What food is Huey Lewis and The News? Featuring Leo Sidran

For this week's band to food pairing, we examine the history of California's 80’s rock staple, Huey Lewis and The News. My partner for the journey is none other than Oscar winning producer, multi-instrumentalist, Grammy nominated composer, as well as host of the podcast The Third Story, Leo Sidran. Together we will discuss the deep roots of Huey’s upbringing as a child of two parents on different coasts of the country, the history of Huey’s first major band Clover and how they got the gig of backing Elvis Costello for his first record, the controversy surrounding Ghostbusters and it’s similarity to one of The News’s biggest hits, as well as how the band is currently dealing with their frontman’s recent hearing loss diagnosis. All the while, we pair the band up with an amazingly delicious meal. Thanks to our sponsor Izzy’s Coffee, as well as bread provided by Bakeri in Brooklyn.
