Friday Found Treasures KRML Radio Broadcasts – 2025

Edible Monterey Bay managing editor Mark C. Anderson and KRML general manager Jeff White discuss the local food scene every Friday at noon on KRML, 94.7FM.

You know how it goes. Two great things come together and elevate one another further. 

Maybe it’s beer and barbecue, Santa Cruz beaches and gourmet deli sandwiches, or Monterey Bay sea bass and Salinas Valley Chardonnay. 

Here it happens with KRML 94.7 and Edible Monterey Bay, with a regular radio collaboration that airs every Friday after 12pm noon to discuss all of the above combinations and a whole bunch more. 

It’s a lot of fun, with a lot of great food-and-drink news, tips and revelations built in. Here appear archives of the FFT spots to date.
