From washing pots in Cumbria to cooking at The Square, Hof van Cleve and Geranium, and winning the Roux Scholarship along the way, Tom Barnes has taken the long road to the top. In this episode, he reflects on patience, loyalty and why not rushing your career can still lead you to the very highest level. It's a rare, honest look at what two decades in elite kitchens actually teaches you, long before you ever open your own restaurant.That journey now culminates at SKOF, one of only two Michelin-starred restaurants in Manchester. Tom talks about opening the restaurant he always wanted to eat in, celebrating his first star with a no-frills Chinatown Chinese, and designing an experience that feels warm, fast-moving and generous rather than formal or intimidating. From hot broths arriving within minutes to a dining room full of return guests, SKOF is built around instinct, rhythm and pleasure.We get deep into the detail. Why there are three menus. How a 17-course tasting can still feel light and brisk. Why there's no such thing as a filler dish. Tom breaks down blending their own beer, structuring services so guests are never left waiting, and hiding a confit duck leg inside bread because great food should still have moments of joy and surprise.The episode finishes on something deeply personal. Tom shares the story behind Barney's tiramisu, a dessert he still makes exactly as he once did for his dad, now served as a quiet tribute at the end of the meal. Add in football chat, non-alcoholic pairings done properly, hot towels, frozen plates and a city finally getting the food scene it deserves, and this is a conversation that shows how the long way round can be the right way.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.

On this episode of The LA Food Podcast, Luca Servodio is joined by food reporter Karen Palmer to break down the viral LA dining discourse sparked by Kerry Rose Schwartz (@comfywithkerry) and her claim that “LA fine dining is a scam.”We dig into why Kerry's videos exploded, the pushback from chefs like Jeremy Fox, and what the backlash reveals about hype culture, pricing, influencer power, and the widening expectation gap facing Los Angeles restaurants. Is this a needed reality check for diners—or damaging rhetoric during a brutal moment for the industry?Karen also shares where she's been eating lately, including Broken Spanish Comedor, a return visit to Ronan, cocktails at Bar Benjamin, and what makes a restaurant worth revisiting beyond the hype cycle. Luca recaps recent meals at Napa Rose at Disneyland post-renovation, Darling by Sean Brock, and an accidental Bravo-side quest at SUR.In Chef's Kiss / Big Miss, we weigh in on the Crenshaw Food Hub and its community-first food model, Marco Pierre White going viral while eating McDonald's, the rise of all-day cafés reshaping American dining, and the latest wave of algorithm-friendly “liquid food” and meal-replacement culture. A wide-ranging, opinionated conversation about what's actually worth eating—and talking about—in LA right now.We also discuss Karen's latest on Hermon's and The Rainforest Cafe (lol).

Chef Tyler Akin has a long and impressive bio. Earlier in his career, he worked at Zahav in Philadelphia and Mini Bar and Komi in D.C. More recently, he opened Bastia in Philadelphia's Hotel Anna & Bel, which helped solidify his role in redefining hotel dining. But a lot is going on behind the scenes with Akin. Many of his projects he describes as "white label," meaning he's brought on to create a signature dish, design a kitchen, or consult on food costs. Or he's hired to open a new restaurant, from hiring to menu development and branding. Tyler discusses how he juggles these projects and what he's looking for next with guest host Gloria Dawson.

The restaurant industry faces a critical "fork in the road" in 2026 as pricing power runs out and brands pivot to value-driven strategies. Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Michael Halen joins Restaurant Mastermind hosts Paul Barron and Anna Tauzin to discuss the K-shaped recovery, casual dining's surprising renaissance led by Chili's viral marketing execution, and the intensifying QSR value wars between McDonald's, Taco Bell, and others. With economic tailwinds from lower gas prices and potential tax reforms, plus shifting consumer discovery patterns favoring TikTok over Google among Gen Z, the conversation reveals why success in 2026 will depend on mastering fundamentals: exceptional operations, smart marketing, and authentic value perception rather than technological silver bullets.#RestaurantIndustry #FoodService #HospitalityTrendsGet Your Podcast Now!
