This week, in preparation for Season 5 of Cobra Kai, we're re-releasing our episode with Dan Ahdoot (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2297222/) . who plays Anoush on the show. He’s a standup comic, actor, writer, producer, and podcast host. He's also the host of Food Network's Raid the Fridge (https://www.foodnetwork.com/shows/raid-the-fridge) . He's garnered fans as a character actor on the shows The Crew, Bajillion Dollar Propertie$, Shameless, Workaholics, and Disney Channel’s Kickin’ It.
On his podcast Green Eggs and Dan, he takes a new look at “you are what you eat,” and brings listeners in on conversations about food, life, and more, with some of his most entertaining friends. Not your typical food show, Green Eggs and Dan is the type of food podcast you’d make with your friends around the table, roasting more than just food.
Dan’s show has hit #1 on the podcast charts, and his guests have included Jacques Pepin, Ruth Reichl, Padma Lakshmi, Henry Winkler, Paul F Tompkins, and Iliza Schlesinger.
On the show, we talk about Persian food and cooking, luxury food ingredients, and the dining scene in general. You’ll hear how he went from pre-med to stand-up and acting, and now podcasting. So, is Dan Team Daniel or Team Johnny?
