Tin Roof Farm Radio Show
Chef John Malik is Greenville’s first chef with a James Beard nomination. He loves a funky diner just as much as a white tablecloth brasserie and he'll introduce you to your favorite chefs, coffee roasters, food writers, farmers, craft brewers, restaurant owners, cocktail crafters, butchers, and wine geeks. Broadcast from John & Amy's Tin Roof Farm farm in Piedmont, SC, they'll share insight into the growing season, the restaurant business, great meals, raising chickens, and keeping honey bees.
