About Katzenjammer: A Day in the Life of Two Restaurant Owners
Chef Jamie Adams and Leonardo Moura are co-owners and business partners with over 40 years of experience in the restaurant industry. We all love to eat well, drink and be merry and we got pretty good at selling that whole thing with our two Atlanta based restaurants, il Giallo and Lagarde, so we've decided to share our food and wine experience in a podcast that covers our experiences and expertise with a great sense of humor and without taking ourselves too bloody seriously. Welcome to Katzenjammer! We talk about food, wine, restaurant life and the associated uproar and chaos that comes along for the ride! Fasten your seatbelts, we jump down rabbit holes with vigor and determination!
Episode 30: Season Finale: Jamie’s “Chopped” Experience (the Highs, the Lows and Everything In Between)
It’s the season finale of Katzenjammer, and in this special episode Jamie is sharing the behind-the-scenes of his 2013 appearance on the popular TV show Chopped!
Although he didn’t end up winning, it was an amazing experience that Jamie still treasures to this day. In this episode he reveals what surprised him most about being a contestant on the show, and one thing he would go back and change in his set up if he were to do it again.
Jamie shares what it was like to hear that he had prepared the “best piece of fish” ever on Chopped according to the judges, the moment he knew that he ultimately wasn’t going to be named the winner, and whether or not he would do it again if the producers reached out to him about a reunion show!
The last year has been a journey with its share of challenges, and Jamie and Leo wouldn’t have been able to keep going without the support of everyone through the last year. From the bottom of their hearts, they wish to give a big THANK YOU and are excited to see you back again when Katzenjammer returns!

Episode 28: Part 3: Selecting the Right Food to Serve (and Getting Your Crew in Place) at James Beard House
In this episode the James Beard House saga continues, as Jamie shares with Leo and listeners more about his experience putting on a dinner in this historic setting. Today in Part 3 Jamie describes the dishes he chose to make that day, and why he selected the food he did for this event.
