EPISODE 006 - Christopher Olson

Christopher Olson is a police officer for the City and County of San Francisco Police Department. Officer Olson is currently a bomb technician assigned to the Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) division of the SWAT team. Chris has worked numerous positions in the SFPD for over fifteen years. Some of them include: all aspects of patrol, mayor's detail, undercover plainclothes investigations, and the Specialist team.

Chris was born and raised in San Francisco. I met him when we worked together at SFPD. We shared an awesome meal at Mission Chinese in San Francisco years ago and have been friends talking about & eating great food ever since. On this podcast episode Chris talks about his adventurous childhood eating, his travels all over the world, Lutefisk, local San Francisco food staples, willingness to try just about anything the menu, a little more insight to my cooking career, and his wife's family business Kevin's Natural Foods.
