This week, Besha Rodell, Chief Restaurant Critic, The Age/Good Food, lover of all things vintage, describes her particular obsession with vintage glassware.
Besha Rodell, Chief Restaurant Critic, The Age/Good Food, casts her gaze back on the food scene that was in 2023 and makes her predictions for 2024.
Simon and Richo have a great chat with Besha about the life of a restaurant reviewer and some of fun stories. @thewineshowaustralia @danmurphy_richard @BeshaRodell
Everyday travelers are fed thousands of meals in the air and at sea. Transport food has come a long way since the first meal – a cold chicken sandwich – was served in-flight in 1919.Besha Rodell, chief dining critic at The Age, Good Food Australia and Good Weekend magazine, has eaten her way around the globe.She charts the rise and fall of transport dining, from the advent of flying and transcontinental cruises to the mass marketing of airlines today.This was first broadcast on October 15, 2022.
All the world's great cities have some things in common and fantastic food is one of them. But what happens if a city doesn't have a chief restaurant critic? Besha Rodell, the recently appointed Chief Restaurant Critic for The Age and Good Weekend discusses the role of a great food writer and why she prefers to remain anonymous. Then it's time to visit Sydney's newest herbarium at the Australian Botanic Garden in Mount Annan. Denise Ora, Chief Executive of the Royal Botanic Gardens and Domain Trust, and Brett Summerell, Director Research and Chief Botanist, join Tim Entwisle for an amble through the new facility and discuss why they're critical to conserving plants and fighting climate change. Annie and Jonathan just can't get enough of the humble spud. In the latest edition of Kitchen Rudimental, Annie Smithers teaches Jonathan how to master a Potato Terrine with Gruyère. And finally, Colin Bisset explores the Tower House in London's Holland Park. It's the work of William Burges, an architect whose small but significant output represents a high point in the Gothic Revival. This is everything that minimalism is not.
Jennifer continues her conversation with food critic and New York Times columnist Besha Rodell talking about the future of restaurants, how the pandemic will change dining moving forward as well as the difficulties of working as a food critic.

Today on GBH Out Loud, you’ll hear Besha Rodell read her House Culture story called “The Pub, the Farm, and the Forest — A Return to Narnia,” published on November 14, 2019. Our House Culture series goes beyond beer—it’s a place where we can share stories of critical engagement, and ask readers to look closely at the parts of life that make it worth drinking. In one of our most recent House Culture pieces, we asked Besha, who is a food and culture writer (she currently works for the New York Times reporting on the dining scene in Australia) to write a piece for us. As she shares, sometimes the stories closest to us—the ones about our very identity and the way we interact with the world—are the most challenging, and rewarding, to write. Before Besha starts reading, you’ll hear her share how this beautiful essay came together—follow along as she reads by checking out her article at GoodBeerHunting.com. This is Besha Rodell reading her article, “The Pub, the Farm, and the Forest — A Return to Narnia.” Listen in.

Ben: "What did mayo do to you, Jon?" (crosstalk) Jon: "It's gross and I hate it." / Besha: "It's a long story." [pause] Jon: "Well, it's only six words."
In this episode, Besha hits upon the notion that we need a sound effect to play whenever I ask "are there notes for that one?" which I think is true, but I also think we need a different one for when there are notes. Cat meow? Reggaeton airhorn? Let us know your thoughts! Taking nominations now!!

What would happen if you wrote down every stray idea you had throughout your day, every day, for years at a time? If you're Jon, you end up with hundreds upon hundreds of them that you never use. It's time they saw the light: Jon's recruited his friend Besha and their pals to comb through the pile and see what they find. We guarantee at least 5% of every episode will be vaguely educational in some way.
episodefifty: “James Beard-Plucking + Netflix & COOKED” (w/ guest Besha Rodell of LA WEEKLY)
Colin Marshall sits down in Silver Lake with Besha Rodell, who has written about food in New York and Atlanta, and last year came to Los Angeles to become the Weekly's restaurant critic. They discuss the secret appeal and non-Australian origins of the Outback Steakhouse's Bloomin' Onion; her Australian youth, and the friends who insisted she join them at Koala Blue after she came to the States; what counts as authentic Australian cuisine, and the tortured question of "authenticity" in Los Angeles; her concerns with what people really eat; her predecessor Jonathan Gold's influence on the city's food culture; the appeal of putting yourself utterly at a restaurant's mercy; "ego-driven" versus "devotional" cuisine; the strange modern prevalence of kale salads; her preference for odd and uneven dishes versus perfect and derivative ones; how she got to know Los Angeles in the three weeks she had before moving here and then assembling the Weekly's 99 Essential Restaurants list; the paradox of more money on the west side and less food there; how far you have to go before a restaurant doesn't count as "in Los Angeles" anymore — or whether such a distance exists; the spread of this city's culinary interestingness, and how it compares, culturally, to Atlanta's divide between "Inside the Perimeter" and "Outside the Perimeter"; how ideally, a restaurant critic would move to a new Los Angeles neighborhood every two months; the advantages of the "bogus" system of star ratings, and why chefs want their stars; the current blowup in food interest, and what the internet has to do with it; how she came up through restaurant culture, and came to appreciate how you can't be "kind of a cook"; how you can't understand Los Angeles if you don't eat much here, and how best to understand it when you do go eating.
