#133Josh sits down with chef Greg Baxtrom fora a conversation about his newly released book, Nothing Matters but Delicious: A Radically Honest Cookbook released this week.  Greg dives into his thoughts on ambition, addiction, mental health, and what success actually looks like after the accolades arrive. Greg reflects on his rise through some of the world's most influential kitchens including Alinea, Per Se, Blue Hill at Stone Barns, and his breakout success with Olmsted in Brooklyn. He opens up about how achieving the dream of critical acclaim and industry recognition did not bring the fulfillment he expected, and how sobriety, therapy, and years of self-work forced him to reevaluate his relationship with restaurants, creativity, and himself. Along the way, the two discuss restaurant economics, burnout, ego, jealousy, friendship in the industry, and why so many chefs quietly wonder how they'll ever afford to grow old in this business.Greg shares some deeply personal experiences that shaped the cookbook, including cooking through rehab and recovery, navigating bipolar diagnoses, and rediscovering joy through simpler food. Greg explains why he wanted the book to feel practical rather than precious, shares stories from his days working for Grant Achatz and Dan Barber, and reflects on the pressure of opening acclaimed restaurants in Brooklyn.Links and resources

My guest is Caroline Bicks, whose new book Monsters in the Archives: My Year of Fear with Stephen King (Hogarth, 2026) became a bestseller shortly after release. After she was named the University of Maine's inaugural Stephen E. King Chair in Literature, Caroline Bicks became the first scholar to be granted extended access by King to his private archives, a treasure trove of manuscripts that document the legendary writer's creative process—most of them never before studied or published. The year she spent exploring King's early drafts and hand-written revisions was guided by one question: What makes Stephen King's writing stick in our heads and haunt us long after we've closed the book?Bicks focuses on five early works—The Shining, Carrie, Pet Sematary, 'Salem's Lot, and Night Shift—to reveal how he crafted his language, storylines, and characters. While tracking King's margin notes and editorial changes, she discovered scenes and alternative endings that never made it to print, but that King is allowing her to publish now. The book also includes interviews Bicks had with King along the way that reveal new insights into his writing process and personal history.Monsters in the Archives—authorized by Stephen King himself—is unlike anything ever published about the master of horror. It chronicles what Bicks found when she set out to unearth how King crafted some of his scariest, most iconic moments. But it's also a story about a grown-up English professor facing her childhood fears and getting to know the man whose monsters helped unleash them. --------- Caroline Bicks is the Stephen E. King Chair in Literature at the University of Maine, where she teaches courses in Shakespeare, early modern culture, and horror fiction. She is the author of Cognition and Girlhood in Shakespeare's World and Midwiving Subjects in Shakespeare's England; co-­ author of Shakespeare, Not Stirred: Cocktails for Your Everyday Dramas; and co-­ host of the Everyday Shakespeare podcast.

What makes a good sommelier? Encyclopedic knowledge of the wine world? The ability to sell anything to anyone? Or something more empathetic and human? If anyone knows it's Claire Paparazzo, Wine Director for Sunday Hospitality Group and the Hotel Chelsea. Drawing on her knowledge from such iconic places as Blue Hill at Stone Barns, Claire chats with Greg about the challenge of running four properties under one roof, the art of making wine approachable, and why the fad for natural wine and orange wine probably springs from somewhere deep and sick and wonderful in our collective psyche. And, she talks about the time she almost got mauled by a pig.PLUS, are AI somms coming for our jobs?

In 2009, the state of Maine ordered farmer Dan Brown to stop selling his raw milk. It kicked off a five-year legal battle that stoked the flames of Maine's dairy wars. But, after Farmer Brown lost his case and hung up his milking hat, things quieted down.  Twenty years later, raw milk has surged back into the zeitgeist. Influencers are saying it tastes like ice cream, RFK Jr. is taking shots of it at the White House, and Gwyneth Paltrow is putting it in her coffee. All of which makes for a pretty obvious question… What's the appeal? Is raw milk some kind of superfood? Or something to avoid at all costs?  Featuring Dan Brown, Andy Bisson, Danny Bisson, Nicole Martin, Pamela Ruegg, and Mary McGonigle-Martin.

You can watch that here.  The debate over raw vs. pasteurized milk has been happening for a long time. The Milk Question by Milton Joseph Rosenau is a fascinating (we daresay, poetic) read.  The Pasteurized Milk Ordinance is a nearly 500-page document that outlines the intricacies of milk regulation in the U.S. Here's its most current version.  The FDA fact-checks many different raw milk claims ⁠on this page⁠, including pasteurization's affect on vitamin content and potential probiotic benefit.

Joe Otway has built one of the most exciting restaurant groups in the country, and in this episode he tells the full story, properly. From Brighton to Manchester by way of Cape Town, New York, San Francisco and Copenhagen, Joe charts the long, obsessive road that led to Higher Ground, Bar Shrimp and Flawd. We meet him fresh off national recognition and immediately get into what really matters: not lists, not PR, but full dining rooms and food that actually moves people.At the heart of the conversation is Higher Ground's farm-led philosophy. Joe explains how Cinderwood Market Garden shapes everything, from baby cabbages grilled hours after picking to a cheddar tart that's never left the menu. He talks candidly about putting offal ragu on the menu, expecting guests to run a mile, and instead watching the North embrace it. It's serious cooking without the theatre, light-hearted on the surface but absolutely ruthless underneath.The origin story is wild. Joe and his partners meet at Dan Barber's Blue Hill at Stone Barns, get snowed in during a historic freeze, and decide they are going to build something together. What follows is an education in chaos and intuition: farm chores, goose slaughter, no written menus, thirty-five dish services changing daily. He then stages at Benu just before it wins its third star, learns brutal discipline in an Indian kitchen back in Brighton, and eventually lands in Copenhagen at Relæ, where the four-day week model reshapes how he thinks about leadership and life in restaurants.Along the way there are smashed windows in Copenhagen, racist guests thrown out in Cape Town, bike thieves, nightmare services, and a brutally honest take on chasing accolades in modern hospitality. We finish with Joe's ultimate three-course meal, from cockles on Brighton beach to chicken biryani and rhubarb and custard, and a glimpse at what might come next: a Manchester deli and farm shop to rival anything in London. It's funny, sharp and properly revealing, and if you care about where British food is heading, this is one you need to hear.Pre Order Ben's Incredible Book - All You Can Eat - By Clicking Here - https://www.amazon.co.uk/All-You-Can-Eat-British/dp/1805221523 Hosted on Acast.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE In the quiet farm fields of rural Nebraska, a 120-year-old house stood seemingly ordinary—until something hidden beneath it was uncovered. When the home's new owner discovered a strange wooden box tucked away in the cellar, its contents raised immediate questions. Inside were unsettling items: part of an unfamiliar book, a piece of coal, and a doll unlike anything he'd seen before. Unsure of what he was dealing with, he reached out to paranormal investigators Alan Megargle and Jesse Morgan. What began as a simple investigation quickly grew into something far more disturbing. That discovery became the foundation for the documentary A Haunting in Blue Hill, which follows a team of investigators as they explore the origins of the box and the spirits seemingly tied to it—and to the home itself. As communication begins, it becomes clear that the objects were not random, and the cellar was not chosen by accident. Today on The Grave Talks, we sit down with directors Alan Megargle and Jesse Morgan, along with team members Anna Meyer Evans and Madison Flewelling, to discuss the film, the investigation, and what happens when the past is quite literally unearthed.

Gregg Moore is a ceramic artist who is best known for his work with Dan Barber at the restaurant Blue Hill at Stone Barns. The Glenside, Pennsylvania based artist is a professor of ceramic art at Arcadia University and also co-owns the ceramic studio Heirloom alongside his wife Jackie, which sells plateware influenced by agriculture and farmers' markets.Why don't we think of the plate with as much depth as we think of the food that sits on top of them? Not just how it holds the food on top or within it, but the materials they are made from and what they represent?  This discussion really made me think a lot about the vessels we use to communicate food. It's not every restaurant that can have a ceramicist like Gregg and give them the space to be creative, but for many that strive for something different it could be a missed opportunity.One of the signature elements he works with is bone, using mostly the femurs of cattle that live at Stone Barns. Using a late 1700s recipe by Josiah Spode, he breaks down the bones into a powder, which gets remade into plates and cups. What's fascinating is they have done tests about the quality of the bones and it is directly related to how the cows live. A healthier, grass fed cow not injected with hormones has purer bones that result in better plateware. It really makes you think about what we are putting in our bodies.--Host: Nicholas GillCo-host: Juliana DuqueProduced by Nicholas Gill & Juliana DuqueRecording & Editing by New Worlder Email: thenewworlder@gmail.comRead more at New Worlder: https://www.newworlder.com

After the interview, Dave answers an Ask Dave on homemade condiments (1:02:30) before finishing Part 2 of his ramen cooking, creating the broths and tares, and bringing it all together with the noodles from the cooking segment in Ruby Tandoh's episode (1:08:12).

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE In the heart of rural America, hidden among the fields of Blue Hill, Nebraska, stands a farmhouse with a chilling past. For over 120 years, it held its secrets—until one man made a discovery that would change everything. Deep in the cellar, the new homeowner unearthed a mysterious old wooden box. Inside were strange and unsettling items: part of a cryptic book, a piece of coal, and a doll unlike anything he had ever seen. Unsure of what he had stumbled upon, he reached out to paranormal investigators Alan Megargle and Jesse Morgan. What followed would become the chilling documentary A Haunting in Blue Hill. The film chronicles their investigation into the box and the house itself, as the team—joined by Anna Meyer Evans and Madison Flewelling—uncovers disturbing connections between the objects and restless spirits. EVP sessions, unexplained movements, and encounters with energies tied not only to the items but to the very land itself unfold on camera. Was the box a ritual object? A cursed collection? Or simply a forgotten relic that carried with it the energy of tragedy and despair? The answers, revealed through the haunting investigation, leave more questions than they resolve. Join us as we sit down with the filmmakers and investigators to discuss A Haunting in Blue Hill—a true story of discovery, mystery, and contact with the other side. This is Part Two of our conversation.

Famed Chef Jonathan Waxman came to Wine Talks through a mutual friend who we lost last year to cancer; Melvin Masters was a one-of-a-kind character in the wine trade and Jonathans partner in the famed Jams Restaruarant.    On a recent trip to Nashville, Tennessee, I insisted that the group I was with follow me to Roberts Western (most probably the last true country bar in Nashville), for a fried bologna sandwich. They looked at me crosseyed and followed blindly. You see, we had just finished dinner and everyone had overeaten and were tired. But I knew if I didn't go the first night we were there, I wouldn't make it.  Pray tell, why would one do that? Well, if Jonathan Waxman says the first thing he did was take famed Italian Chef Giada De Laurentiis to experience the $5 fried bologna sandwich. Who shouldn't? A slice of flat top freid bologna between two pieces of white bread with a side of Lays potatoe chips, I was in hog heaven. Add a PBR, and you are off to the races. Jonathan Waxman is the kind of chef who can turn a honky tonk fried bologna sandwich in Nashville into high culinary art, then philosophize about the virtues of a perfectly marbled 1961 steak—all before your first glass of Beaujolais is finished. In this episode, you'll discover the inner workings of an acclaimed chef's mind as Jonathan shares the flavors, friendships, and formative experiences that shaped his career. You'll hear about how “wine comes first, food comes second” became his guiding principle, the serendipitous plane rides sourcing lamb and lobster for legendary winery dinners, and the awe-inspiring meals in the kitchens of France that sparked his lifelong passion for simplicity and flavor. Alongside host Paul Kalemkiarian, Jonathan revisits the rollicking days at Michael's and Jams, brushes elbows with food world icons from Alice Waters to Melvin Masters, and reveals the quiet intensity required to survive and thrive in the high-wire environment of fine dining. From the intricacies of nouvelle cuisine to the rainbow of immigrant influences shaping American food culture, you'll gain an insider's appreciation for the nuances of restaurant evolution, the subtle art of pairing local wines with regional dishes, and the uncompromising drive that keeps chefs inventing and adapting—even when the world turns upside down. Whether you're curious how the Michelin Guide still shapes a restaurant's fortunes, or just want to know what it's like to be mentored by legends while flying by the seat of your pants, this episode peels back the layers of taste, tradition, and tenacity, one delicious story at a time.

Hello to you listening in Blue Hill, Maine!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.Seth Godin, internationally known thinker, author and strategist posed a question: what's the difference between a protest and a project? [Seth's Blog]Protests let off steam. They organize people who might not show up by creating a moment in time where there's enough opportunity and social pressure that they participate.A protest sends a message.But almost every time, the very things that made a protest appealing mean that it fails to change much. That's because protests are momentary, temporary and urgent. The status quo is good at surviving protests. That's why it's still the status quo.But a PROJECT begins with a protest that ends with, “We'll be back tomorrow, and we're bringing our friends!”A PROJECT is impatiently persistent. It plays a longer game, one that can outlast the status quo.A PROJECT identifies the system and brings a systematic approach to changing that system.PROJECTS can seem boring when seen with a stopwatch, but they're powerful when measured with a calendar.Think about it: Nationwide we've marched at Hands Off in April, No Kings in June, Good Trouble in July, and in a few days Workers Over Billionaires on Labor Day. Other marches continue all over our country. We the People have become a Protest PROJECT!Story Prompt: What happens each time you show up to a protest, share your voice, and come back for more doing your part to upset the status quo? Write that story! And tell it out loud!You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us!

#232 - Stone Barns head baker Eli Pipkin reveals what it takes to bake whole grain bread that is alive with flavor, nutrition, and story. Rooted in the mission of chef Dan Barber's Blue Hill, Eli shares how his team mills fresh flour, bakes with intention, and builds a bread program that honors farmers and soil. This conversation digs deep into how bread - when made right - can restore health to people, ecosystems, and food culture itself.https://realorganicproject.org/eli-pipkin-mastering-whole-grain-bread-232The Real Organic Podcast is hosted by Dave Chapman and Linley Dixon, engineered by Brandon StCyr, and edited and produced by Jenny Prince.The Real Organic Project is a farmer-led movement working towards certifying 1,000 farms across the United States this year. Our add-on food label distinguishes soil-grown fruits and vegetables from hydroponically-raised produce, and pasture-raised meat, milk, and eggs from products harvested from animals in horrific confinement (CAFOs - confined animal feeding operations).To find a Real Organic farm near you, please visit:https://www.realorganicproject.org/directoryWe believe that the organic standards, with their focus on soil health, biodiversity, and animal welfare were written as they should be, but that the current lack of enforcement of those standards is jeopardizing the ability for small farms who adhere to the law to stay in business. The lack of enforcement is also jeopardizing the overall health of the customers who support the organic movement; customers who are not getting what they pay for at market but still paying a premium price. And the lack of enforcement is jeopardizing the very cycles (water, air, nutrients) that Earth relies upon to provide us all with a place to live, by pushing extractive, chemical agriculture to the forefront.If you like what you hear and are feeling inspired, we would love for you to join our movement by becoming one of our 1,000  Real Friends:https://www.realorganicproject.org/real-organic-friends/To read our weekly newsletter (which might just be the most forwarded newsletter on the internet!) and get firsthand news about what's happening with organic food, farming and policy, please subscribe here:https://www.realorganicproject.org/email/
