Chef Andrew Gruel – From FreedomFest 2025

With the Fourth of July upon us, our special guest this week is Chef Andrew Gruel, food entrepreneur, celebrity chef and television personality, and newly appointed Huntington Beach city councilman. We discuss how regulations and minimum wage mandates are hurting restaurants and other small businesses, how being a vocal conservative has impacted his career, and why he decided to become a city councilman. He also shares some ideas for how to cook with your family, from his terrific new book, Andrew Gruel’s Family Cookbook.
