Citizen Chef with Tom Colicchio

Cannabis Regulation and Food w/ Chef Andrea Drummer

Welcome back from a long holiday! <a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/meet-andrea-drummer-the-executive-chef-of-lowell-cafe">Chef Andrea Drummer </a>is the woman behind The Original Cannabis Cafe in West Hollywood, which is the first cafe in that city licensed to serve cannabis along with its menu. We’re going to talk to her about pioneering a new segment of the two industries, and how exactly one orchestrates pairings that feel more like ordering from a sommelier as opposed to a liquor store. We also talk to Senator Kim Jackson of Georgia, who was elected to the State Senate this year. She co-sponsored a bill to amend the state’s constitution to <a href="https://legiscan.com/GA/bill/SR165/2021">legalize recreational consumption</a>, all under the larger mission of criminal justice reform. She helps to remind us that this is about way more than just enjoying a nice high with our burgers and nachos.
