California Pizza Kitchen Was Pasta First? feat. Holly Brown

Viola Davis' favorite chain?

  • California Pizza Kitchen has some truly fascinating claims - from pizzas innovated in their kitchen to being the first chain to outlaw smoking in their restaurants - I dive into all of it with comedian Holly Brown
  • Holly used to work at CPK, which makes her the first former employee of the restaurant-of-the-week I've had as a guest on the show
  • The Eat Deets will teach you about how CPK was originally a pasta concept
  • A baffling viral mishap regarding mac & cheese
  • The Secret Menu: Legal Eats
  • Not only is CPK Viola Davis' favorite chain restaurant, but Holly served her!
  • A Yelper writes an absolute epic about crossing the highest reward tier threshold at California Pizza Kitchen
  • "Fine" Dining is now on video! Head on over to my YouTube to watch this episode!
