Send us a textOn this episode of The Whet Palette Podcast, host Brenda Popritkin sits down with David Whitaker, President and CEO of the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau, to discuss Miami's ever-evolving culinary identity.The last time Whitaker joined the show, Miami had just been named Bon Appétit's Food City of the Year and was taking its first steps into the Michelin Guide Florida partnership. Fast-forward to today, and the Magic City's restaurant scene has exploded—claiming James Beard Award wins, Michelin Keys, and countless national headlines celebrating its chefs and culture. This time, Travel + Leisure reported on the WalletHub report that officially named Miami the "#1 Food City in North America" in September 2025.Michelin, Miami, and Managing SuccessWhitaker credits Miami's success to both innovation and community resilience.“Once you get to the top, managing success is much harder than building to success,” he notes. “But what a privilege it is to maintain our position as one of the world's top dining destinations.”He highlights how Michelin's arrival didn't just reward 17 or so restaurants, it lifted all of Miami's culinary landscape. From Wynwood to Coconut Grove and Downtown Doral, fine dining has become a lifestyle, not a luxury.Beyond the Stars: Miami Spice and Local SupportPrograms like Miami Spice, which celebrates its 25th anniversary next year, continue to help both diners and restaurateurs thrive. In 2024 alone, a record 387 restaurants participated, generating more than seven million visits to the GMCVB's landing page.“Food is synonymous with lifestyle,” says Whitaker. “It's incumbent on all of us to continue to support our chefs. We can't take them for granted.”The Road Ahead: 2026 and BeyondWhitaker also teases a massive upcoming year for Miami:FIFA World Cup 2026 (nine matches hosted locally)College Football National ChampionshipNHL Winter ClassicFormula One and Miami Open returningAnd through it all, food will remain at the center of the city's global brand.“Miami is where you go if you want to make it big as a chef,” Whitaker adds.The TakeawayFrom Michelin stars to farm-to-table innovation, Miami's dining scene continues to evolve with creativity, resilience, and heart.

For thousands of years, humans have sought healing from within — through breath, movement, and energy. Practices like Qigong, yoga, and, more contemporarily, Reiki have emerged from traditions as powerful ways to restore balance, vitality, and inner peace. Qigong uses slow, intentional movement and breath to cultivate life force energy, while yoga unites body and mind through postures and controlled breathing. Reiki, rooted in Japanese energy medicine, offers gentle, hands-on healing by channeling universal energy. In our current world of constant changes, stressors, and stimulations, are these ancient grounding practices for healing and harmony still viable?In this episode, we are joined by three expert guests within the tenets of Qigong, yoga, and Reiki. Firstly, Lisa Li is the founder of The Qi (a flowering tea wellness company) and a certified Qigong instructor, having trained in the traditional Chinese practice for 7 years. Lisa and The Qi have been featured on New York Magazine, Bon Appétit, Architectural Digest, Food & Wine, and Good Housekeeping.Melissa Jeng is a decade-long yoga and mindfulness teacher based in New York City. Trained through Yogamaya and with Jules Mitchell, Melissa pursued advanced training in biomechanics, meditation, trauma-informed yoga, and breath work.Margaret Wang is a Usui/Tibetan Reiki practitioner, having completed her training at The International Center for Reiki Training.Follow Friends of Franz Podcast: Website, Instagram, FacebookFollow Christian Franz (Host): Instagram, YouTube

The cook and food writer Alison Roman frequently emanates and celebrates a certain spilled-milk imperfectionism. Her on-camera candor and laid-back cooking style have both contributed to growing her devoted audience of home cooks as well as the food-curious, many of whom have followed her and her singular recipes over the past decade-plus, from her prior media roles (Bon Appétit and The New York Times) to the independent-platform path she's now on. That's not to mention her three best-selling cookbooks, Dining In (2017), Nothing Fancy (2019), and Sweet Enough (2023), as well as her forthcoming fourth title, Something from Nothing, out Nov. 11. For Roman, there's joy and wisdom to be found in embracing a certain amount of honest-to-goodness mess, all while maturing into different versions of herself, in and out of the kitchen.On the episode, she reflects on the diaristic quality of her dishes, how time and money have shaped her cooking style and recipe-writing approach throughout her life, and the beauty of prioritizing tangible things in our ephemeral digital age.Special thanks to our Season 12 presenting sponsor, Van Cleef & Arpels.Alison Roman[4:49] Something From Nothing (2025)[5:52] Dining In (2017)[5:52] Sweet Enough (2023)[10:38] Nothing Fancy (2019)[16:06] First Bloom[22:03] The Tenth Muse by Judith Jones (2007)[22:03] Home Cooking by Laurie Colwin (1988)[22:03] Books by Anthony Bourdain[22:03] Blood, Bones & Butter by Gabrielle Hamilton (2011)[32:00] Chris Bernabeo[47:46] Solley's[56:24] Christina Tosi[57:22] Bon Appétit

Welcome to Bon Appétit Radio. I wanted this mix to be a deep, groove-heavy session that blurs borders. Over the course of two hours, I move through warm, percussive house, elastic basslines, and shimmering melodic touches — all stitched together with intention and space to breathe. It starts with dusty, soulful rollers and gradually builds toward more muscular, club-leaning energy, while always staying rooted in feeling. For me, this isn't just a collection of tracks — it's a story told through tension, groove, and restraint. I'm always looking for that shared pulse between Afro-influences, Latin percussion, deep house swing, and dubbed-out synthwork. That common thread is what I try to surface in every set. The result is something bold, heartfelt, and hopefully danceable.” ⚡️Like the Show? Click the [Repost] ↻ button so more people can hear it!
