Tom Colicchio - Words and Music - 2012

Restaurateur, chef, and all around great food guy Tom Colicchio stopped by the Whole Wide World for a conversation and guest DJ set in advance of his appearance at the Guitar Mash benefit at City Winery this weekend. No surprise to learn that this five-time (!) James Beard award winner is not only a master foodie but has great taste in music. And as we learn in the interview, despite a bogglingly busy schedule, Tom still manages to find time to play guitar every day! Our conversation covers a lot of ground and really shines a light on the undeniable connection of food and music -- my 2 favorite things as well.
