Episode 002 of Bon Appétit Radio reflects the kind of dancefloor I love building: warm, rhythmic, and rooted in global house influences, but pushing steadily into tougher, late-night territory. I wanted the journey to feel intentional—from Afro-house grooves and funky swing, into hypnotic melodic tension, and finally into raw, peak-time power before landing in an after-hours glow.

Welcome back to The Go-To Food Podcast, where we're joined by Alison Roman — chef, writer, and creator of some of the most talked-about recipes of the last decade. Alison takes us back to her first kitchen job at Sona in Los Angeles, working under David Myers for $7.25 an hour, crying daily but learning fast. It was a tiny, nine-person kitchen that ran like The Bear, long before The Bear existed. From there she went to Milk Bar in New York, then the Bon Appétit test kitchen — reverse-engineering photo-shoot dishes into recipes home cooks could actually make. The early days were brutal, pre-Instagram, and anonymous. No bylines, no fame, just biscuits, burnouts, and a deep sense that if you showed up more than anyone else, something would happen.In London, Alison's been eating with purpose — Café Deco's anchovy-studded little gem, a quiche that insists it's a frittata, and a beef stew she calls one of the best she's ever had. She weighs The Devonshire against The Pelican and The Hart. There's a fascination with pub culture, a debate over sharpened pencils at hotel reception, and a reminder that the best meals aren't always on “the list.” We get her take on TikTok chefs, the chaos of phones in kitchens, and an unnerving AI ad that generates recipe ideas without authors — proof, she says, that food without humanity just doesn't taste the same.We talk legacy too. From Dining In to Nothing Fancy to Sweet Enough, Alison's cookbooks built a blueprint for the way people cook now — easy, intuitive, quietly confident. She admits the dessert book nearly broke her, but Something for Nothing came easily because it mirrors how she actually cooks. There's a new tomato sauce line born from her husband's refusal to cook, a love letter to anchovies, and an argument for doing one thing well instead of a thousand badly. We end with her perfect menu: shrimp cocktail, Caesar salad, ribeye in brown butter and lemon, and a slice of key lime pie — the ultimate Alison Roman meal, simple, specific, and unapologetically human.------Sponsor: This episode is brought to you by Blinq—POS made simple: £69/month, unlimited devices, 24/7 UK support, no contracts or hidden fees.

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

It's the return of a special video podcast series: Food Writers Talking About Food Writing. It's available on the TASTE YouTube channel, so make sure to subscribe and check out the video version of this podcast. Every couple of weeks, Matt invites a journalist to talk about some favorite recent food writing as well as their thoughts on the industry as a whole. In today's episode, we have a great conversation with Elyse Inamine. Elyse is a journalist who worked at Tasting Table and Food & Wine before serving as restaurants editor at Bon Appétit. She's also the coauthor of For the Love of Kewpie: A Cookbook and Celebration, which, as the name suggests, is a celebration of one of the world's finest condiments. We talk about Elyse's journalism career and book work before digging into some of her recent stories.
It's a birthday party, and you're invited! Public Parking, the East Johnson Street bar, is turning one year old this weekend. The bar is celebrating with free champagne, raffle prizes, and drag performances. It's been a big first year–from being named a best new bar in the country by Bon Appétit to winning the Judge's Choice award at Bittercube's Botanical Battle Royale 2025. Ahead of the birthday party, host Bianca Martin chats with co-owner JR Mocanu about their first year in business and all the fanfare they've received.
Bon Appétit columnist Maggie Hennessy helps us navigate the new rules of dining out. Is it ever OK to take out your phone? What's the best way to grab your server's attention? And how fussy is too fussy? Plus, Irene Yoo throws a soju party, and Grant Barrett and Martha Barnette of A Way With Words share the stories behind your favorite pasta shapes.Listen to Milk Street Radio on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify
Why has hot sauce gotten so - well, hot? Bon Appétit's Joseph Hernandez sheds some light on the rise of condiment culture, and why the spicy stuff got so popular over the past ten years (even Mötley Crüe has a hot sauce line!). Later, we explore our biological reactions to spice and heat with Nik Sharma, author, chef and molecular biologist. He's guiding David through a taste test of some of the hottest peppers, sauces and condiments out there today. And, he's breaking down the science of each reaction — let's see if David can handle it!
