Em uma discreta rua de West Hollywood, onde apenas 14 clientes por noite conseguem um lugar à mesa, uma brasileira está na cozinha de um dos restaurantes mais exclusivos do mundo. O Somni, comandado pelo chef catalão Aitor Zabala, conquistou três estrelas Michelin apenas sete meses após a inauguração – e todas de uma vez, um feito raríssimo e histórico na gastronomia mundial. Cleide Klock, correspondente da RFI em Los Angeles Entre os cozinheiros responsáveis por manter esse alto padrão, está a capixaba Brenda Liz Rocha Vieira, de apenas 30 anos. Sua história revela não apenas o caminho de uma brasileira até um dos endereços mais cobiçados da alta gastronomia, mas também como a profissão de chef ganhou uma nova dimensão nas últimas décadas. Há pouco mais de 20 anos, cursar Gastronomia ainda era visto no Brasil como uma escolha pouco convencional. Hoje, impulsionada por escolas especializadas, reality shows e pelo reconhecimento internacional da culinária brasileira, a profissão passou a atrair jovens que enxergam na cozinha uma carreira de excelência. "Eu acho que mudou, sim. Eu acho que tem um pouco mais de respeito pela profissão. Antes, era a segunda, terceira opção de carreira", diz a chef. A paixão pela cozinha, ou a vontade de comer bem, veio muito antes das estrelas Michelin entrarem no seu horizonte. "Eu sempre tive muita curiosidade na cozinha, desde pequena. Cresci com a minha avó, e ela é uma cozinheira muito boa. Eu mudei para a casa da minha mãe quando era adolescente e ela não cozinhava. Eu comecei a sentir muita falta da comida da minha avó e quis muito aprender a cozinhar." Brenda formou-se em Gastronomia em Vila Velha (ES) e começou a carreira em restaurantes brasileiros até seguir para o exterior, onde transformou cada país por onde passou em uma etapa de aprendizado. "Eu sempre busquei trabalhar em restaurantes que tenham alguma coisa que eu não sei e preciso aprender", conta. Essa busca a levou para o Canadá e também para Barcelona, onde trabalhou em restaurantes estrelados. Foi ali que começou a acompanhar o trabalho de Aitor Zabala, um dos nomes mais respeitados da gastronomia espanhola. Quando soube que o chef reabriria o Somni em Los Angeles, decidiu criar a própria oportunidade: comprou passagem e pediu para passar um dia trabalhando no local para conhecer a cozinha. Brenda insistiu por uma vaga e o que não imaginava era que o chef também enxergaria nela o perfil que procurava. Segundo Zabala, experiência e talento podem ser adquiridos ao longo da carreira, mas o que ele considera indispensável é outra característica: “atitude”, contou o badalado chef espanhol. Brenda mostrou que tem esse ingrediente e o chef trouxe a brasileira para o seu elenco. Disciplina por trás das três estrelas Ao contrário do glamour que muitos imaginam, trabalhar em um restaurante três estrelas Michelin significa viver uma rotina rígida de disciplina constante. Em Los Angeles – cidade cheia de estrelas do cinema –, há apenas dois restaurantes que ostentam o topo do guia francês, que leva em conta a qualidade dos ingredientes, o domínio das técnicas culinárias, harmonia e equilíbrio dos sabores, a personalidade do chef e a consistência ao longo do tempo. Para conseguir o feito, o caminho é árduo e para manter a constelação, é necessário rigor e precisão absoluta. "O que eu quero muito é treinar o que você tem que aprender como profissional para ter um restaurante desse nível. O que eu vejo todo dia é muita disciplina, foco e consistência. Todos os dias, nos mínimos detalhes, são milhares de detalhes. Aqui, tudo é feito todos os dias. Nada congelado. Nada cortado antes. Nada. Tudo chega todos os dias, tudo é feito todos os dias". Conseguir uma mesa no Somni não é fácil. O restaurante, que recebe clientes do mundo inteiro, possui apenas 14 lugares e as reservas costumam se esgotar rapidamente. A clientela é confidencial, mas já passaram pelo local Selena Gomez, Kanye West e Aaron Paul, astro de Breaking Bad. A cozinha mistura raízes espanholas e catalãs com ingredientes californianos e técnicas francesas, sempre em um menu altamente criativo. Para Brenda, trabalhar nesse nível também significa cozinhar para pessoas que conhecem profundamente gastronomia e que investem muito na experiência. O sonho continua sendo brasileiro Mesmo construindo uma carreira internacional entre Canadá, Espanha e Estados Unidos, Brenda nunca deixou de pensar na cozinha brasileira. Ela já levou inspirações nacionais para restaurantes onde trabalhou anteriormente, mas ainda não teve o gostinho de trazê-las para Hollywood. Embora nunca tenha visitado o Brasil, Aitor Zabala demonstra curiosidade pela culinária do país. Ele admite à RFI que conhece apenas os pratos mais tradicionais, mas acredita que ainda há muito a descobrir. O chef conta que já conversa com Brenda sobre futuras colaborações com sabores brasileiros. Mas, por enquanto, o projeto dele é seguir com as estrelas conquistadas com sua própria alquimia. Enquanto isso, Brenda vai descobrindo e aproveitando esse brilho, e aperfeiçoa a receita do seu próprio sonho: aprender entre os melhores do mundo para, um dia, colocar a alta gastronomia brasileira ainda mais em evidência. "Eu quero abrir um restaurante de comida brasileira, um fine dining brasileiro. Algo que remeta ao Brasil, à minha trajetória, a tudo que aprendi, mas a minha comida é brasileira."

400 Moo Deng Neil the Seal Comic Con Doug Brode Shelli InterviewDoom Scrolling IntroThe Foos made it to 400 episodes. Joe and Steph celebrate with VMC cocktails, reflect on 8 years of The Foobar Show, and explain why some older episodes have disappeared from platforms over time. No huge blowout, no fake promises — just 400 episodes, a toast, and the usual chaos.The animal kingdom takes over the top of the show: Moo Deng officially turns 2, proving that the internet's favorite pygmy hippo is still the queen of slippery rage, bouncy pork energy, and conservation awareness. Then Neil the Seal finally takes his 2,200-pound chaotic ass back into the ocean after weeks of lounging around Tasmania, blocking roads, flattening signs, and refusing to respect anything vertical.Joe and Steph also explain why the podcast has been spotty lately: life, work, band stuff, Steph's Sunday schedule, and the massive backyard facelift happening because Steph volunteered the house for her brother's baby shower. There's also some Medieval Times talk because sometimes you just need dinner, jousting, horses, and giant beer steins.Geeking Out starts with San Diego Comic-Con: they didn't get badges, of course, but there's still plenty happening outside the convention — themed cafes, Paramount at the Lodge, Hello Kitty, Magic: The Gathering Marvel Super Heroes, Star Trek experiences, and all the badge-free chaos that makes downtown San Diego worth visiting during Comic-Con week.They also hit LA Comic Con tickets going on sale, with the convention returning October 30 through November 1 and guests already including Aaron Paul, Dean Norris, and performers from K-Pop Demon Hunters.Then it's long-awaited movie news: Legend of the White Dragon finally has a release date. The Jason David Frank-led, Power Rangers-adjacent action movie arrives August 28, and the Foos have been waiting years for this one.Avatar fans get love too: Aang: The Last Airbender is coming to Paramount+ on July 25 as a movie featuring an older Aang and the gang trying to save the world again. Joe and Steph revisit why the original Avatar series still holds up as one of the best animated shows ever made — adult themes, perfect pacing, emotional stakes, and Appa trauma included.Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey also enters the chat, with Matt Damon as Odysseus and a massive cast including Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, Charlize Theron, and Jon Bernthal. Practical ships, real locations, giant crowds, IMAX cameras, Greek mythology, and enough complicated storytelling to make Nolan feel right at home.The big feature this week is an interview with returning guest Doug Brode, storyboard/concept artist and author of the Ship saga and the Shelli synthetic crime series. Doug talks about Shelli: R-Evolution, why it is not actually the final Shelli book, how the series has grown, the challenge of writing sequels that stand alone, AI and synthetics, keeping villains understandable, writing in silence, short chapters, and why Shelli's world keeps expanding. He also shares that the first Shelli book is getting a 99-cent Kindle BookBub deal starting July 15.

Another fun week on BEHIND THE LENS! Another terrific film and filmmaker! That's right! This week, it's all about THE GET OUT with director/co-writer DERRICK BORTE. What a fun ride! Wow! I laughed. I was entertained. I love the story. I love the third-act twist. The cast, led by Russell Crowe, is phenomenal. The production values are top-notch. Of course, how could they not be with Brendan Galvin as your DP and Mark Warner as your editor? Directed by Derrick Borte with screenplay by Derrick and Daniel Forte, based on the novel STRIP by Thomas Perry, THE GET OUT stars Russell Crowe, Luke Evans, Teresa Palmer, with the scene-stealing duo of Nina Dobrev and Aaron Paul. A fun premise, nightclub owner Manco (Russell Crowe) is on the verge of leaving his dangerous past behind for retirement with his girlfriend Sunny (Teresa Palmer). When masked gunmen Carrie and Jeff (Nina Dobrev, Aaron Paul) rob him and he finds himself squeezed by ruthless cartels, a mysterious newcomer, Joe Carver, (Luke Evans) arrives with an interest in buying Manco's business – money laundering and all. With danger closing in from all sides, Manco must navigate a deadly web of deception, power, and survival – where escape may no longer be an option. http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com

In this episode of Pixelated Playgrounds, Bryan and Josh suit up for Dispatch, the 2025 superhero workplace comedy developed and published by AdHoc Studio, originally released on PlayStation 5 and Windows. Founded by Telltale Games alumni including Michael Choung, Nick Herman, Dennis Lenart, and Pierre Shorette AdHoc brings their episodic storytelling DNA to a story about Robert Robertson, a powerless third-generation hero who, after the destruction of his Mecha Man suit, lands a job as a dispatcher for the Superhero Dispatching Network, managing a team of dysfunctional, reformed villains known as the Z-Team. It's a tale as old as time featuring a group of screw-ups slowly becoming a found family, but Dispatch pulls it off with so much craft and confidence that it feels fresh all over again.We dig into what makes Dispatch tick as both a game and an interactive series, examining its tight episodic structure, its gorgeous animation, and the way its licensed needle drops lend it the rhythm and credibility of a prestige streaming show. We also talk through the tension at the heart of the experience: this is a game that is, at times, less played than watched, and we explore whether the dispatching mini-game with its spiderweb stat graphs, skill-matching, and ongoing mission storylines does enough to make you feel meaningfully invested in the heroes you're sending into the field. Standout voice performances, particularly Aaron Paul's restrained but surprisingly expressive take on Robert Robertson, and a genuinely well-written ensemble help carry the load. The humor occasionally veers crude or cliché, but that's half the charm. So clock in with Bryan and Josh as we take the call on AdHoc's confident, polished, and wonderfully familiar Dispatch.Three Word Reviews:Bryan — Clichés Executed FlawlesslyJosh — Its Super Effective

My newsletter: https://simonowens.substack.com/ For years, Hollywood writer Aaron Tracy built his career inside the traditional television system, writing for shows like Law & Order and navigating the endless cycle of pilots, canceled series, and development purgatory that defines much of the TV business. But over the last several years, Tracy has quietly carved out a very different kind of entertainment career: producing serialized audio dramas for platforms like Audible and iHeart. Along the way, he's worked with everyone from Aaron Paul to Lizzy Caplan to Glenn Powell, helping pioneer a form of storytelling that sits somewhere between television, audiobooks, and podcasting. In a recent interview, Tracy explained why audio dramas offer writers far more creative freedom than television, how he packages and sells narrative shows to platforms like Audible and iHeart, and the surprisingly lean production process behind large-scale audio series.
