Hour 2 - Bill Esparza joins Neil to talk about the upcoming Taqueando After Dark event in Los Angeles. Guests roam from room to room, each one showcasing a different regional specialty from the street food traditions linking Baja California, Sinaloa, Tijuana, Valle de Guadalupe and LA. Giving back: a portion of every ticket benefits CIELO (Comunidades Indígenas en Liderazgo), an Indigenous women-led nonprofit supporting Indigenous communities across Los Angeles. 

After that, Adam Weisblatt, author of For the Love of Restaurants: An Insider's Guide from Daydreams to Opening Night, discusses his new book. Adam is the 2026 James Beard Award Semifinalist for Outstanding Restaurateur and co-founder of Last Word Hospitality. His book is a playful, soup-to-nuts guide to creating a restaurant, and a love letter to those who make the struggle palatable, the resilience possible, and the journey more fun—restaurant people.
