142: Mix Business with Pleasure with Ryan Alvarez and Adam Merrin, Founders of Husbands That Cook

Written By Rhodes Perry

Ryan Alvarez and Adam Merrin are two husbands that cook together in a small kitchen in a house on a hill in Eagle Rock, California. They met in 2001 in a recording studio where Ryan was singing with a jazz choir and Adam was the engineer. They fell in love, and five years later were married. Since its inception in 2015, their blog, Husbands That Cook, was a finalist for Saveur magazine’s Best How-To Cooking Blog Award (2016) and a Taste Talks Awards Nominee for Best Food Blog (2017). When they’re not cooking, they love being in nature, hiking, and spending time in their garden. Adam is also a musician, and one of the founding members of indie rock band The 88. Ryan sings classical music and acts in TV shows and commercials. Visit www.husbandsthatcook.com to learn more.
