Podcasts about Fine dining

Step into Episode 221 of On The Delo as Delo sits down with Keifer Gilbert - a tattooed small-town Arizona kid turned elite craft bartender turned sober ultra runner - for one of the most honest, raw, and inspiring conversations the show has delivered. From getting fired from Applebee's reeking of Jäger at 20, to helping launch Counterintuitive cocktail bar, to blacking out nightly while raising a newborn, Keifer's story is a masterclass in rock bottom, reinvention, and what it actually takes to do hard things sober.They cover the Phoenix and Scottsdale hospitality scene in depth - Cashmere, Cowboy Chow, Bitter & Twisted, Counterintuitive - and then pivot into the real story: how sobriety on Christmas Day 2018 led to Keifer trading shots for trail running and ultimately finishing the Cocodona 250, a 256.3-mile race from Black Canyon City to downtown Flagstaff with 37,000 ft of elevation gain in 108 hours. If you've ever struggled to let go of an identity that no longer serves you, or wondered if it's too late to become someone new, this episode will hit different.Chapter Guide (Timestamps):(0:17 - 1:25) Ep 221 Intro: Consistency, Repetition & Being a Little Psychotic(1:26 - 6:23) Getting Started: Flagstaff, Applebee's, Getting Fired, and One Semester at GCU(6:24 - 9:37) Landing at Cashmere & Cowboy Chow - Finding His Footing in Fine Dining(9:38 - 12:36) Counterintuitive: 32 Seats, 12 Hours of Prep, 8 Hours of Service - Craft Cocktails Done Right(12:37 - 17:20) Life at Bitter & Twisted: Long Shifts, Late Nights at Tally Ho, and a Body Falling Apart(17:21 - 19:26) Identity, Blackouts, and the Bar Industry's Dark Side(19:27 - 23:59) Sobriety: Christmas Day 2018, Cooper at 6 Months, and the Decision That Changed Everything(24:00 - 27:30) 8 Years Sober: The Emotional Lightning Rod Phase, the Three-Year Switch, and Life Today(27:31 - 29:01) From Jiu Jitsu to COVID Runs: How Ultra Running Accidentally Took Over(29:02 - 35:00) Cocodona 250: The Race, the Prep, the First Day Disaster, and 30,000 Calories Burned(35:01 - 40:18) What 256 Miles Does to Your Identity - And Cam Haines Cheering From the Trail(40:19 - 44:30) What's Next: Front-End Developer, USCA Certified Ultra Coach, and What Keifer Promotes(44:31 - 46:20) Rapid Fire: Climbs vs. Downhills, Warrant vs. Ratt, Bears on Mingus Mountain & More

Eine riesige Altstadt auf steilen Klippen, fast unwirklich schön. Nur dass hier seit 900 Jahren Menschen wohnen, die auch noch nett sind und maximal genießen können. Jochen war im Schweizer Fribourg, wo man ein paar Minuten vom Bahnhof in eine wunderschöne Welt gleitet, die beschaulich und lebendig zugleich ist. Er kann sich nicht sattsehen an einer Stadt, die auf mehreren Ebenen aus dem Fels wächst. Die Flüsse, die Gassen, die schönen Bauten. Ja, es gibt Sehenswürdigkeiten wie die Standseilbahn von 1899, aber fast noch mehr bewegt ihn, wie nett die Leute miteinander sind und natürlich: das Essen! Jochen isst Safran-Risotto mit Bergkäse in umgebauten Apotheken plus unzählige weitere feine Geschmacksexplosionen: Und er merkt: 40.000 Menschen, 10.000 davon Studierende - das macht etwas mit einem Ort. Alte Mauern gefüllt mit jungen Ideen - hätten wir sieben Leben, eines davon würden wir hier verbringen. Auch wegen des Unmlandes: Gleich um die Ecke, in La Gruyère, entsteht einer der berühmtesten Käse der Welt. Die Folge dazu wartet schon im Feed.—

Fine dining is hell, apparently. If you don't believe The Bear, I guess you could turn to this SVU for further evidence, but that might be giving it more credit than it's due.Here, we watch as Not Gordon Ramsey throws temper tantrums in his terribly named fine dining effort, pushing questionably sourced prawns, screaming at his runners, and sexually assaulting his waitstaff. This guy is a real a-hole, but he keeps shaking the charges, which leads the Unit to working with--or is it against--the Brooklyn ADA who really dug Stone's pickoff move. One look at which season this one comes from should tell you everything you need to know. Characters do things they'd never have done under a different guiding hand, details aren't well thought out, and nothing makes sense.

Für manche ist gutes Essen ein Hobby. Für Adam Haugsted ist es eine Obsession. Und wo könnte man ihn besser treffen als an einem Ort, an dem sich alles um außergewöhnlichen Genuss dreht? Ich habe Adam im Rahmen des „Festival der Aromen“ der Culinary Society in Hamburg getroffen. 13 Sterneköche aus ganz Deutschland, dazu besondere Produzenten und hochwertige Weine – und mittendrin Adam, besser bekannt als „The Food Fetishist“. Der 26-jährige gebürtige Kopenhagener reist quer durch Europa für ein einziges Menü, nimmt stundenlange Umwege in Kauf und gibt schon mal Hunderte Euro fürs Taxi aus, nur um ein bestimmtes Restaurant zu erreichen. Seine Leidenschaft begann früh: Mit 14 Jahren saß er zum ersten Mal im Noma, später folgten das Geranium und immer mehr der besten Restaurants Europas. Heute besucht er mehr als 50 Sternerestaurants im Jahr – und genauso leidenschaftlich sucht er nach dem besten Döner oder dem perfekten Steak-Sandwich. Als „The Food Fetishist“ hat sich Adam in kürzester Zeit eine große Community aufgebaut. Sein Erfolgsrezept: ein unverwechselbarer dänischer Akzent, große Begeisterung für die Spitzengastronomie – und vor allem eine klare Meinung. Wenn ihn ein berühmtes Restaurant enttäuscht, spricht er darüber. Wenn er hinter großen Events vor allem Lobbyarbeit vermutet, sagt er das auch. Damit macht man sich in einer kleinen, eng vernetzten Branche nicht nur Freunde. Im Gespräch geht es um Einladungen und Sonderbehandlungen – und um die Frage, wie unabhängig man noch urteilen kann, wenn Restaurants längst wissen, wer da am Tisch sitzt. Und natürlich um Geld. Adam gibt viel davon für Restaurants und Reisen aus. Verschwendung? Für ihn ganz im Gegenteil: „Ich investiere lieber in ein Drei-Sterne-Restaurant als in den S&P 500.“ Er sieht all das als Investition in sich selbst und seine Zukunft. Natürlich sprechen wir auch über konkrete Restraurantbesuche wie kürzlich bei Christian Bau, im Noma, Geranium – oder über das Jordnær, sein Lieblingsrestaurant. Wo das alles noch hinführt? Restaurantkritiker, Entertainer, eigene Projekte? Adam weiß es selbst noch nicht. Aber wer weiß, was aus dieser außergewöhnlichen Leidenschaft noch wird.

Johann Lafer ist einer der bekanntesten Köche im deutschsprachigen Raum. Zwei Sterne, Witzigmann-Schule, Fernsehen, Unternehmer, Marke. Viele kennen ihn aus dem TV, andere aus der Spitzengastronomie. In der neuen Folge von Rolling Pin Talks trifft er auf Host Ursula Macher – und spricht so offen wie selten zuvor. Es geht um seinen Weg vom jungen Steirer in die große Küche, um Erfolge, Rückschläge und Entscheidungen, die erst im Nachhinein richtig wirken. Lafer erzählt, warum er seine Krebserkrankung öffentlich gemacht hat, wie sich sein Blick auf das Leben verändert hat und weshalb Ehrlichkeit für ihn irgendwann alternativlos wurde. Gleichzeitig wird es kulinarisch: Lafer spricht über den Zustand der Spitzenküche, über junge Köche, die zu früh zu viel wollen, über die Grenze zwischen Kreativität und Selbstinszenierung – und über die Frage, warum ein guter Kartoffelsalat manchmal mehr über einen Koch verrät als ein komplizierter Teller. Auch seine Arbeit mit der Lufthansa, die Rolle von Technik in der Küche und sein Blick auf Chancengleichheit in der Ausbildung kommen zur Sprache. Am Ende steht ein Gespräch über Kulinarik, Öffentlichkeit, Verletzlichkeit und den Antrieb eines Mannes, der längst nicht mehr beweisen müsste, dass er dazugehört – und trotzdem weitermacht. Unbedingt anhören!

⭐️ Frischer geht's nicht: Letzte Woche wurde THE CLOUD by Käfer in der ikonischen BMW Welt München mit zwei Michelin-Sternen ausgezeichnet.Und genau heute trifft Küchenchef Jens Madsen  Tom im MKN Küchenschnack und nimmt uns mit in diesen unglaublichen Moment. ☁️✨Wir sprechen über seinen Weg von Tansania über den Chiemsee, London, Hamburg, Australien und den Tegernsee bis nach München – und darüber, warum er nicht einfach das ehemalige EssZimmer weiterführen wollte.

Chef and co-owner of Christchurch's popular fine-dining restaurant INATI Simon Levy joined Canterbury Mornings after his restaurant won a Michelin star on Tuesday evening.

A small chance Michelin inspectors may not dish up any stars at all tonight. Tourism New Zealand's coughed up $6.3 million to bring the world-class restaurant ranking to this country, with a ceremony taking place in Auckland this evening. Secret judges have been roaming restaurants across Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and Queenstown for more than a year. Tourism NZ CEO Rene de Monchy told Mike Hosking he'd be disappointed if no stars were handed out, but judging is completely independent. He says there's no guarantee, but they seemed impressed with the country's food offering. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Eigentlich sollte Hamburg für Fabio Haebel nur eine Zwischenstation sein. Nach seiner Ausbildung zum Koch und Hotelfachmann wollte er hinaus in die Welt – stattdessen wurde die Hansestadt zum Ausgangspunkt einer außergewöhnlichen Unternehmergeschichte. Heute gehört Fabio Haebel zu den spannendsten Köpfen der Hamburger Gastroszene. Hinter seinem Namen stehen das Sternerestaurant hæbel, die Wein- und Pastabar kiosque, die XO Seafoodbar und Frames. Mit Studio Haebel hat er seine Leidenschaft für Ideen konsequent weiterentwickelt: Die Hospitality-Kreativagentur begleitet Restaurants, Hotels und Marken bei der Entwicklung neuer Konzepte und Markenerlebnisse. Im Foodtalker erzählt Fabio von seinem ungewöhnlichen Weg: Mit 15 Jahren zieht er von zu Hause aus, um Koch zu werden. Nach einer zweiten Ausbildung im Hotelfach arbeitet er zunächst als Catering-Koch auf Tourneen internationaler Musikacts, bevor er eher zufällig in Hamburg landet. Mit gerade einmal 25.000 Euro Startkapital, viel Eigenleistung und der Unterstützung von Freunden eröffnet er schließlich sein erstes eigenes Restaurant – ohne zu ahnen, dass daraus eine außergewöhnliche Unternehmergeschichte entstehen würde. Fabio Haebel versteht sich weniger als Koch denn als kreativer Kopf und kulinarischer Entwickler. Ihn faszinieren Ideen, Produkte und die Frage, wie aus vielen Einflüssen ein stimmiges gastronomisches Gesamterlebnis entsteht. Kopieren interessiert ihn nicht – wohl aber das Beobachten, Weiterdenken und Neuinterpretieren. Wir sprechen darüber, warum manche seiner Ideen ihrer Zeit voraus waren, weshalb er sagt, dass er sich „sehr schnell gelangweilt“ fühlt, und warum ihn genau diese Unruhe immer wieder antreibt, neue Wege zu gehen. Außerdem geht es um Gastfreundschaft, Unternehmertum, Teamgeist, Familie und die Menschen, die seine Projekte tragen. Besonders spannend ist sein Blick auf die Rolle eines Gastronomen. Für Fabio geht es längst nicht nur ums Kochen. Seine Aufgabe beschreibt er so: beobachten, filtern, Ideen weiterentwickeln und daraus Konzepte schaffen, die Menschen begeistern. Ein inspirierendes Gespräch über Kreativität, Mut und die Erkenntnis, dass erfolgreiche Gastronomie nicht mit einem Rezept beginnt – sondern mit einer Idee.

In Folge #131 trifft Rolling Pin auf Massimo Bottura – an seinem Geburtstag, mitten in einem Jahr voller Jubiläen. Die Osteria Francescana wird 30, Food for Soul feiert 10 Jahre, und Bottura denkt lauter denn je darüber nach, welche Rolle Köche heute spielen müssen. Es geht um die schwierigen Anfänge in Modena, um italienische Tradition als lebendigen Rohstoff, um Lasagne als Kindheitserinnerung, um soziale Verantwortung in der Spitzengastronomie und um die vielleicht wichtigste Frage für die nächste Generation: Reicht es noch, nur gut zu kochen? Die Antwort von Bottura ist ziemlich eindeutig. Und ziemlich unbequem.

Mit dem Buoy startet Marvin Böhm derzeit eines der spannendsten kulinarischen Projekte Hamburgs. Der ehemalige Aqua-Souschef entwickelt hier seine eigene Handschrift: norddeutsch geprägtes Fine Dining, produktorientiert und gleichzeitig offen für moderne Techniken und internationale Einflüsse. Bevor Marvin Böhm für viele Jahre ins 3-Sterne Restaurant Aqua nach Wolfsburg wechselte, arbeitete er zwei Jahre in der Schwarzwaldstube der Traube Tonbach unter Harald Wohlfahrt. Im Aqua an der Seite von Sven Elverfeld prägten ihn anschließend vor allem Präzision, Produktverständnis und kreatives Arbeiten auf höchstem Niveau. Parallel dazu nahm er regelmäßig an internationalen Wettbewerben teil und kochte weltweit bei Events und Gastspielen. Nach seinem Abschied aus dem Aqua nutzte Marvin Böhm die Zeit bewusst für kurze, intensive Stationen und neue Perspektiven – unter anderem bei Jan Hartwig in München, Juan Amador in Wien, bei Goldies in Berlin sowie im Kaiserstuhl. Denn für ihn zählt am Ende vor allem eines: Geschmack – unabhängig davon, ob Fine Dining oder Streetfood. Im Gespräch geht es um norddeutsche Klassiker, wie Krabbensuppe mit Blutorange, Scholle, Erinnerungen an Wackelpudding mit Vanillesoße und darüber, warum man klassische Küche erst verstehen muss, bevor man sie modern interpretieren kann. Außerdem geht es um kreative Prozesse, Teamarbeit bei der Entwicklung neuer Gerichte und die Frage, wie überhaupt eine eigene kulinarische Stilistik entsteht. Natürlich reden wir auch über den Neustart des Buoy im ehemaligen Bianc: über die ersten Monate in Hamburg, den kreativen Freiraum, den Aufbau eines neuen Teams und die Herausforderung, ein Restaurantkonzept Schritt für Schritt weiterzuentwickeln – kulinarisch genauso wie atmosphärisch. Eine Folge über Geschmack, Kreativität, norddeutsche Identität und den Mut, nach vielen Jahren noch einmal ganz neu anzufangen. Moderiert und produziert von Boris Rogosch.

Louisiana knows food. Whether it's a crawfish boil in your parrain's backyard or a night out at one of the longest running restaurants in the state – there is a character and whimsy associated with everything we do culinarily. New Orleans has truly set itself apart as a food destination and puts in some extra flare with the city's attention to detail and hospitality. This week, I talk to Katy Casbarian, whose family has owned Arnaud's in the historic French Quarter since the 1970's, but like many restaurants in the city and state, the history, tradition and level of fine dining began much earlier. We talk about food, hospitality and the state of fine dining in the city and state.

Der gebürtige Steirer hat bei Gordon Ramsay in London, im Arzak in San Sebastián und im Steirereck gelernt. Seit 2013 baut Konstantin Filippou gemeinsam mit Ehefrau Manuela an einem kleinen Imperium in Wien – zunächst das „Konstantin Filippou", dann das Bistro „o boufes", und schliesslich Feinkostprojekt „Mama Konstantina". Zwei Sterne, volle Häuser, große Anerkennung. Und dann kam das Jahr 2025, das alles auf den Kopf stellte. Berichte über Arbeitsbedingungen, Vorwürfe über falsch deklarierte Zutaten, ein Mediensturm, der sich gewaschen hatte. In dieser Folge der Rolling Pin Talks sprechen Manuela und Konstantin Filippou gemeinsam und ungeschönt über Fehler, Konsequenzen und die Frage, was einen als Paar und als Unternehmer zusammenhält, wenn es wirklich brennt.

Daniel Vidal, head chef of Baldío, LATAM's first zero-waste restaurant, joined Koen in the kitchen in Mexico City to talk about what it actually takes to make radical food accessible to the people it was always meant for. When Baldío won a Green Michelin Star, Daniel didn't think to take his mother there for her birthday as the restaurant back then could win over critics but not his own community.Daniel walks through how Baldío rebuilt its menu from the ground up shifting from a Nordic-inflected à la carte that impressed visiting chefs to a tasting menu grounded in tamales, tacos, and corn in every single dish. He explains why familiarity is the gateway drug for getting locals to try ant eggs, grasshoppers, and beef treated with koji to mimic the texture Mexicans already know from corn-fed imports. Daniel unpacks the 60-ingredient mole built almost entirely from kitchen waste — banana peel tart trimmings, English sauce offcuts, insect protein — as both a culinary feat and a zero-waste accounting exercise.This is the third episode of a three conversations series recorded on location at Baldío, in Mexico City: farm, fermentation lab, kitchen. More about this episode.Thoughts?

This week, The Over Seasoned Crew dives headfirst into the rise, influence, and eventual backlash surrounding some of the most important restaurants in modern culinary history... from Ferran Adrià's legendary El Bulli to René Redzepi's global empire of fermentation and foraging at Noma.What started as innovation eventually became imitation, and the guys unpack how molecular gastronomy, Nordic cuisine, tasting menu culture, and “Instagram dining” reshaped restaurants around the world (for better and for worse). Along the way, they debate the death of slate plates (thank goodness), the exhaustion of trend-chasing chefs, the pressures of culinary fame, and why so many restaurants lost the plot trying to become the next big thing (sometimes you just want a classic done... well... classically).The conversation also gets brutally honest about restaurant culture itself: kitchen hazing, burnout, abusive hierarchies, and the complicated reality behind the romanticism of fine dining. It's thoughtful, funny, occasionally ruthless (of course), and no doubt grounded in years of firsthand industry experience.If you've ever wondered how we got from white tablecloth classics to edible moss, tweezers, and 27-course tasting menus, this episode connects the dots.

Collin Werner might only be 27, but don't let his age fool you. He's already worked in some of the most well-regarded kitchens in Omaha, now advancing to become the Chef de Cuisine at Au Courant. We run through Collin's career, assess the lessons he learned at different stops, discuss the value of culinary school, and more! This episode is a deep dive into creativity, discipline, and what it really takes to succeed in a modern kitchen.

Step into Episode 210 of On The Delo as Delo sits down with Mark Miller, a five-decade veteran of Arizona's beverage and food industry, whose career took him from delivering beer on a Hensley truck in 1978 to serving as VP of Sales for the state's largest Anheuser-Busch wholesaler, leading the Arizona Food Marketing Alliance (AFMA), and now heading BACIC Arizona — the industry-backed organization dedicated to reducing underage drinking across the state. If you're in hospitality, food retail, distribution, or simply want an insider's look at how the food and beverage world really works, this episode is packed with perspective you won't find anywhere else.Mark breaks down how the Arizona beverage landscape evolved from a handful of brands and no light beer to craft explosions, hard seltzers, THC beverages, and the booming non-alcoholic movement — and how consumer behavior, dram shop laws, and lower BAC limits quietly reshaped where and how people drink. He unpacks the three-tier distribution system from the ground up, explains why consolidation among distributors is accelerating, and gives local Arizona food and beverage brands the honest roadmap for getting their products onto grocery shelves, into restaurants, and in front of the right distributors. You'll also hear about BACIC Arizona's newest initiative — funding alcohol-free prom and graduation parties for high school students across the state with $10,000 in grants awarded to schools through organizations like Chicanos Por La Causa.Chapter Guide (Timestamps):(0:00 - 1:41) Episode 210 Intro, Toilet Paper Roll Theory & Mark's Origin Story(1:42 - 4:33) Iowa Farm Roots, Hensley Beverage, Copper Mines & Coming Home to Phoenix(4:34 - 8:41) Beer Evolution: Light Beer, Craft, Seltzers & What Gen Z Is Drinking Now(8:42 - 12:22) THC Beverages, the Three-Tier System & How Prohibition Shaped Today's Laws(12:23 - 17:39) Dram Shop, Liquor Liability, Drunk Driving, Uber & Distributor Consolidation(17:40 - 22:09) AFMA, Food Supply Chain & Lobbying for Online Grocery Delivery Before COVID(22:10 - 25:11) Taxation Battles, Tips Policy & Defending the Food Industry at the Legislature(25:12 - 30:39) Local Brand Playbook: Brokers, Shelf Space, SEO, Siete & Tito's Success Stories(30:40 - 36:28) BACIC Arizona: Underage Drinking Prevention, $10K School Grants & Prom Parties(36:29 - 42:07) Giving Back, Non-Negotiables & Rapid Fire: Golf, Fine Dining & Convenience Stores(42:08 - 43:26) Delo's Close, BACIC Arizona Resource & Bar and Restaurant Insurance Shoutout

Los Angeles shows out in a big way as the 2026 James Beard finalists are announced—and for once, it actually feels like the city is getting its due. We break down the biggest headlines, who got snubbed, and whether the Beards still mean what they used to for LA and fine dining at large.Then, we dive into the growing backlash against fine dining, sparked by Khushbu Shah's viral Substack and a New York Times piece on kitchen culture. Is the model broken, or just overdue for evolution?In Chef's Kiss / Big Miss, we react to Bill Esparza's “bagels are just bread” take, a new South Asian hand roll concept in Lomita, and the case for “middle-aged restaurants”—the spots that have outlasted the hype and might actually be at their peak.In Part 2, Chef Brian Bornemann of Crudo e Nudo joins to talk about building one of LA's most compelling restaurants from a pandemic pop-up, why the traditional restaurant model doesn't work, and how local seafood—and smaller fish like sardines and mackerel—fits into the future of dining.--Presented by the wine geniuses at mva.wine.

#124Josh, Mike, and Matt sit down with Arjav Ezekiel, co-owner of Birdies and James Beard Award-winning beverage director, for a candid conversation about tipping, labor, and the future of restaurant models. Drawing from his time at Union Square Hospitality Group and his experience building Birdies, Arjav unpacks the intent behind Danny Meyer's Hospitality Included movement and why it ultimately failed. The group debates whether tipping is fundamentally broken, the role of legislation versus operators in fixing it, and how economics—not just philosophy—determines what actually works in restaurants.The conversation then shifts to solutions, with Arjav sharing how Birdies was built from first principles to solve for labor while maintaining high-level hospitality. By blending counter service with fine dining elements, rethinking team structure, and redistributing tips, the restaurant has created a more sustainable model. The episode closes with a broader reflection on innovation in hospitality, the importance of mentorship and the dining room, and why restaurants may become one of the last meaningful spaces for human connection in an increasingly digital world.Links and resources

#123Josh sits down with Matthew Conway and Michael Jacober for a wide-ranging conversation that moves from franchise operations to solo dining trends to the realities of running independent restaurants in today's economic climate. The episode opens with Michael sharing the launch of his first Jersey Mike's franchise in suburban Chicago and what surprised him most about the process. From corporate buildouts and turnkey systems to training support and operational playbooks, they unpack what you're really paying for in a franchise model and why, in some ways, it can feel like cheating compared to building from scratch.The conversation shifts into broader industry trends, including the rise of solo dining, the growth of breakfast reservations, and how consumer behavior is evolving in a post-pandemic world. They debate whether people are dining alone to unplug or simply to simplify, why early dinner reservations feel controversial, and how hospitality translates across full-service, counter-service, and large-format restaurants. Along the way, they explore the risks and rewards of massive, high-revenue restaurant builds, the operational pressure of scaling, and what it actually takes to sustain margins in 2025. The episode closes with reflections on growth, ambition, and what it means to build something repeatable versus something personal.Links and resources

When heard about the work that chef India Doris is doing with her new restaurant, Markette, in bringing Caribbean heritage and flavours to European-style fine dining, I was delighted to have the chance to speak with her. India is the co-owner and Executive Chef at Markette, which is a modern European restaurant based in Chelsea, New York, along with The Argyle, a cocktail lounge located directly below the restaurant. This past fall, she was awarded the Young Chef Award at the 2025 Northeast Michelin ceremony. Originally from London, India has lived and cooked throughout Europe at acclaimed restaurants in Spain, France, and the UK, such as London's La Trompette and Bibendum at the Michelin House, in addition to time spent studying butchery in Scotland. Upon settling in New York City over ten years ago, India worked as Chef de Partie at The NoMad before joining renowned, late Chef James Kent at his debut restaurant, NYC's MICHELIN-starred Crown Shy, and later rising to Executive Sous Chef at sister concept, two MICHELIN-starred SAGA. At Markette, India's seasonally-rotating menu is heavily inspired by her time spent in Europe and upbringing in the UK, as well as by her Caribbean heritage – showcasing her creative, yet timeless point of view. India has accomplished so much, and it's clear in chatting with her that this is only the beginning. In today's conversation, we explore her early days in the culinary world and its lasting influence on how she approaches her work, the ways she navigates fine dining culture in her Markette menu by infusing autobiographical elements into dishes that reflect Caribbean culture, flavours, and histories, and how she built a sustainable environment for her staff through a respect-first approach to the kitchen.

This week on the Walk-In Talk Podcast, Chef Ryan Yost joins us in studio after traveling from Western North Carolina to Lakeland for a full production day. Ryan is a chef-manager with Operation Blessing, an international humanitarian organization providing disaster relief through food, clean water, medical care, and rebuilding efforts. His path has taken him from fine dining kitchens to feeding communities in crisis across the U.S., Jamaica, and Ukraine. In this episode, we explore what it means to cook for people who need food, not just want it. We talk about discipline under pressure, humility in service, and how chef-level technique still matters, even when you are cooking with limited resources in disaster zones. Ryan also steps into the studio kitchen to prepare two dishes, bringing the same respect for ingredients and precision he applies in the field. Because for him, whether it is a donated ingredient or a premium protein, it deserves care. This episode continues Walk-In Talk Media's global storytelling expansion. Recently, Frederic Casagrande conducted his first live fire interview in Dubai with Chef Andrew Dickens, further extending the show's reach into international culinary conversations. From disaster zones to global live-fire stages, the mission remains the same — elevate chefs and the impact they create.  This conversation is about purpose, responsibility, and how chefs can use their craft for something bigger than themselves.

Fort Lauderdale is having a moment, and Chef Jonathan Kaiser is part of the reason why.In this episode, I sit down with the South Florida native and the chef leading Calusso at Pier Sixty-Six Resort to talk about his journey from early kitchen obsession to high-level fine dining. We dig into what he learned cooking under Joël Robuchon in Las Vegas, why sauce is everything, the tiny details that make a restaurant feel truly luxurious, and what it takes to keep standards sky-high when you're pushing serious covers.Also: the origin story behind his Instagram name, his obsession with consistency, the cheese dessert I'm obsessed with, and the restaurants he actually sneaks off to when he's not running a kitchen. Hint: it has the word PANDA in the name. Yup, that one. If you're curious about Fort Lauderdale's culinary glow-up, what Michelin standards look like behind the pass, or why “luxury” is really just a thousand tiny decisions done correctly, this one's for you.LISTENAppleSpotifyiHeartradioAmazon MusicAudibleor on any major podcast platform. WATCH on YouTubeCheers!BrendaMessage Brenda The Whet Palette Supper Club is officially launching.Support the show
